Position Summary We are seeking a detail-oriented Freight Audit & Payment Analyst to review, audit, and process transportation, warehousing, and logistics-related invoices supporting a large-scale solar manufacturing operation. This high-volume role validates invoices against contracted rates, tariffs, and service agreements before payment; identifies and resolves billing discrepancies with carriers and vendors; and supports logistics spend reporting.

Invoice Review & Approval Review and process a high weekly volume of invoices covering ocean freight, drayage, air freight, domestic trucking, shuttle operations, and 3PL warehousing services. Validate freight charges against contracted rates, tariffs, fuel surcharge schedules, and negotiated pricing agreements prior to approval. Audit detention, demurrage, per diem, chassis, storage, labor, and other accessorial charges for accuracy and contractual validity. Verify invoice support documentation, including proof of delivery, rate confirmations, container and BOL numbers, and accessorial backup. Work an exception-based audit queue, prioritizing high-dollar, aged, and out-of-tolerance invoices while meeting approval cycle-time standards.

Maintain accurate cost coding by lane, mode, vendor, and business unit to support landed-cost analysis. Provide spend data and audit findings to support carrier rate negotiations and contract renewals as requested. The T1 Way We move fast, expect accountability, and treat people with respect.
