Revenue Recognition Manager

Job Description

Who we’re looking for

Are you obsessed with getting revenue right, love a good reconciliation, and secretly get excited about spotting trends in deferred revenue subledgers? Do you geek out over ASC 606 and enjoy being part of bringing new products to life? If you’re ready to make an impact in a fast-paced SaaS environment where revenue meets innovation, you might be exactly who we’re looking for. We’re searching for a Revenue Recognition Manager to join our global team and own some of the most important pieces of our revenue puzzle. You’ll keep us accurate, audit-ready, and always ahead of the curve as we launch new products and scale our business.

What you’ll be doing
•Own processes, analytics, and reconciliations—ensuring we always know exactly where we stand.
•Master the month-end magic: Review and support monthly journal entries, reconciliations, and detailed revenue analysis.
•Bring products to market (yes, really): Collaborate with Product, Rev Ops, and Engineering teams to perform preliminary revenue analysis, guide configuration decisions, and test SKUs as they move through the release path.
•Spot trends and tell the story: Partner cross-functionally to provide insights into revenue drivers and help shape strategic decisions.
•Tighten controls & level-up processes: Continuously improve our revenue processes and documentation so we’re not just compliant, but best-in-class.

What you bring to the role
•Detail-obsessed with a big-picture brain: You love getting into the numbers but can explain them in plain English.
•Strong technical chops: Solid understanding of ASC 606 and SaaS revenue models.
•Comfort with systems: Bonus points if you’ve worked with Zuora Revenue (RevPro), NetSuite, or similar.
•Analytical & curious: You ask “why?” as much as “what?”
•Collaborative to the core: You’re just as comfortable working with product managers and engineers as with auditors.
• Experience: ~4–6 years in revenue recognition, accounting, or audit, with SaaS experience preferred.
