About the role
- This role reports directly to the Manager of Client Enablement in Professional Services.
- Gap analysis: Conduct gap analyses between current-state client processes and platform capabilities, identifying process changes, workarounds, or enhancement requests needed to close gaps.
- Identify and resolve data quality issues, edge cases, and exception scenarios in invoice processing that could result in allocation errors or ERP posting failures.
Responsibilities
- Design end-to-end cost allocation architectures that map logistics invoice charges - including freight, accessorial fees, fuel surcharges, and duty/tax components - to the appropriate client GL accounts, cost centers, or profit centers.
- Perform QA testing and error analysis on agent generated business rules logic to assure accuracy and proper execution while documenting improvement opportunities in agent development knowledge.
- Aide in the configuration and develop business rules within our platform to automate the routing, splitting, and apportionment of invoice costs according to client-defined allocation logic and business policies.
- Design and execute comprehensive testing plans - including unit, integration, and user acceptance testing (UAT) - to validate that allocation rules produce accurate, expected outputs across all invoice scenarios.
- Develop and maintain detailed functional design documents, data mapping specifications, requirements traceability, and allocation rule libraries to support client sign-off, change control, and long-term maintainability.
- Partner with Product and Engineering to prioritize platform enhancement requests, write user stories and acceptance criteria, and validate delivered functionality against documented requirements.
- Collaborate with client ERP teams (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, NetSuite, etc.) to validate that cost data exported from our platform integrates cleanly into downstream financial workflows and reporting structures.
- Serve as a subject matter expert (SME) on cost allocation best practices, advising clients on rule design trade-offs and helping them align logistics cost visibility with broader finance and reporting objectives.
- Support client change management and end-user adoption by developing process documentation, training materials, and communication plans for new allocation workflows.
- Support post-go-live stabilization by monitoring allocation accuracy, triaging discrepancies, and implementing rule enhancements as client business needs evolve.
