• 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.

• 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;
