That includes standardizing document formats, improving workflows, and building tools like checklists and trackers to streamline and future-proof the process.
What you will be doing:
- Conduct lease audits by cross-checking:
- Site schedules vs. on-site conditions
- Lease agreements vs. SAP-loaded data
- Identify and resolve discrepancies in lease terms, billing information, site data, and compliance items.
- Flag risks such as outdated information, undocumented amendments, or billing errors.
- Document audit findings with clear summaries, evidence, and recommended actions.
- Standardize templates and reports to ensure consistency and clarity in how data is captured, presented, and communicated.
- Collaborate with internal teams (legal, finance, operations) to ensure updates are made across all relevant systems.
- Create and maintain checklists, trackers, and SOPs to streamline future audits and handovers.
- Recommend process improvements based on recurring issues or inefficiencies observed during audits.
- Ensure compliance with contractual obligations, internal controls, and audit readiness standards
- 100% of sites reviewed, with clear and traceable audit trails
- Reduced turnaround time for identifying and correcting data mismatches
- SAP records align with real-world site and contract conditions
- Standardized documentation adopted across the client's lease management process
- Continuous improvements logged and rolled out across audit cycles
What you will bring:
- Strong attention to detail and analytical mindset
- Working knowledge of lease agreements and commercial terms
- Experience with SAP or similar enterprise systems
- Proficient in Excel, Word, and audit documentation practices
- Comfortable working independently and driving process ownership
- Background in property, compliance, finance, or telecom infrastructure is a bonus
