Position Summary
Idera is seeking a Global Accounts Receivable Manager to lead collections strategy and execution across a global portfolio of software businesses. This role is responsible for improving cash collections, reducing delinquency, strengthening end-to-end accounts receivable operations, and driving consistency across processes, systems, and controls throughout the order-to-cash cycle. The ideal candidate is a hands-on leader with strong business-to-business software collections experience, sound business judgment, the creativity to devise practical solutions to problems that don't come with a playbook, and the ability to operate effectively in a multi-entity environment. Reporting to the Vice President of Accounting, this person will partner closely with Billing, Sales, Customer Success, Revenue Operations, Legal, Treasury, and business-unit leadership to resolve disputes, improve processes, support scalable growth, and enhance the customer payment experience. The role requires strong Microsoft Excel skills to analyze aging, identify trends, reconcile activity, and provide actionable insights to leadership.
What You’ll Do
• Lead day-to-day collections operations across a portfolio of domestic and international customer
accounts, while partnering across teams that support billing, cash application, credits, and receivables
reconciliations.
• Develop and execute collection strategies that improve cash flow, reduce past-due balances, and
support company DSO and bad debt objectives.
• Monitor AR aging, delinquency trends, unapplied cash, deductions, dispute activity, and payment
behavior; prioritize collection efforts based on risk, customer profile, and materiality.
• Partner with Sales, Customer Success, Billing, Revenue Operations, and Legal to resolve invoice
disputes, short pays, contract interpretation issues, billing discrepancies, and other barriers to collection
to resolve escalations and improve upstream processes that affect collectability.
• Serve as an escalation point for complex or high-value customer accounts and drive timely resolution
while maintaining strong business relationships.
• Support strong billing-to-cash execution by helping ensure invoices, credits, refunds, amendments,
and customer account maintenance are handled accurately and in alignment with contracts, ERP
records, and billing platforms.
• Establish and maintain collection policies, workflows, escalation paths, SOPs, and operating
procedures that support a scalable and consistent process across business units.
• Prepare recurring and ad hoc reporting on AR aging, collections performance, cash collections,
dispute trends, bad debt exposure, and portfolio health; provide KPI and forecast visibility to Finance
leadership.
• Lead and develop the accounts receivable team through hiring, training, motivating, evaluating, and
supervising, including structured coaching, individual development plans, and performance
documentation that build bench strength for future growth.
• Identify opportunities to automate, simplify, and improve collections, cash application, dispute
management, and reporting workflows. Actively evaluate and adopt AI-enabled tools to strengthen
decision-making, surface risk earlier, and increase team productivity.
• Support credit risk assessment for new and existing accounts, including credit checks and credit limit
recommendations, in partnership with Sales and Finance leadership.
• Support monthly and quarterly close activities related to accounts receivable, reserves,
reconciliations, subledger accuracy, and reporting.
• Ensure accurate account documentation, customer follow-up history, and audit-ready support within
ERP, CRM, ticketing, and billing systems.
Basic Qualifications

practical experience.
• 7+ years of progressive experience in accounts receivable, billing, collections, or order-to-cash

business-to-business environment.
• Experience in a software, SaaS, or technology-driven company.
• Strong understanding of end-to-end AR operations, including billing, collections, cash application,
credits, reconciliations, and dispute resolution.
• Strong understanding of collections strategy, AR aging, customer account risk, and general
accounting fundamentals.
• Experience partnering cross-functionally with Sales, Customer Success, Billing, Revenue Operations,
and other business stakeholders.
• Experience preparing AR reporting, KPI metrics, cash collection insights, and executive-ready
presentations.
• Strong written and verbal communication and negotiation skills, including the ability to manage
customer conversations professionally and handle escalations effectively.
• Strong analytical and organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced
environment with a proven ability to multitask across competing deadlines without losing accuracy or
attention to detail.
• Experience with ERP, billing, and CRM platforms such as NetSuite, Intacct, Microsoft
Dynamics/Great Plains, Salesforce, Chargebee, Zuora, or similar systems.
Preferred Qualifications
• Experience in a global, multi-entity software organization supporting multiple business units or
acquired businesses.
• Experience with recurring revenue models, including subscription, maintenance, license, services,
and/or usage-based billing.
• Experience with billing platform ownership, implementation, or process enhancement in a scaling
software environment.
• Experience with AR automation, collections tooling, workflow optimization, or broader finance
transformation initiatives.
• Experience with credit review, payment-term management, and escalation frameworks for high-risk
accounts.
• Experience managing offshore, distributed, or shared-services resources.
• Strong systems aptitude and comfort navigating ERP, CRM, billing, ticketing, and reporting tools in a
high-volume environment.
• Comfort adopting AI-enabled tools and automation as a core part of daily collections, reporting, and
productivity workflows.
• Accounting degree or other relevant professional certification is a plus.

What Success Looks Like
