    • Monitor workflow and status stages, respond to send-back items, correct documentation, and resubmit packages promptly.
    • Use Caspio reporting views to identify expiring contracts, prioritize renewals, and track open requests by workflow stage.
  • Invoice review, payment processing, and monitoring

    Purpose: Support timely payment while ensuring invoices align with contract terms, budgets, deliverables, and documentation requirements.

    • Review contract invoices for accuracy, alignment with contract terms and budget, required documentation, and deliverable requirements.
    • Ensure invoices are properly stamped, reviewed, accurately coded, and routed for payment within five business days of receiving the invoice and required support.
    • Track invoice status using Caspio and follow up on invoices stalled in workflow.
    • Maintain monitoring files or Caspio/Excel reports to track cumulative spend, remaining balances, invoicing cadence, late invoices, contract end-date risk, renewal status, and issues requiring corrective action.
    • Identify and elevate risks early, including late invoicing, documentation gaps, overspend risk, and end-date risk, with recommended corrective actions.
  • Program support, stakeholder coordination, and recordkeeping

    Purpose: Provide hands-on contract support and maintain audit-ready files across the contract lifecycle.
