## Description

Own the end-to-end processing of event-related expenditure in Workday - from pre-approved conference budgets through supplier invoices, staff expense reports, corporate card reconciliation, and post-event close-out. Event spend is high-volume, deadline-driven, and heavily scrutinized: costs arrive in bursts around event dates, frequently in foreign currency, and often carry hospitality and gifting implications. Because most conferences require an approved budget before any commitment is made, this role sits at both ends of the cycle - validating that spend was authorized up front, then ensuring it is correctly evidenced, coded, taxed, and paid., * Pre-approval and budget control

 * Core processing in Workday
 * Control and compliance, * No material event spend committed without a pre-approved budget and a traceable authorisation in Workday.
 * Event invoices and expense reports processed within agreed SLA, with no backlog through peak conference season.
 * Every completed event closed with a clean approved-budget-vs-actual position and variance commentary.
 * Hospitality documentation complete and audit-ready without retrospective chasing.
 * Measurable reduction in policy exceptions, late expense report submission and unapproved commitments from event teams.
