The opportunity

EY’s Enterprise Risk – Process & Controls practice supports leading Technology, Media & Telecommunications (TMT) companies as they scale complex, platform-based business models within increasingly sophisticated finance and risk environments.

Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, this role focuses on risk transformation within finance and revenue ecosystems, supporting organizations with complex revenue models (subscription, usage-based, multi-element). As companies modernize systems, prepare for IPO, and scale operations, they require integrated approaches to risk, accounting, and system design.

We are seeking a Senior Manager to lead risk transformation across finance and revenue systems, embedding controls directly into processes and platforms. You will partner with CFOs, CAOs, Controllers, and Revenue Operations leaders to align technical accounting with scalable systems and governance, enabling growth with strong control environments.

• Lead and develop teams, ensuring high-quality delivery across workstreams
• Support development of scalable risk transformation solutions for TMT clients
• Lead SOX 404(b) readiness and ICFR design programs for pre-IPO and newly public TMT clients, including control scoping, rationalization, deficiency remediation, and coordination with external auditors

Skills and attributes for success

• Ability to operate at the intersection of accounting, RevOps, and risk transformation
• Strong executive presence and stakeholder management skills
• Experience designing control frameworks within finance systems, beyond traditional audit
• Track record leading complex transformation programs
• Ability to navigate high-growth, evolving environments
• Strong cross-functional leadership and delivery

To qualify for the role, you must have

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field, with 8+ years of experience in risk consulting, accounting advisory, or risk transformation within finance environments
• Experience leading SOX 404 compliance programs (Sections 302 and 404(b)), including ICFR scoping, control design and rationalization, and interaction with external auditors on audit reliance strategies
• Experience supporting Technology, Media, or Telecommunications (TMT) organizations
• Strong experience in revenue accounting (ASC 606) within complex environments
• Experience leading risk transformation across finance and revenue systems, including system implementations, process redesign, or IPO readiness
• Direct experience working with Revenue Operations (RevOps) and integrating accounting, systems, and processes
• Experience with ERP (e.g., NetSuite, SAP, Oracle) and revenue/billing platforms (e.g., Zuora, Salesforce CPQ/Billing, Stripe), including custom revenue systems
• Experience with data and reconciliation platforms (e.g., Snowflake, Databricks)
• Strong communication skills with executive-level client interaction
• Based in or willing to relocate to the San Francisco Bay Area, with hybrid expectations (2–3 days onsite); willing to travel ~50%, work extended hours as needed, and hold a valid passport
