As the GBS OTC Trade Spend Management Analyst, you will manage the end-to-end lifecycle of trade promotion claims - validating submissions against approved contracts and price conditions, reconciling and truing-up promotion accruals, and ensuring timely, compliant settlement. Partnering with Sales, Customer Service, and Finance, you will safeguard working capital by reducing leakage from invalid or noncompliant claims, strengthening audit trails, and standardizing ways of working across markets. You will leverage SAP, Vistex and/or HighRadius trade modules to prioritize worklists, enable rule-based matching, and improve automation while maintaining accurate, audit ready records.

- Prepare and post credit/debit notes and settlements; attach supporting documentation to maintain compliance and audit readiness.
- Use SAP/Vistex/HighRadius worklists to prioritize and automate matching; propose rule enhancements (e.g., probability-based matching, standardized reason codes) to reduce manual effort.
- Track and report KPIs (e.g., claim cycle time, aged claims, accrual accuracy, write off and recovery rates); flag risks and improvement opportunities.
- Contribute to upstream fixes and standardization (TPM policy, contract data quality, price condition governance) to prevent recurring issues and leakage across markets
The experience we're looking for
- Experience in trade spend, TPM, rebates, or deductions within a shared services or process driven organization
