Who You Are

The role will report into our Revenue Operations team. This detail-oriented and highly analytical professional will build and maintain the spreadsheet-based models that power our accounts receivable and invoicing accuracy process. The Senior Business Operations Analyst will work hands-on in the data - using complex spreadsheet formulas, pivot tables, and automation tools to identify invoice discrepancies, reconcile billing errors, and ensure accurate, timely collections. While the core focus is on the accuracy and integrity of the underlying data, this role does involve some customer-facing interaction - including light, indirect negotiation to resolve billing discrepancies - along with regular exposure to Location Managers and leadership as part of partnering cross-functionally to resolve issues at the source.

This hybrid position is based in the corporate office in Redwood Shores, CA and requires 3 in-office days per week (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday). Only local candidates will be considered.
