Perhaps unusually we prefer a leader with deep personal interest in the software and technology industry, and ideally some data analytics and software engineering experience . The Revenue Accounting Manager will ensure the proper application of revenue accounting guidance for public market scrutiny. Ideally they will also be familiar with Systems Accounting and able to work effectively with technical teams and software engineers.

This is a management position which requires confidence in presentation, setting goals, and directing the work of others. We expect to grow a team focused on revenue, with a particular emphasis on systems and automation, that puts us at the top of the leaderboard for clarity, correctness, transparency and speed of reporting as a global tech company.
