Collect and validate supporting documentation (invoices, POs, contracts/SOWs, consumption reports, approvals) and confirm correct charging to entity/cost centre/project
Set up and run a monthly cost review cadence — timetable, templates, actions tracker — and produce a concise MI pack covering validated cost position, key movements, CAM changes, and risks/issues
Document CAM rule/driver/mapping changes with rationale, approvals, and effective dates, and drive remediation of gaps, duplicates, or outdated allocations to closure
What you'll bring:
Proven experience in cost management, performance management, finance control, or FP&A-style support, ideally within Technology and/or a regulated environment
Strong reconciliation skills — able to trace reported costs to source and explain variances clearly
Familiarity with allocation/chargeback (CAM) concepts and cost attribution
Advanced Excel (pivot tables essential; PowerQuery a plus)
Sharp attention to detail, comfortable with imperfect data
Confident communicator, able to constructively challenge stakeholders and drive issues to closure
