Benchling is looking for a Revenue Accountant Manager to own key areas of our revenue accounting and Order to Cash functions in a high-growth SaaS environment.

Own the allowance for credit losses from methodology through audit deliverable, partnering with Collections and Sales on customer risk, and own supporting memo.
Perform technical analysis for contract modifications, under ASC 606, and lead SSP analyses and complex revenue arrangement memos.
Lead or assist in AI and usage-based product initiatives - establish revenue recognition positions for consumption-based arrangements and build the tracking/reporting process for AI partnership fees.
Own professional services revenue (fixed-fee, T&M) end to end, and drive process optimization across PS revenue with Services Operations.
Prepare materials and present financial results in quarterly close presentations.
