  8. Deliver timely, accurate reporting on revenue, cash, deferred revenue, and other key order-to-cash metrics to leadership and cross-functional partners

  • Proven ability to design and enforce internal controls across the order-to-cash cycle
  • Strong leadership track record, with experience managing and mentoring teams and driving cross-functional initiatives
  • Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills, with the ability to distill complex revenue issues into clear insights for executives
  • Experience in a high-growth SaaS or technology company, including exposure to subscription models, usage-based billing, and international revenue considerations
