About the Role:
As the Senior Manager of Revenue Accounting, you will serve as a key leader within the Revenue Accounting team, responsible for ensuring the accurate recognition of revenue across an expanding portfolio of products and services. This role carries significant technical and operational scope, from evaluating the accounting implications of new product launches to overseeing month-end close, managing external auditor relationships, and building the scalable processes that shape our revenue ecosystem.
This role offers a genuine opportunity to help shape what modern accounting looks like. Our team is actively investing in AI and automation. We're building intelligent workflows that eliminate manual toil, accelerate our close cycle, and scale with the business, and the Senior Manager will be a key player in driving that work forward. If you're someone who gets energized by building something better, this is a great role for you!
This role calls for deep expertise in ASC 606 and Quote to Cash processes, strong project management instincts, and a natural ability to collaborate across product, sales, legal, and engineering. Just as important is how you lead, we're looking for someone who brings clarity to complexity, creates space for their team to thrive, and genuinely enjoys developing the people around them.
About the Team:
Our Revenue Accounting team is responsible for the accurate and timely recognition of revenue across the business. We're a collaborative, forward-thinking team committed to continuous improvement, and we actively leverage AI and automation to streamline how we work. We've built automated workflows across key areas of the revenue close and continue to expand that footprint as our product suite and business scale. As we grow and bring new products to market, this role will be central to shaping our revenue recognition practices and operationalizing what's next, driving that evolution forward while maintaining the accuracy and control environment that a business of our size demands.
