About the role

We're looking for a Senior Manager, Revenue Recognition to join our team in Austin, TX and own the operational core of our revenue close — from period open to final posting in Zuora Revenue (RevPro).

Responsibilities

  • Lead the end-to-end monthly open and close process in **Zuora Revenue (RevPro)**, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and audit-readiness every cycle
  • Oversee the integration and posting of revenue-related journal entries into the GL, ensuring proper classification and completeness
  • Review and maintain key balance sheet reconciliations including deferred revenue, contract assets, and unbilled AR
  • Provide ad-hoc technical accounting analysis and ASC 606 guidance on complex transactions, contract modifications, and escalations
  • Serve as a senior mentor to the revenue accounting team — reviewing work, building skills, and maintaining a high standard of quality
  • Continuously improve revenue close procedures, internal controls, and documentation to keep the team compliant and audit-ready

Qualifications

  • You've owned a Zuora Revenue (RevPro) close end-to-end — including the moments when the period didn't want to close — and can speak to how you worked through it
  • You can navigate complex ASC 606 scenarios and translate the technical accounting conclusion into something a non-accountant can actually understand
  • You've untangled a deferred revenue, contract asset, or unbilled AR reconciliation that didn't tie, and you have a clear point of view on what good looks like
  • You know what a close looks like when it's running well — and you've had to rebuild one that wasn't
  • You can point to someone on a previous team who is better at their job because of you
  • You're comfortable operating across finance, accounting, and operations without needing a defined lane

Basic Qualifications

  • 7+ years of experience in revenue recognition or technical accounting, with a mix of Big 4 audit and operational industry experience
  • CPA required
  • Hands-on experience managing period close in **Zuora Revenue (RevPro)**
  • Strong working knowledge of **ASC 606**

Preferred Qualifications

  • SaaS industry experience
  • Experience with **NetSuite** or a comparable ERP
  • Prior experience managing or mentoring accounting staff

Pay

The US annualized base salary range for this position is $182,000.00-$272,000.00.

Schedule

This role must attend our local office for part of the week. The specific in-office schedule is to be determined by the hiring manager.
