• Leading and coaching functional team members, reviewing key deliverables, establishing clear ownership, and driving timely resolution of functional and cross-workstream issues.
• Overseeing testing and defect resolution for rates, tariffs, billing cycles, high-volume billing runs, invoicing, rebilling, and downstream financial impacts.
• Managing workstream scope, estimates, dependencies, risks, stakeholder decisions, and escalations while clearly communicating impacts to customer operations, revenue, schedule, and solution quality.
• Leading cutover planning and billing-cycle transition activities, including operational procedures, training, production readiness, support handoff, and post-go-live stabilization.
• Building trusted relationships with client stakeholders and providing functional guidance on SAP IS-U Billing capabilities, solution decisions, and transformation priorities.
