Technical Revenue:

- Evaluate new and evolving products, pricing models, and commercial arrangements to determine revenue recognition implications.
- Exercise independent judgment in analyzing complex or novel transactions, develop well-supported accounting conclusions, and escalate significant or highly judgmental matters as appropriate.
- Support the development, documentation, and consistent application of revenue recognition policies and accounting positions.
Deal Desk, Sales, and Customer Success Management Support:
- Partner closely with Deal Desk, Sales, Legal, Finance, Order Management, and other cross-functional teams to provide revenue recognition guidance throughout the contracting process.
- Review proposed deal structures, contract terms, and non-standard provisions prior to execution, identify potential accounting implications, and recommend solutions that balance business objectives with revenue recognition requirements.
- Serve as a technical revenue resource to business partners, clearly communicating complex accounting concepts and helping stakeholders understand the revenue implications of proposed arrangements.
- Support timely resolution of complex and urgent deal-related questions in a fast-paced environment with changing priorities.
Policy, Projects & Compliance
- Assist with the development and delivery of ASC 606 policies, guidance, tools, and training for Revenue and cross-functional stakeholders.
- Participate in strategic and ad hoc initiatives, including new product launches, new pricing and consumption models, acquisitions, process improvements, and other evolving business needs.
- Prepare and maintain appropriate documentation supporting significant revenue accounting conclusions, internal controls, and external audit requirements.
- Partner with Revenue Operations and other teams on system or process changes where technical revenue accounting requirements or conclusions need to be incorporated into implementation.
- Translate technical accounting conclusions into practical guidance and process documentation to support consistent application of Company policy across the business.
- Support external audit requests and quarterly reviews by preparing documentation and explaining the accounting conclusions underlying complex transactions.
