About This Role

As Manager of Billing & Revenue Operations, you will own the end-to-end billing and revenue recognition process for a fast-growing SaaS company. This role is critical to ensuring financial accuracy, scalability, and compliance with ASC 606, directly impacting Recorded Future's ability to scale efficiently.

💡 A Day in the Life

You'll start by reviewing the team's workload and any escalations from the billing queue, then dive into month-end close activities like reconciling deferred revenue and reviewing ASC 606 contract analyses. Midday, you might lead a cross-functional meeting with Sales Ops to align on contract terms, then spend the afternoon coaching a team member on process improvements or testing a new automation in NetSuite.

🎯 Who Recordedfuture Is Looking For

  • Has 7+ years in billing/revenue operations within SaaS, with hands-on NetSuite and Salesforce expertise.
  • Proven track record of leading and developing teams (3+ years management), fostering accountability and continuous improvement.
  • Deep understanding of ASC 606 revenue recognition and Order-to-Cash workflows, with experience automating processes.
  • Analytical and process-oriented, with a passion for leveraging AI and automation to drive efficiency.

4

Tailor your resume to include keywords like 'billing operations,' 'revenue accounting,' 'Order to Cash,' and 'process optimization.'

5

Mention any experience with AI tools or automation platforms like Celonis, UiPath, or similar, as Recorded Future values innovation.

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Avoid vague claims like 'improved efficiency' without specific metrics (e.g., 'reduced billing cycle by 30%').
  • Don't neglect to mention your experience with remote team management, as this is a remote-first role.
