Our client, a well-established international business with a strong collaborative culture, is looking for a Senior Associate to join their Sales Order Management team. You'll be the link between contracts and finance, turning client agreements into accurate sales orders, invoicing and revenue milestones.
The Role
You'll sit between two Sales Order Management Associates and the Principal Associate. You'll be the first person the team comes to with complex queries, and you'll stand in for the Principal Associate when they're away. Your main responsibilities will be:
- Reviewing contracts, quotations, work orders and purchase orders for completeness, accuracy and compliance, including checking for the correct legal entities, type of work and deliverables
- Turning contracts into sales orders in the ERP system and setting up invoicing and revenue milestone profiles
- Following contract deliverables through from set-up to completion, including raising invoice requests and releasing revenue milestones on time
- Querying and resolving contract issues with Business Development, Operations and other stakeholders
- Working with Finance to make sure monthly revenue is recorded accurately, and supporting the budgeting and forecasting process
- Building and maintaining Excel tracking tools for complex, long-term contracts
- Giving guidance, support and on-the-job training to the Associates, and reviewing the quality of their work
- Finding ways to improve processes as the number and complexity of contracts grows
What You'll Need
- At least 3 years' experience in sales order management, sales order processing, contract administration or a similar role
- Experience of reading contracts and pulling out the key details to set up sales orders
- Experience of entering contracts or sales orders into an ERP system (training is given on the system they use)
Exposure to the finance side of contracts, such as invoicing, billing and tracking deliverables
- Excellent attention to detail and the confidence to question and challenge errors constructively
- A confident, assertive manner, with the ability to lead conversations across departments
- Strong Excel and numeracy skills
- Team leader, supervisory or coaching experience
Experience from any industry is welcome. This would suit someone with a strong background in contracts or sales order management who is ready to take the next step into a senior role.
