Your Mission:

We’re looking for a Revenue Accounting Manager to raise the bar on revenue quality across our growing global business. You’ll own the most complex parts of our revenue close, strengthen the systems and data that ARR and revenue reporting rely on, and act as a multiplier within the revenue team.

Based in Sydney and reporting to our Senior Manager of Revenue Accounting, you’ll work alongside our Revenue Accountant and partner closely with Sales, Revenue Operations, Deal Desk, and the wider Finance team. You’ll handle the edge cases independently, improve the durability of revenue reporting through better controls, automation, and AI-augmented workflows, and help make our monthly close seamless even as the business scales.

Your Responsibilities:

• Own the monthly revenue close through to Xero, preparing revenue reporting with supporting analysis and audit-ready documentation.

• Ensure ARR reporting accuracy in Drivetrain by reconciling data across and resolving discrepancies.

• Independently resolve complex revenue recognition matters for non-standard contracts and new pricing, while maintaining internal controls and tax compliance.

• Improve the durability of revenue reporting through stronger QA and automation across core systems, leveraging AI-augmented workflows to reduce manual effort.

• Partner with Sales and RevOps to improve upstream data quality and communicate risks to senior management.

• Manage day-to-day correspondence, transaction reviews, and reporting reviews.

• Strong technical revenue judgement, including complex revenue recognition.

• Ownership and follow-through across end-to-end close and reporting.

• Systems and data fluency, with confidence reconciling data across multiple sources.

• Clear, confident communication with cross-functional partners and senior stakeholders.

• A multiplier mindset: improves processes, mentors others, and raises the bar.

• AI-forward: comfortable using automation and AI-augmented workflows to reduce manual effort.

• Employee share options

• Professional development budget and leave

• The opportunity to take part in our mentorship program

• Mental health resources

• Monthly telephone and/or internet allowance

• Paid primary & secondary parental leave policies

• Hybrid work arrangements and WFH equipment provided
