- Project manage the implementation of our new revenue recognition system, working closely with the vendor, technology, and other stakeholders.
- Develop and maintain revenue recognition policies and procedures related to new products and systems.
- Collaborate with product, engineering, sales, and legal teams to understand new product offerings and their revenue implications.
- Drive and manage other key revenue-related projects aimed at improving efficiency, accuracy, and compliance through the use of AI and other automation tools.
- Partner with technology & engineering to ensure data integrity and seamless flow of information between billing, the new revenue recognition system, and our ERP.

- Experience in a public company environment with a focus on automation and systems.
- Proven experience in leading revenue accounting efforts for new products.
