You are a technically strong revenue accounting professional who thrives in ambiguity and enjoys building scalable processes from the ground up. You bring deep expertise in ASC 606 / IFRS 15 and are energized by the challenge of operationalizing new products, markets, and acquisitions in a fast-paced environment. You're equal parts hands-on executor and strategic thinker — comfortable leading the revenue close one day and shaping policy the next.

This role is a foundational member of our international revenue accounting team — an exciting opportunity to make an outsized impact.

• Lead and execute revenue-related month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close activities, ensuring accuracy and timeliness;
• Partner with system teams to enhance revenue system utilization (NetSuite ARM), improving process efficiency and revenue accuracy;
• Identify bottlenecks, manual work, and automation opportunities across the revenue recognition and close process to drive continuous improvement;
• Collaborate with revenue operations, pricing, and product teams to conduct Standalone Selling Price (SSP) studies;
• Participate in M&A revenue-related integration to ensure smooth revenue process transitions as needed;
• Update revenue policies and position papers to reflect evolving business models, new products, and regulatory guidance;
• Assist with the external audit process and participate in and/or lead ad hoc projects with cross-functional impacts.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field; CPA designation preferred;
• 6+ years of progressive revenue accounting experience, ideally in SaaS, subscription, or marketplace environments;
• Strong technical revenue accounting skills, including deep understanding of IFRS 15 / ASC 606 revenue recognition standards;
• Proficiency in NetSuite ARM (Advanced Revenue Management) system;
• Experience with M&A revenue integration or purchase accounting is a plus;
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills with a track record of identifying and implementing process improvements;
• Strong attention to detail and accuracy;
• Ability to communicate complex technical accounting concepts to cross-functional, non-finance stakeholders.
