Role Summary

Vertex is seeking a self-directed contractor to build an ASC 606 conclusion reference guide.

• Develop a consistent way to categorize and summarize prior conclusions, including their supporting rationale and source references.
• Build a user-friendly reference tool that helps teams locate potentially comparable analyses when new contracts are executed.
• Evaluate appropriate AI-enabled search or summarization capabilities in coordination with Vertex stakeholders and applicable data-handling requirements.
• Validate the guide with users, document how it should be maintained, and recommend a process for adding future conclusions.

Required Qualifications

• Experience organizing complex information into clear, usable reference materials or tools.
• Working understanding of ASC 606 and the ability to interpret technical accounting analyses.
• Experience using AI tools in a professional setting, with an understanding of the need to verify outputs against source documents.
• Strong project ownership, attention to detail, and ability to work independently with stakeholders.

Technical Skills Required

• ASC 606 revenue recognition and contract-analysis concepts.
• Information organization, tagging, and searchable knowledge-base design.
• AI-assisted research or information retrieval.
• Proficiency with document and spreadsheet tools.

Preferred Skills

• Experience with biotechnology or pharmaceutical contracts.
• Experience building internal guidance, precedent libraries, or knowledge-management tools.
