• Process vendor invoices against POs/Invoices/GRNs and drive them through the approval-to-payment cycle without being chased
• Proactively follow up with internal stakeholders (site, procurement, management) to unblock stuck payments
• Reconcile vendor ledgers, UTR payments, and advances against running account bills
• Handle vendor calls on payment status, disputes, and deduction clarifications professionally
• Support client billing RA bills, certified measurements, and follow-up for client payment release
• Maintain a live payment tracker across multiple project sites
• Flag cash-flow risks or payment bottlenecks to management before they become urgent

Preferred candidate profile

• Solid understanding of invoice-to-payment cycle, TDS, GST basics, and retention/advance adjustments
• Strong Excel skills reconciliation, ledgers, ageing reports
• Confident, clear communicator will negotiate payment timelines with vendors directly
• Experience coordinating across site, procurement, and accounts teams
• Prior experience specifically chasing/releasing vendor payments (not just data entry) is a strong plus
• B.Com/M.Com/MBA or equivalent; construction finance exposure strongly preferred

Perks and benefits

• Direct ownership of vendor payment cycles — not buried in back-office data entry
• Exposure to multi-site project finance across hospital and institutional construction
• Clear line of visibility to COO/Operations Manager given the role's direct impact on cash-flow
