You will also lead, motivate, and develop a high-performing team while fostering a culture of strong technical acumen and a continuous improvement mindset.

  • Structure and influence complex revenue deals in partnership with Sales, Deal Desk, and FP&A to achieve optimal revenue outcomes and speed-to-close; serve as an escalation point for complex arrangements (SaaS, on‑prem / term licenses, consumption, multi-element bundles, modifications / renewals, variable consideration, etc.).
  • Build, motivate, and grow a high-performing team , continuing to develop technical acumen and fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement; coach, hire, and develop talent.
  • Partner across the product lifecycle with Product Management, Engineering, and GTM on pricing / packaging, new product introductions, or new monetization initiatives to assess revenue recognition impacts, operational scalability, and business risk—and influence decisions that balance growth and compliance.
  • Lead auditor engagement , ensuring policies are consistently applied, emerging topics are addressed proactively, and SOX‑compliant controls.
  • What You Will Bring

  • BS in Finance or Accounting; CPA and Big 4 experience required
  • 10 years of progressive experience at either a Big 4 public accounting firm or a global, publicly traded high-tech organization with a minimum of 3 years in a technical revenue role

  • Strategic thinker with strong leadership skills and the ability to prioritize multiple projects in a fast‑paced, high‑growth environment
  • Proven ability to lead change and inspire others.
  • Excellent interpersonal skills (oral and written) and the ability to communicate effectively with all levels at the company
  • Usage‑based SaaS contract experience a strong plus
  • Ready to build what's next? Let’s get in motion.
