What you will do

Lighthouse is seeking a detail-oriented, proactive Finance & Client Operations Partner to support complex customer billing and subscription operations with a strong focus on accuracy, escalation management, and continuous improvement. This role is ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of finance, client operations, and cross-functional collaboration — and who knows how to keep high-impact processes running smoothly while delivering a strong customer experience.

You will manage complex customer accounts, process nuanced sales contracts, customize invoicing based on customer needs, and serve as a key point of contact for escalations. Along the way, you will help optimize billing workflows through automation-minded thinking and structured collaboration with internal stakeholders.

Where you will have impact

Customer Account & Subscription Management

• Oversee and maintain complex customer accounts and subscriptions, ensuring records are accurate, current, and aligned with contractual requirements.
• Manage updates across billing-related workflows with a high level of precision, especially in cases involving non-standard structures or customer-specific needs.
• Act as a trusted operational partner in resolving account issues efficiently while maintaining a strong customer-centric mindset — making calls independently when the situation demands it.
• Help ensure financial operations support both internal accuracy and external satisfaction.
• Process complex sales contracts and deals in accordance with established policies, timelines, and internal controls.
• Review deal details carefully and coordinate proactively with Account Managers and relevant stakeholders to clarify requirements before execution.
• Customize invoices to reflect customer preferences and agreed-upon billing structures where applicable.
• Anticipate billing risks or inconsistencies early and take action to prevent downstream issues — using good judgment to move forward even when information is incomplete.

Escalation Ownership & Operational Improvement

• Serve as the primary point of contact for complex billing issues and escalations, driving timely resolution and clear communication across stakeholders.
• Prioritize tasks and decisions based on business impact, balancing urgency, accuracy, and customer experience — deciding independently when clear direction isn’t available.
• Partner cross-functionally to identify opportunities for process enhancement, standardization, and automation within billing and finance operations.
• Provide structured recommendations that reduce manual effort and improve efficiency over time.
• Support onboarding of new team members by sharing knowledge, offering guidance on complex cases, and acting as a go-to resource within the team.

Who you are

• Hands-on experience with our tech stack:Salesforce, NetSuite, Upflow, Gainsight, and Google Suite.
• Excellent organizational skills, with the ability to manage detail-heavy work and prioritize effectively based on business impact.
• Confidence working within defined processes, rules, and timelines while also identifying opportunities to improve them.
