This individual-contributor director ensures that commercial and delivery activity is translated into accurate billing, revenue recognition, forecasting, reporting, and audit support. The role partners closely with Revenue Operations, Professional Services Operations, Sales, Legal, and Finance to create clear processes, controls, and accountability across the revenue lifecycle. Operating in a lean SaaS environment, this leader is expected to use enterprise-approved ChatGPT, Codex, workflow automation, and data tools to improve speed, quality, scalability, and decision support while preserving human judgment, confidentiality, auditability, and internal control.

       Maintain revenue schedules, deferred revenue balances, contract assets, contract liabilities, and supporting reconciliations.

Billing Governance and Revenue Integrity

       Partner with Revenue Operations on subscription and support billing and with Professional Services Operations on project billing inputs and milestones.

       Validate that billing activity is supported by executed agreements, approved pricing, delivery milestones, and appropriate documentation.

       Monitor billing exceptions, credits, adjustments, delayed invoices, and other items affecting revenue or cash flow.

       Reconcile bookings, billings, backlog, deferred revenue, and recognized revenue on a consistent cadence.

       Reduce billing errors, revenue leakage, and manual rework through stronger processes and controls.

Forecasting and Financial Planning

       Own the revenue forecast in partnership with the CFO and business leaders.

       Develop forecasts for subscription, support, and professional services revenue.

       Maintain visibility into backlog, deferred revenue, contracted revenue, project delivery, and billing schedules.

       Analyze actual results against forecast and explain material variances, risks, and opportunities.

       Support company planning and scenario analysis using Datarails or other FP&A tools.

Pricing and Commercial Finance

       Own financial governance of professional services list rates and rate-card methodology.

       Evaluate the financial impact of pricing changes, discounts, payment terms, contract structures, and commercial exceptions.

       Provide Finance guidance for non-standard arrangements that create accounting, margin, cash-flow, or revenue-recognition risk.

       Partner with Revenue Operations on discounting policies and approval thresholds.

       Support pricing, margin improvement, and revenue predictability through financial analysis.

       Vendor and Finance Operations

       Support or lead vendor contract negotiations from a financial and commercial perspective.

       Evaluate vendor pricing, payment terms, renewal provisions, and financial commitments.

       Identify cost-saving, contract-consolidation, and process-improvement opportunities.

       Support Finance initiatives involving documentation, reporting automation, systems, and data governance.

Systems, Data, and Reporting

       Serve as the Finance business owner for revenue-related requirements within Certinia, Salesforce, PSA, Datarails, and reporting platforms.

       Partner with system owners to ensure appropriate configuration, data quality, access controls, and financial reporting.

       Define Finance requirements for integrations among Salesforce, Certinia, ERP, PSA, Datarails, and related tools.

       Develop standardized reporting for revenue, billing, backlog, deferred revenue, project delivery, and forecast performance.

       Reduce reliance on manual spreadsheets and improve the reliability and scalability of financial processes.

AI-Enabled Finance Operations and Workflow Automation

       Use enterprise-approved ChatGPT, Codex, and comparable AI tools to accelerate reconciliation research, variance analysis, contract-term extraction, forecast commentary, policy drafting, audit preparation, and process documentation.

       Identify, prioritize, and implement automation opportunities across quote-to-cash, billing, revenue recognition, financial close, forecasting, reporting, vendor management, and cross-functional approvals.

       Use Codex or a comparable AI coding assistant to create, review, and test lightweight SQL or Python scripts, data transformations, exception checks, and API-enabled workflows; coordinate production deployment with system owners and IT.

       Measure automation outcomes through cycle-time reduction, hours saved, error reduction, control performance, forecast accuracy, and user adoption.

Controls, Compliance, and Audit

       Design, document, and maintain internal controls across revenue recognition, billing governance, forecasting, and reporting.

       Ensure appropriate segregation of duties among Revenue Operations, Professional Services Operations, Accounting, and Finance.

       Serve as the primary owner for revenue-related audit requests, support, and documentation.

       Identify control or process gaps and lead remediation efforts.

Cross-Functional Leadership

       Build trusted partnerships with the CFO, CSO, SVP Professional Services, Sales, Customer Success, Legal, and other business leaders.

       Establish clear operating handoffs among Finance, Revenue Operations, and Professional Services Operations.
