Experience operating in both startup/growth-stage and larger-scale environments preferred, with a track record of building accounting organizations and processes through significant growth. Ability to develop strong cross-functional partnerships with stakeholders across the finance org and broader business. Strong technical accounting expertise, including meaningful revenue recognition experience within enterprise software, SaaS, consumption-based revenue, and professional services, as well as stock-based comp.

Experience implementing or meaningfully optimizing ERP and finance systems; NetSuite experience preferred. Public-company and/or IPO-readiness experience preferred. International accounting and consolidation experience preferred. Exposure to government contracting or other complex/regulated customer environments is a plus. Big 4 experience and CPA strongly preferred. Demonstrated ability to build and scale a high-performance accounting team and strong team culture. Willing to work in our San Francisco office 4x/week.
