• Identify, analyze, and communicate discrepancies between invoiced style variants and PO line items.
• Process Return to Vendor and Vendor Chargeback debit memos.

• Manage vendor tickets and respond to inquiries within a 24-48 hour SLA.
• Navigate manual workarounds and complexities related to deliveries diverted or transferred to different warehouses.

• Partner with IT Systems Architects and the Engineering Team to resolve issues and enhance processes.
• Participate in UATs (User Acceptance Testing) for system enhancements and ad hoc projects.
• Collaborate with AP leadership to resolve transactions, monitor aged invoices, and support day-to-day activities.
