Your Opportunity:

This is a rare chance to define a newly created role within New Relic’s growing finance function. Because this position is incremental, you won’t just be filling someone else’s shoes; you will be carving out your own path and shaping the future of the department.

You will step immediately into a leadership position, inheriting a capable team of three Revenue Accountants. Reporting directly to the Senior Director of Revenue and Order to Cash, you will have access to high-level mentorship while retaining the autonomy to run your team your way. We offer a hybrid working model (2 days in our San Francisco hub), giving you the perfect balance of face-to-face collaboration and the flexibility of working from home.

What You'll Do:

• Lead and Mentor: You will manage and develop a team of three Revenue Accountants, supporting their growth while overseeing the month-end accounting close process.

• Innovate and Automate: You will identify and drive process improvements, using better resources to automate workflows and accelerate the revenue close timeline.

• Shape Policy: You will operationalise and scale accounting policies in accordance with ASC 606, acting as the primary guide on non-standard revenue contracts.

• Collaborate Cross-Functionally: You will partner closely with Billing, Deal Desk, and Sales teams to deliver reporting packages that provide critical business insights.

• Ensure Excellence: You will create and maintain robust SOX documentation and manage disclosure requirements, ensuring the organisation remains audit-ready.

This Role Requires:

• Leadership Potential: You are ready to manage a team (or have done so previously) and can balance operational tasks with people development.

• Experience & Expertise: You bring substantial experience (approx. 9+ years) combining public company exposure with a background in Big 4 audit or advisory practices.

• Technical Mastery: You possess a CPA and a deep understanding of US GAAP, specifically ASC 606 and the Order to Cash process.

• Operational Resilience: You are comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-growth environment and have significant experience with SOX controls.

Bonus Points:

• Sector Knowledge: Experience within the SaaS industry or familiarity with consumption-based revenue models is highly desirable.

• Tech Savvy: Familiarity with platforms such as Zuora, Salesforce CPQ, and Net Suite will give you a distinct advantage.

Please note that visa sponsorship is not available for this position.
