Job Description

Day‑to‑Day The Research Finance Billing Analyst will provide hands-on support for sponsored research billing and accounts receivable. This person will work alongside the Senior Research Billing Analyst and the broader Research Finance team to complete the daily transactional work required to keep sponsor billing and collections moving. Responsibilities will include preparing and submitting invoices, entering manual invoices, completing journal entries and reconciliations, monitoring outstanding receivables, supporting collection activities, and investigating routine discrepancies. The analyst will spend a significant amount of time working in Workday. This person should be comfortable learning existing workflows, maintaining accurate documentation, following established procedures, and escalating more complex issues to the Senior Analyst or manager. Unlike the senior opening, this position is primarily a hands-on execution role. The consultant will not be expected to lead the entire function but should bring enough experience to work independently, recognize when something is incorrect, and help the team improve the accuracy and consistency of its billing operations. Because the division of responsibilities is still being finalized, the ideal candidate will be adaptable and willing to support different areas of research billing, AR, collections, cash application, and general accounting as priorities evolve.
