Our engineers and space scientists are on a mission to eliminate the connectivity gaps faced by today’s five billion mobile subscribers and finally bring broadband to the billions who remain unconnected.

Position Overview

We are seeking an experienced, hands-on Revenue Manager to own the execution and review of revenue accounting operations across our commercial equipment, government contract, and mobile network operator (MNO) service revenue streams. This role is central to ensuring compliance with ASC 606, managing the order-to-cash cycle, and building scalable, well-controlled revenue processes in a high-growth public company environment. The role reports to the Director of Revenue Accounting and will provide review and oversight of offshore accounting support staff as the team grows.

The ideal candidate combines strong technical revenue accounting knowledge with the operational versatility to work across multiple revenue streams, including milestone-based government contracts and equipment sales, and is comfortable operating in an environment where processes are still being formalized and improved.

• Prepare and review revenue and cost of sales journal entries, account reconciliations, and supporting workpapers, including deferred revenue and contract asset/liability balances
• Own month-end, quarter-end, and year-end revenue close processes, including variance analysis, reporting, and close calendar deliverables
• Execute milestone invoicing and billing for government contracts, maintain milestone and billing trackers, and coordinate with program and contract teams on invoice timing and acceptance
• Apply revenue recognition guidance under ASC 606 across multiple revenue models, including evaluation of performance obligations, over-time versus point-in-time recognition, and variable consideration
• Review and interpret customer contracts, including non-standard terms, to ensure proper accounting treatment under GAAP
• Review the work of offshore accounting staff supporting AR, cash application, and workpaper preparation, providing direction and quality control
• Partner cross-functionally with Sales Operations, Legal, FP&A, Supply Chain, and program teams to ensure alignment between contracts, fulfillment, billing, and revenue recognition
• Identify, document, and implement process improvements across the quote-to-cash cycle, including system-enabled automation of manual processes
• Support external audits and quarterly reviews, maintain SOX-compliant controls, and ensure adherence to GAAP and internal accounting policies

Preferred Qualifications:

• Strong working knowledge of ASC 606, including multi-element arrangements, over-time recognition, and variable consideration
• Experience with milestone-based contracts, government contracts, or government contract accounting systems (e.g., Deltek Costpoint) a plus
• Experience in telecommunications a plus
• Experience with accounting ERP systems (e.g., NetSuite, Oracle) and CRM (e.g., Salesforce)
• Experience with revenue automation tools (e.g., NetSuite ARM, Zuora) a plus
• Advanced Microsoft Excel skills
• Public accounting experience preferred

Soft Skills:

• Strong attention to detail and accuracy, with the judgment to know when to elevate
• Ability to operate independently and build structure where documented processes do not yet exist
• Effective analytical and problem-solving skills
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including comfort interacting with senior stakeholders and external auditors
