Senior Manager, Strategic Finance

Job description

You bring 10+ years of progressive finance experience in FP&A, Strategic Finance, or revenue operations, with deep, hands-on knowledge of quote-to-cash and procure-to-pay processes. You've built workflows before, not just operated within them, and you have an understanding of ASC 606 revenue recognition in milestone or contract-based environments.

Job responsibilities

  • Build revenue forecasting models that connect pipeline to recognized revenue with appropriate consideration for contract type, milestone, and performance obligation structure
  • Establish controls and system workflows that reduce manual handoffs and create an auditable trail from opportunity to cash receipt
  • Design and implement (in collaboration with our Procurement team) a scalable procure-to-pay process: requisition, purchase order, vendor onboarding, invoice processing, and payment
  • Partner with Legal, Accounting, and business owners to implement and ensure adherence to a tiered approval framework commensurate with spend risk
  • Build the operating expense forecasting and accrual processes that give FP&A reliable visibility into committed and incurred spend
  • Support the implementation of financial planning tools and systems in partnership with Finance and IT
  • Create the monthly/quarterly operating cadence: actuals reviews, variance analysis, and re-forecast processes for assigned functions within the organization
  • Support the build and delivery of the annual operating plan and budget

Job requirements

  • 10+ years of progressive finance experience in FP&A, Strategic Finance, revenue operations, or finance business partner roles
  • Deep understanding of quote-to-cash and procure-to-pay processes
  • Hands-on builder: has designed and implemented processes and models from scratch
  • Familiarity with ASC 606 revenue recognition, particularly in a milestone- or contract-based environment
  • BA/BS in Accounting, Finance, or related field required
