• Analyze vendor expenses in comparison to contract budgets and identify savings opportunities.

• Prepare expense variance and budget forecast reports for monthly and annual cycles.

• Manage large telecom datasets to produce carrier report analyses and track expense trends.

• Create financial dashboards and status updates to evaluate spending against project timelines and allocated resources.

• Support the mid-year and year-end forecasting process; track planned vs. actuals and secure rollovers of unspent funds.

• Collaborate with stakeholders across IT, Finance, and Vendor Operations to align on contract utilization and budget compliance.

• Investigate and resolve telecom-related financial variances and report insights to leadership.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field.

• Strong experience with telecom expense analysis, financial forecasting, and large data reconciliation.

• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel, including advanced formulas and pivot tables; strong MS PowerPoint and Word skills.

• Strong attention to detail, data integrity, and process improvement.

• Excellent analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills.

• Ability to multitask in a fast-paced environment with minimal supervision.

• Proven experience optimizing financial processes and supporting cost containment initiatives.

Preferred Skills:

• Familiarity with telecom carrier services, cloud billing models, or IT service management.

• Experience developing and managing dashboards and automated reports using Excel or BI tools.

• Background in project-based financial tracking or public-sector financial environments.
