Senior Rebate Analyst and Operations

Job description

Job Description Summary

The Senior Rebates Analyst & Operations role leads the end-to-end execution and continuous improvement of contractual back-end rebates/discounts (credits) for GE Aerospace Materials, Repairs, and Used Serviceable Material (USM). The role combines strong analytical ownership (40%) with operational leadership and process ownership (60%) to ensure credits are validated and calculated accurately, issued on time, and governed through standard work, KPI management, and cross-functional operating rhythms.

Job Description

Analyst Roles & Responsibilities

·  KPI ownership and performance management for analyst scope, including 45-day turnaround time (TAT) and dollar-value impacts such as cost savings, with regular visibility to stakeholders.
·  Validate and calculate credits by reconciling customer-submitted data (e.g., consumption reports/invoices) against GE source data and applying contractual rules accurately.
·  Interpret contract language and translate it into clear calculation logic, assumptions, and documentation to ensure consistent application across periods and stakeholders.
·  Own “contract-level standard work” documentation (DJIs): create the standard work at contract signing (including building/maintaining the calculation template), train peers, and serve as process owner to ensure sustained adherence.
·  Provide project management for each credit through the full crediting workflow (validation, calculation, required internal approvals such as CPM and SAE, and issuance), including proactive tracking, issue escalation, and closure.
·  Publish a weekly credit status update (e.g., credits in progress, pending approvals, blocked items, estimated time of completion), coordinating closely with the CPM and other owners to drive closure.
·  Dispute resolution: coordinate and influence internal and external stakeholders to align on interpretation, data, and outcomes; document decisions and implement the agreed resolution in the standard work/template to prevent recurrence.
·  Audit support: support audit requests by producing evidence, ensuring traceability from contract term to calculation to issuance, and owning closure of audit findings related to analyst processes/controls.
·  Peer review audits: conduct or participate in peer reviews (as part of transitioning from single-process-owner dependency) to confirm calculation accuracy, documentation completeness, and adherence to contract-level standard work.

Operations Roles & Responsibilities

·  KPI ownership and operational performance management for the crediting operation, including cost avoidance dollars, delinquent backlog, timeliness, and quality/accuracy measures; drive action plans when performance gaps exist.
·  Own and standardize operational standard work for credit validation and credit calculation, ensuring consistent, scalable execution across the crediting “factory” and reducing variation and defects.
·  Define and manage requirements for next-generation tools/automation supporting discounting/rebates execution; partner with DT on design, testing (UAT), implementation, and adoption.
·  Lead cross-functional collaboration to standardize detection and correction of “double dip” scenarios (duplicate benefits/overlapping entitlements), ensuring controls, root cause follow-up, and prevention mechanisms are embedded into process and standard work.
·  Drive process improvements using Flight Deck principles to reduce waste, shorten cycle time, improve right-first-time quality, and create visual management/operating rhythms that sustain results.
·  Create a feedback loop to Commercial teams to improve contract templates and reduce recurring ambiguity, rework, and leakage risk; ensure learnings from disputes/audits are reflected in future contracting language.
·  Stakeholder leadership across the crediting value stream, aligning priorities, clearing blockers, and ensuring end-to-end execution from validation through accounting/issuance.
·  Own the team’s training and development plan, including identifying skill gaps, organizing training sessions, and tracking progress to ensure continuous capability growth across the team.

Required Qualifications

·  Bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university and 5+ years of services, finance, or operations experience. Master degree is preferred.

Desired Characteristics

·  Crediting/contract operations: Experience leading crediting, billing, pricing, or rebate operations with a solid understanding of services agreements, contracts, and related risks and controls.
·  Process builder: Proven ability to operate in unstructured environments, then design, document, and standardize processes for scale.
·  Data-driven : Comfortable working with large, complex datasets and analytics/BI tools to track performance and drive actions.
·  Change and digital readiness: Experience implementing new systems or tools, including requirements definition, testing, and change management.
·  Leadership & influence: Strong interpersonal, leadership, and project management skills, with the ability to influence across functions and cultures.
·  Continuous improvement mindset: Familiarity with FLIGHT DECK fundamentals and interest in applying them to office/transactional processes.
·  Success: in this role will be measured by accuracy and timeliness of credits, reduction in contract leakage, productivity/automation improvements, and customer satisfaction.
