• Manage the full purchase order lifecycle, including reconciliation and invoice tracking through payment confirmation, ensuring precision and financial accuracy.
• Partner directly with Engagement Owners to gather required documentation and ensure complete and accurate spend reporting.
• Draft, review, finalize, and archive compliant contracts using approved templates—collaborating with Legal and Compliance teams on non-standard terms—while ensuring data privacy and secure archiving.
• Provide expert guidance and interpretation of compliance policies for cross-functional stakeholders, answering complex compliance queries and advising on hospitality and regional restrictions.
• Scope, plan, and execute events alongside multi-disciplinary project squads, coordinating material preparation, travel, logistics, budget tracking, and post-event impact evaluations.
