We are implementing a new billing system that must accurately calculate, recognize, and report revenue into SAP.
We are looking for a senior/architect-level resource with deep expertise in revenue recognition and finance reporting to design and govern the revenue architecture for this program. This role sits at the intersection of Finance and IT, ensuring the new billing platform is built to produce revenue outcomes that are accurate, auditable, and compliant with accounting standards, and that data flows correctly and reconciles cleanly into SAP.
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead the end-to-end architecture and design of revenue recognition logic within the new billing system, including deferred revenue, contract modifications, and multiple performance obligations.
- Define the integration architecture between the billing system and SAP (FI/CO, Revenue Accounting and Reporting, and/or BRIM), covering data flow, timing, and reconciliation.
- Translate ASC 606 / IFRS 15 revenue recognition requirements into functional and technical design specifications.
- Partner with Finance, Accounting, Controllership,
and IT teams to validate revenue treatment across billing scenarios (new contracts, amendments, cancellations, usage-based charges, bundles/promotions).
- Design and review interface specifications (IDocs, APIs, BAPIs, middleware) for revenue and billing data exchange with SAP.
- Establish and oversee reconciliation processes between the billing sub-ledger and the SAP general ledger, including month-end close support. • Provide architectural governance across the program: review designs for scalability, data integrity, auditability, and SOX/internal controls compliance. • Support SIT/UAT test strategy and execution for revenue reporting scenarios, including edge cases and exception handling.
- Proactively identify risks and gaps related to revenue leakage, reporting accuracy, and financial controls, and drive remediation.
- Produce clear documentation of data mappings, business rules, and technical designs for audit and knowledge transfer.
- Act as subject matter expert on revenue recognition and finance reporting, mentoring other architects/analysts on the program.
Required Skills & Experience: Revenue Recognition & Finance Reporting
- Working knowledge of ASC 606 / IFRS 15 revenue recognition standards, applied in a real implementation (not just theoretical).
- Experience with deferred revenue, contract assets/liabilities, revenue waterfalls, and multiple-element/performance-obligation accounting.
- Understanding of finance close processes: month-end/quarter-end close, journal entries, sub-ledger to GL reconciliation.
- Familiarity with internal financial controls and SOX compliance requirements for revenue reporting.
SAP & Systems Architecture
- Hands-on experience with SAP FI/CO; direct experience with SAP Revenue Accounting and Reporting (RAR) strongly preferred.
- Experience with SAP BRIM (Convergent Invoicing/Charging) or similar billing-to-SAP integration patterns is a strong plus.
- Experience architecting integrations between billing platforms (e.g., Zuora, Amdocs, CSG, Salesforce Billing, or custom billing systems) and SAP.
- Solid understanding of data integration methods: IDocs, APIs, BAPIs, ETL, and middleware
- Strong SQL and data analysis skills to trace revenue data through complex system-to-system flows.
Program & Leadership Skills
- 10+ years of experience in finance systems, revenue/billing systems, or financial reporting roles.
- 5+ years operating at a senior/architect/lead level on billing or revenue system implementations.
- Proven ability to translate between Finance stakeholders and technical teams, and to challenge/validate requirements from both sides.
- Robust documentation, stakeholder management, and communication skills.
- Experience with Agile and/or Waterfall delivery methodologies on large systems programs.
Preferred Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Information Systems, or a related field.
- SAP certification in RAR, FI, or related modules.
- Experience in telecom or subscription-based billing environments (usage-based billing, recurring revenue, plan changes).
- Prior experience on large-scale billing transformation or ERP revenue module implementation programs.
What Success Looks Like Within the first 6 months, this person has established a clear, documented revenue recognition architecture for the new billing system; validated it against Finance's requirements and applicable accounting standards; and built reliable, reconciled data flows into SAP that the finance team trusts for month-end close and audit.
