William Murphy

My desire and goal to succeed drives my ambition….. Over 8 years of experience in business operations, commercial + contract management, and financial reporting + analysis.

In my most recent position on a major commercial contract with WPP, I drove the;

• end-to-end process, from contract creation to invoicing
• pushed and motivated the delivery teams to generate revenue
• cultivated data analysis on changes to the baseline volumes
• managed and created global invoicing instructions

My work involves building close relationships and collaboration with all levels of seniority, both within the client organisation and internal stakeholders. I strongly believe the development and fostering of these relationships is at the heart of any successful business.

I have spearheaded innovative initiatives to;

• reduce delivery-to-invoice times
• mitigate project issues related to contract modifications
• enhance stakeholder relations

I am passionate about creating value for my clients by driving revenue for the company, and I thrive in dynamic and complex environments.
