About the Role

This is an individual contributor role with responsibility for leading technical revenue accounting assessments for assigned business lines, products, and transactions. You will partner with Business Development, Product, Sales, Legal, Finance, and operational accounting teams to evaluate proposed contract terms and product offerings, explain their accounting and financial statement implications, and help stakeholders assess alternatives.

You will apply US GAAP, particularly ASC 606, to complex transactions; document clear, well-supported accounting conclusions; and translate those conclusions into practical implementation requirements. This role offers exposure to a broad range of revenue streams and business initiatives and requires strong technical judgment, independent project ownership, and effective communication with business partners, accounting leadership, and external auditors.

You’re excited about this opportunity because you will…

• Document accounting conclusions. Prepare technical accounting memos and position papers that clearly explain relevant facts, applicable guidance, significant judgments, and conclusions.

• Support operational implementation. Translate accounting conclusions into requirements for billing, revenue recognition, financial reporting, and controls, partnering with operational accounting teams to support accurate execution.
• Strengthen policies, processes, and controls. Develop and maintain revenue accounting policies, guidance, and training materials, and identify opportunities to improve contract review processes and related controls.
