• Manage billing operations and escalations, ensuring timely, accurate invoicing and resolution of customer disputes
• Identify and mitigate revenue leakage risks across the services lifecycle (from booking to billing)
• Own and optimize PS systems and tools (e.g., PSA, reporting platforms), ensuring data accuracy and usability
• Establish operational governance rhythms (e.g., forecast reviews, utilization tracking, business reviews)
• Lead cross-functional alignment to close process gaps and drive durable solutions - not just recommendations
• Drive change management and enablement for new processes, tools, and operational initiatives
• Continuously improve customer and internal experience by reducing friction in services engagement and delivery

Qualifications:
• 8+ years of experience in Professional Services, Operations, or related roles
• Strong understanding of services business models, including utilization, revenue recognition, and margin drivers
