• Rate Increase Management: Build and manage a standardized process for “allowable and necessary” vendor rate increases, including analyzing vendor-side increases, reviewing customer contracts, and calculating the impact on gross margin before implementation.
• Cross-Functional Coordination: Act as the central hub for contract and pricing data , working with Sales, Operations, and Procurement to gather service details, update assumptions, and align on changes that affect billing and margin.
