• Build SOX-ready automated controls, maintain contract and billing data alignment with ASC 606 revenue requirements, and prepare the function for global e-invoicing and indirect tax mandates

• Drive cross-functional adoption and alignment across Sales Ops, Deal Desk, Revenue Accounting, Tax, IT, Order Processing, and Revenue Operations teams

• You are a high-trust collaborator who is ambitious for the team, actively giving and receiving candid, respectful feedback to earn trust and accelerate performance.

• You possess a true growth mindset and a passion for continuous development, actively seeking feedback to elevate your impact and support your teammates.

• You bring positive, constructive energy to complex challenges, inspiring your team with a 'can-do' attitude focused on practical solutions.

• You operate with urgency and a relentless focus on execution, delivering high-impact results quickly in a fast-paced environment.x
