Project Management, Acquisition/Procurement, and Information Technology.

OCT currently has an opening for an Agreements and Customer Billing Specialist to work with our federal client.

This role supports a federal financial management shared services program that provides cost allocation, customer billing, financial reporting, and customer service operations to multiple federal customer organizations. The specialist will manage the agreements, routing, and customer communications that keep each customer organization’s funding and service terms in place.

Day to day responsibilities include

• Support the annual Service Level Agreement renegotiation, starting about 120 days before fiscal year-end: maintain the plan and schedule, track comments and edits, maintain adjudication tracking, consolidate the final draft by September 15, and prepare panel and routing sheets.
• Prepare draft intra-agency agreement forms (Fiscal Service 7600A and 7600B) in Treasury G-Invoicing, and track their routing, review, approval, and signature with customer organizations and internal budget and finance offices, including repeated cycles during continuing resolutions.
• Coordinate, track, and submit access requests for the program’s billing tools. The client’s IT organization approves and provisions all access.
• Track and report data-provider response times and, when requested, response quality.
• Maintain the content and pages of the customer service SharePoint site, protect PII and Sensitive but Unclassified information, and coordinate with the client’s IT organization on any site changes.
• Support fiscal year-end activities, including queue report tracking and distribution, customer meetings, and guidance communications tailored to each customer organization.
• Serve as backup for the quarterly cost per vendor invoice reports and the monthly customer activity reports.
• Develop training materials and help deliver virtual training to employees who provide data.
• Support ad hoc taskings and process improvement projects as assigned.

The background investigation is for a Public Trust position and includes a questionnaire, fingerprinting, credit check, and law enforcement agency checks. A client-issued badge is required before any work begins.
• Highly desired: an active Secret or Top-Secret security clearance. The client has confirmed it will accept reciprocity for an active clearance held with another federal agency, which can shorten onboarding.
