- 5+ years of people management experience in a finance or accounting environment, including coaching, feedback, prioritization, performance support, career development, and team development.
- Demonstrated ability to improve budgeting, forecasting, management reporting, and financial data visualization and translate complex information into clear insights and recommendations for non-finance leaders.
- Substantive experience with subscription, SaaS, digital-product, enterprise, or comparable technology-based revenue models.
- Experience supporting partner-led commercial arrangements, such as reseller, licensing, wholesale, or revenue-sharing models, including evaluating financial terms and developing or overseeing the related reporting, reconciliation, controls, and revenue-recognition processes.
- Working knowledge of merchant-of-record arrangements, payment platforms, indirect tax, and international VAT/GST requirements.
- Experience supporting an internationally distributed organization and coordinating financial obligations across multiple jurisdictions.
