* About the Role:

** The Sr. Analyst is responsible for senior-level analysis, administration, and oversight of third-party off-net expenses and network lease expenses to support accurate payment operations, cost management, financial reporting, and business decision-making. This role performs complex review of vendor invoices, network lease charges, contractual rate information, inventory data, service records, and related financial documentation to identify billing discrepancies, cost variances, financial risk, and opportunities for expense improvement.

The Sr. Analyst is expected to work with a high degree of independence, apply sound analytical judgment in situations where processes may be limited or evolving, develop practical recommendations, coordinate cross-functionally to resolve complex issues, and provide management-ready insights that support operational efficiency, financial controls, and expense optimization.
** What You'll Do:
*** Independently review and analyze third-party off-net and network lease expense activity to support accurate, timely, and well-controlled payment processing.
* Analyze vendor invoices, network lease charges, contractual rate information, usage records, inventory data, service records, and financial documentation to determine billing accuracy and financial impact.
* Reconcile vendor charges and network lease expenses against internal inventory, service, lease, and financial records; identify discrepancies, missing information, and potential areas of financial exposure.
* Research billing, inventory, contractual, lease, and payment variances; document findings; coordinate resolution; and determine appropriate next steps when procedures or prior examples are not clearly defined.
* Analyze cost trends, exceptions, recurring billing issues, vendor charges, and network lease expense activity to identify savings opportunities, financial risks, and areas for process improvement.
* Review unscheduled maintenance charges related to network lease expenses; work cross-functionally with operations, engineering, vendors, lessors, and other stakeholders to validate charge accuracy, supporting documentation, service impact, and appropriate cost allocation.
* Prepare clear, data-supported summaries and recommendations related to third-party off-net services, network lease expense, and related cost categories.
* Serve as a knowledgeable resource for internal teams regarding off-net expense trends, network lease expense activity, invoice exceptions, reconciliation practices, and vendor billing questions.
* Apply independent judgment when reviewing payment, billing, and network lease expense issues, including situations that require analysis beyond established procedures.
* Coordinate with internal departments, external vendors, lessors, and business partners to resolve disputed charges, clarify billing or lease expense issues, validate service records, and improve expense-record accuracy.
* Recommend improvements to procedures, reporting methods, and reconciliation processes to improve payment accuracy and reduce unnecessary third-party off-net and network lease expense.
* Prepare analytical reports, variance summaries, accrual support, and management-ready updates to support budgeting, audit, and decision-making activities for third-party off-net and network lease expenses.
* Take ownership of assigned recurring review activities, exception queues, documentation, and follow-up needed to support expense management processes.
* Support audits, budgeting, accrual review, vendor governance, lease expense review, and other financial planning activities related to off-net and network lease expense management.
** Do You Have:
*** Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Business, Economics, or related field, or equivalent combination of education and experience.
* Experience in financial analysis, cost analysis,…
