Job Description

The Billing Operations Program Analyst supports the accurate, timely, and compliant execution of Brightspeed’s billing operations and customer invoicing. This role serves as an operational bridge between Billing Operations, IT, Finance, and external vendors, ensuring billing changes, communications, and incidents are managed with strong governance and minimal impact to revenue and customer experience. The role is especially critical during Brightspeed’s transition from legacy billing platforms to SAP BRIM. 

 

Key Responsibilities 

  • Own the planning, coordination, and execution of billing-related initiatives, including invoice messages, bill inserts, layouts, and regulatory or product-driven changes. 

  • Coordinate intake, testing, approvals, and deployment of billing communication updates with internal stakeholders and external vendors. 

  • Manage and prioritize billing-related incident tickets (INC), partnering with IT and vendors to triage issues, implement fixes, and prevent recurrence. 

  • Support the “Bill on Time” operating model by monitoring invoice readiness, data quality, and billing messages to ensure accurate and timely invoice delivery. 

  • Support monthly billing cycles across multiple customer segments using SAP BRIM, including validation of rating, charging, invoicing, and revenue data. 

  • Perform pre- and post-billing reconciliations and regression testing to ensure invoice completeness and accuracy. 

  • Investigate and resolve discrepancies related to usage feeds, orders, pricing, and customer hierarchies. 

  • Manage invoice-related projects such as bill redesigns, new product launches, regulatory changes, and system enhancements. 

  • Develop timelines, track milestones, manage dependencies, and ensure billing changes are delivered without disrupting billing cycles. 

  • Perform audits and validations to support SOX controls, tariff compliance, and contractual requirements. 

  • Support revenue assurance activities by reconciling billed versus unbilled usage and validating invoice-level revenue. 

  • Develop and maintain dashboards and KPI reporting related to billing readiness, accuracy, volumes, and exceptions. 

  • Manage external vendor portal access and role assignments and support user training on billing communication tools and processes. 

  • Serve as a subject-matter expert for billing operations, invoice communications, and billing issue resolution. 

Qualifications

Education & Experience 

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, Information Systems, or a related field preferred. 

  • 4+ years of experience in billing operations, revenue operations, financial systems support, or a related function. 

  • Experience supporting enterprise billing platforms (SAP BRIM preferred). 

  • Experience in telecommunications, SaaS, or subscription-based environments is strongly preferred. 

  • Exposure to usage-based billing, customer invoicing, and telecom regulatory charges (e.g., E911, USF, SLED) is a plus. 

  • Project coordination or project management experience is a plus. 

 

Skills & Competencies 

  • Strong analytical and investigative skills with the ability to identify, analyze, and explain data discrepancies. 

  • Advanced Microsoft Excel skills (pivot tables, XLOOKUP/VLOOKUP, reconciliations, data validation). 

  • Ability to manage multiple initiatives and deadlines in a fast-paced, operational environment. 

  • Strong communication and collaboration skills across IT, Finance, Operations, and external vendors. 

  • Experience with SQL, Power BI, Looker, or similar reporting tools is a plus. 

 

Preferred Qualifications 

  • Hands-on experience with SAP BRIM billing cycles and data validation. 

  • Experience supporting billing transformations or system migrations. 

  • Familiarity with SOX controls, revenue assurance, and billing governance frameworks. 

 

Physical Demands & Work Conditions
