MongoDB is seeking a Senior Director, Revenue Operations to lead the global revenue close function for a fast-growing, publicly traded technology company. This role is responsible for ensuring the accuracy, timeliness, and scalability of revenue accounting operations across a complex, multi-product, multi-region environment.

• Subscription and consumption-based revenue
• Complex, multi-element arrangements
• Global expansion and increasing transaction volumes
• Identify and remediate manual, high-risk processes through process re-engineering, automation, and system enhancements

Controls, Compliance & Audit

• Own the operational execution of SOX-relevant revenue controls, including documentation, testing support, and remediation
• Maintain a consistently high level of audit readiness for internal audit, external auditors, and regulatory reporting
• Partner with Technical Revenue Accounting to operationalize new accounting guidance, policies, and non-standard deal structures

Cross-Functional Partnership

• Serve as a key partner to:
• Sales Operations and Deal Desk (deal flow, approvals, pricing execution)
• Billing and Order-to-Cash (invoice accuracy, data integrity)
• FP&A (revenue forecasting, variance analysis, management reporting)
• Legal and Product (contract terms, new offerings, go-to-market changes)
• Translate business and product changes into executable revenue close workflows without disrupting reporting timelines

People & Leadership

• Lead, develop, and scale a high-performing global organization, including managers and senior managers across regions
• Establish clear ownership, role clarity, and performance expectations aligned with senior-level leadership standards
• Build succession plans and leadership depth to support long-term organizational resilience
• Foster a culture of accountability, operational rigor, and continuous improvement

Qualifications

Required

• 12+ years of progressive experience in revenue accounting, with significant responsibility for revenue close operations
• Experience at a public, high-growth SaaS or technology company
• Deep expertise in ASC 606, revenue close mechanics, and scaling revenue operations
• Proven success leading global, multi-geo teams across time zones
• Strong understanding of SOX, internal controls, and audit requirements
• Demonstrated ability to design scalable processes in complex, evolving business environments

Preferred

• Experience supporting usage-based pricing, marketplace revenue, or cloud consumption models
• Hands-on leadership in major systems implementations or revenue process transformations
• CPA or equivalent professional certification
• Extensive experience partnering with Big 4 auditors

Leadership Attributes

• Enterprise Operator: Designs durable processes that scale with the business
• Execution-Focused: Balances precision, speed, and accountability in a high-stakes reporting environment
• Systems-Oriented: Understands how upstream systems and data quality impact revenue outcomes
• People-First Leader: Develops leaders, builds bench strength, and drives clarity at scale
• Cross-Functional Influencer: Drives alignment across Finance, Sales, Product, and Legal without relying on formal authority

What “Great” Looks Like at MongoDB

At maturity, this leader:

• Runs a predictable, globally sequenced revenue close with minimal fire drills
• Has clearly delineated ownership between Technical RevAcct and RevAcct Ops
• Has materially reduced manual intervention, late adjustments, and audit churn
• Can absorb new products, pricing models, and GTM motions without close disruption
• Has built a deep bench of RevAcct Ops leaders across geos

Director+ Leadership Expectations

• Operates 2–3 years ahead of current scale
• Manages through senior leaders (not tasks)
• Shapes operating models, not just executes within them
• Drives alignment across org boundaries without escalation
• Develops successors ready for Director/Senior Director scope
