    • Arrange meetings with clients and project managers and leaders to discuss the challenges in clearing payments.

    • Maintain an up-to-date collection tracking sheet, ensuring real-time visibility of overdue invoices and next steps.

  3. Collaboration with Project Managers

    • Liaise with project teams to confirm milestones reached and invoicing triggers, preventing missed billing opportunities.

    • Provide regular status updates to Project Managers on payment progress and escalate issues when needed.

  4. Reporting & Analysis

    • Compile monthly cash flow projections based on expected payment dates.

    • Provide insights on potential payment risks, suggest strategies to mitigate overdue receivables, and recommend process improvements.

  5. Financial Compliance & Documentation

    • Ensure all financial documentation aligns with internal policies and local regulations.

    • Prepare audit-friendly records, capturing client confirmations, negotiation summaries, and final settlement terms.

  6. Negotiation & Dispute Resolution

    • Employ strong negotiation tactics to resolve payment disputes swiftly and amicably, securing the best possible outcomes for HUED and Araamis.

    • Maintain professional relationships with client finance counterparts, safeguarding ongoing partnerships.

Experience & Industry Background

  2. Proven track record managing project invoices and payment collection from corporate or government clients.

Technical & ERP Proficiency

  2. Competence in analyzing financial data, generating real-time updates, and ensuring data integrity.

  2. Assertive communicator with strong negotiation skills, capable of handling overdue payments diplomatically yet firmly.

Language & Communication

  2. Clear, concise communication style, both written and verbal, suitable for client-facing roles.

Project Management Capability

  1. Ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams and balance multiple project demands simultaneously.

  2. Knowledge of basic project life cycle milestones to understand when invoicing triggers occur.
