How to apply for Invoicing Consultant

About Omnidian

Omnidian is a Series C tech-enabled service company focused on performance assurance for distributed solar and energy storage. It is a certified B Corp headquartered in Seattle. The company provides 24/7 solar system monitoring and advanced diagnostics.

About the role

As an Invoicing Consultant, you will research invoicing discrepancies for the commercial business line, aiming to resolve them quickly with field service partners. You will also document and analyze discrepancies to find patterns and propose solutions to prevent future issues. This contract role is remote within the US.

A typical day

You will spend about half your time researching discrepancies in Salesforce and partner invoices, determining their origin, and working with teams to validate or push back. The other half involves documenting findings, analyzing data for patterns, and proposing solutions to prevent future issues. You will communicate with field service partners to resolve discrepancies quickly.

Who Omnidian is looking for

• Experience with invoicing, billing, or accounts payable processes, especially in a commercial or service-based environment.
• Familiarity with Salesforce for data lookup and updates; ability to cross-reference partner invoices with internal records.
• Strong analytical skills to identify patterns in discrepancy data and propose process improvements.
• Comfortable working independently in a remote setting and collaborating with cross-functional teams to resolve issues.

Tips for this application

• Highlight any experience you have with invoice discrepancy resolution or reconciliation in your resume.
• Mention specific examples of how you used Salesforce or similar CRM tools to investigate and correct data issues.
• Emphasize your ability to communicate with external partners to resolve conflicts and reach mutual agreements.
• If you have worked in solar, energy, or field service industries, call that out as it relates to the commercial business line.
• Since this is a contract role, make it clear you are available for contract work and can work remotely in the US.

What to cover in your cover letter

['Your experience resolving invoicing discrepancies and the methods you use to investigate root causes.', 'How you have used data to identify patterns and propose solutions that reduced future discrepancies.', 'Your ability to work with cross-functional teams and external partners to reach resolutions.', "Your interest in sustainable energy and how this role supports Omnidian's mission."]
