• Serve as a dedicated partner for our top enterprise customers, providing a personalized and proactive billing experience.
• Manage a manual and complex invoicing process for our largest customers, from order intake to cash application, ensuring accuracy and timeliness.
• Embody the role of a collections analyst by actively reconciling and analyzing moving parts of a customer's account to ensure timely payments.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with sales, legal, and other teams to resolve complex billing discrepancies and customer inquiries.
• Develop a deep understanding of customer needs by getting on calls, asking the right questions, and proposing effective solutions.
• Interact directly with senior-level executives, both internally and externally, using your strong communication and executive presence to navigate sensitive situations.
• Champion process optimization by identifying bottlenecks in manual workflows and proposing refinements to streamline the order-to-cash cycle over time.
• Utilize your expertise in the full Order to Cash (OTC) cycle, including invoicing, cash application, and collections.
• Analyze and prepare accounts receivable reports, and assist in month-end close activities.
• Uphold Samsara’s cultural principles as we continue to grow and scale globally.
• Champion, role model, and embed Samsara’s cultural principles (Focus on Customer Success, Build for the Long Term, Adopt a Growth Mindset, Be Inclusive, Win as a Team) as we scale globally and across new offices
