They’re comfortable with numbers and rules, they pick up concepts quickly and are good at keeping details straight. They find it really satisfying to design elegant, repeatable processes to meet messy operational requirements, they habitually write things down, and they’re good at teaching others.

• Creates efficient processes to accommodate new business requirements while minimizing additional workload
• Ensures operational processes are documented and followed by the CSE Operations team
• Acts as a CSE Operations liaison with Finance, Accounting, Sales Operations and other CSE functions to contribute to cross-functional efforts

Team Management

• Manages a team of CSE Operations Analysts; performs standard managerial administrative tasks in line with Rocket policies
• Ensures their team is meeting constituent needs and CSE operational tasks are completed correctly, on a timely basis
• Mentors and develops team members, providing feedback, seeking understanding of employee satisfaction and concerns, and taking appropriate follow up actions

Required Skills and Qualifications

• 5+ years experience in related positions
• 2+ years experience in a role with responsibility for billing and revenue recognition for Professional Services, Consulting or similar
• Demonstrated leadership skills across multi-disciplined teams
• Excellent time management and organizational skills, exceptional attention to detail
• Experience with reporting tools and database concepts, at a business 'super user' level
• Excellent interpersonal, relationship management, and written and verbal communication skills
• Committed to Rocket core values of empathy, humanity, trust and love

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Salesforce, Kantata SX/Kimble or Oracle ERP
• Experience with scaling Operational functions; including originating and documenting processes
• Experience implementing processes that support and maintain data integrity; understanding of the connection between processes and data
