The Role: We're hiring a senior operator to build out and run Commercial Finance Operations — a new function within Finance, reporting to the Finance Director. The remit covers the operational layer that turns commercial activity into accurate, timely, well-controlled financial outcomes. Our multi-product offering, direct sales motion, and high degree of contractual customisation create real complexity in how deals translate into billing, revenue, commissions and cash. We need a senior owner to bring rigour, design the operating model from scratch, and run it. This is a hands‑on leadership role. You will own a defined book of work from day one, build a small team over time, and act as a senior voice in commercial and finance decisions across the business.

What You’ll Own:

• Quote-to-cash operations end to end — billing setup, invoicing, AR, cash application and collections.
• Contract operationalisation — custom order forms, multi-product entitlements, usage tiers, mid‑term amendments and renewals.
• Commission operations — running calculation cycles, handling adjustments and exceptions, partnering with Sales and Strategic Finance on policy.
• Pricing realisation and discount governance — visibility into what we sell at versus list, by product, segment and rep.
• Commercial finance systems — working with our systems team on the finance stack (Salesforce, billing platform, NetSuite and the connections between them).
• Cross‑functional leadership — the senior point of contact from Finance into Sales, Customer Success and Legal for anything commercial-operations adjacent.

What You’ll Bring:

• A track record of running quote-to-cash, billing and AR operations in a B2B SaaS environment at scale.
• Strong commercial fluency — you can read a custom order form and immediately see the operational and financial implications.
• Real depth in sales compensation operations — you've run comp cycles in environments with bespoke clauses, accelerators, clawbacks and one‑off arrangements.
• Systems fluency across Salesforce, a billing platform, and NetSuite or equivalent.
• Leadership experience — you've built or scaled a function before, or operated as the senior IC in a function that needed building.
• A bias toward simplification — our environment is complex but the answer is usually cleaner process, not more process.

Requirements:

• A minimum of 8 years’ experience in commercial finance, revenue operations or quote-to-cash roles within B2B SaaS.
• Experience implementing or improving order-to-cash KPIs (DSO, billing accuracy, collections efficiency) with measurable outcomes.

Helpful, Not Required:

• Experience in a multi-product SaaS business with usage‑based or hybrid pricing.
• Exposure to ASC 606 revenue recognition in a practical operational context.
• Experience working closely with deal desk, legal and accounting as distinct functions.
