- Identify and implement process improvements, including AI and automation tooling, to scale without proportional headcount
Pricing, Packaging & Billing
- Be a key finance partner in building a nimble pricing, packaging, and billing solution that lets us launch and change offers quickly without breaking the close
- Translate new pricing models and channel structures into scalable billing, revenue recognition, and reconciliation processes, working closely with Product, RevOps, and Systems teams
