Join our team as the Sr. Manager, Revenue Accounting Operations (Professional Services & Bookings), where you will lead the day-to-day execution and scaling of our professional services revenue operations, ensure consistent compliance with ASC 606, and drive the continued optimization of our contract to cash processes.

In this role, you will oversee the accounting operations for complex professional services customer contracts, champion system automation and data integrity across our financial tech stack, and serve as a trusted business partner to cross-functional GTM teams.

Central to this role is leading, scaling, and mentoring a high-performing, geographically distributed team. You will be responsible for fostering a collaborative, continuous-improvement culture across global time zones, ensuring operational alignment and professional development.

You will play a critical role in managing the month-end close cycle, strengthening internal controls, supporting audits, and identifying opportunities to improve systems, data flows, and reporting as the company grows. You will also own the operational reporting for corporate bookings, including related commissions-driven adjustments.

This is a highly visible, operationally intensive role that requires strong business judgment, leadership, and the ability to balance hands-on execution with strategic process design.

Cross-Functional GTM Partnership: Partner closely with Go-To-Market teams—including Professional Services, Deal Desk, Order Management, Legal, and FP&A—to support deal structuring, resolve billing and downstream revenue issues, and improve Contract-to-Cash velocity.

Special Projects Leadership: Lead and contribute to revenue-related special projects, including new product rollouts, CRM/ERP upgrades, policy rollouts, and GTM-led transformation efforts.
Audit Readiness: Manage and support external audit activities related to revenue operations and contract-to-cash, serving as a key point of contact to ensure timely, data-backed, and accurate responses.
Team Mentorship & Growth: Coach and mentor revenue accounting team members, supporting skill development, knowledge sharing, and consistent execution of operational best practices.
