Competencies and Behaviors that Support Success in this Role
The Department/Team
We are a hard-working, fun-loving team. The department manager currently oversees six accounting staff: five full-time billing specialists and one full-time accounts payable specialist. All team members are functionally cross-trained, and each is generally responsible for training the other. Our monthly work-flow ebbs and flows with respect to how busy the practices we serve are. Different practices are busier at different times of the year, but it is usually the middle-to-end of the month when this team is busiest. Collaboration between team members plays an important role in the success of the department. Certain workflows have more interdependence on the team than others, but otherwise, collaboration ensures we can retain flexible scheduling, while also ensuring business continuity.
We are a part of the operational team that supports our office. We partner with the Human Resources and Facilities teams to accomplish things like employee on-boarding, policy drafting and enforcement, and other practice-specific tasks. The total team has occasional virtual social events and enjoys camaraderie when working side-by-side on office wide initiatives.
Within Milliman, our particular work group is a shared-services team. We are responsible for supporting five practices (aka business units). Primarily, this team handles invoice generation, review of cash application, fixed asset management, processing vendor invoices, and expense reports.
This work group is not client facing, but focused on serving and managing the client-facing professional consultants within the practices we serve. Professional consultants own the client relationships, but we help manage the details with respect to billing, ensuring contract compliance and application of special bill rates, managing the unbilled inventory, and serving as advisors to consultants for inventory management.
Salary: The salary range is $46,000 to $96,000, depending on a combination of factors, including but not limited to education, relevant work experience, qualifications, skills, certifications, location, etc.
If overall experience is less than 5 years the range would be $46,000 to $87,000; for experience of greater than 5 years, the range would be $50,000 to $96,000.
Location: It is preferred that candidates work on-site at Milwaukee, WI office. Remote candidates will be considered.
