About Us

Sophos is a global leader and innovator of advanced security solutions for defeating cyberattacks. The company acquired Secureworks in February 2025, bringing together two pioneers that have redefined the cybersecurity industry with their innovative, native AI-optimized services, technologies and products. Sophos is now the largest pure-play Managed Detection and Response (MDR) provider, supporting more than 28,000 organizations. In addition to MDR and other services, Sophos’ complete portfolio includes industry-leading endpoint, network, email, and cloud security that interoperate and adapt to defend through the Sophos Central platform. Secureworks provides the innovative, market-leading Taegis XDR/MDR, identity threat detection and response (ITDR), next-gen SIEM capabilities, managed risk, and a comprehensive set of advisory services. Sophos sells all these solutions through reseller partners, Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) worldwide, defending more than 600,000 organizations worldwide from phishing, ransomware, data theft, other every day and state-sponsored cybercrimes. The solutions are powered by historical and real-time threat intelligence from Sophos X-Ops and the newly added Counter Threat Unit (CTU). Sophos is headquartered in Oxford, U.K. More information is available at www.sophos.com.

This newly created role is a critical one and has been raised to provide key support for the Revenue team on the various projects that they are involved with, primarily the integration project following a recent acquisition. One of the key aspects to this will be understanding and working with Zuora Revenue, the Revenue automation software implemented as part of Sophos’ recent major transformation project for the Order to Cash process, and a PowerBI based reporting solution.

This critical role is best suited to a qualified accountant who has significant experience and an interest in how accounting systems work. They should have experience of the Zuora Revenue system (or similar) and have a knack at speaking to both accountants, as well as IT, data and especially project teams. This individual will be a critical support for both the technical and accounting functions and will break down language barriers between teams. The individual should have a keen interest in understanding end-to-end transaction flows and transformation in a diversified systems stack.

The candidate should have excellent communication skills and be able to interact with a broad range of colleagues across multiple departments, preferably they will have experience on medium to large scale projects.

Sophos strives to be best in class in our technical solutions, so this role will play a key part in driving technical system integrations and improvements whilst remaining Revenue Recognition compliant.

The successful candidate will be someone who can speak on technical IT systems as well as technical accounting language and will likely be a bit of a spreadsheet/Power BI guru.

This role will be reporting to the Director of Revenue Operations, and will work closely with the Senior Revenue Systems Accountant
