- Build technology-enabled workflows for intake, sourcing, onboarding, engagement, billing, performance management and offboarding.
- Partner with relevant functions to implement controls for vendor risk, information security, confidentiality, data handling and compliance.
Billing, E-Billing & Financial Controls
