Planet is seeking a Revenue Accounting Transformation Manager to lead the modernization, automation, and scalability of the company's global revenue engine, reporting to the Global Revenue Accounting Director.
You will stand at the intersection of technical accounting standards (ASC 606), business systems engineering, and data analytics. You will lead cross-functional transformation across the entire Quote-to-Cash (Q2C) lifecycle, from evaluating new monetization models and designing system configurations to automating audit disclosures and acting as the primary SOX compliance liaison. You will serve as the architectural bridge between commercial innovation, technical revenue compliance, and automated data pipelines—ensuring the company scales rapidly without sacrificing auditability or operational speed.
Key responsibilities include:
- Lead the design and configuration of automated revenue subledgers and system architecture
- Modernize end-to-end Quote-to-Cash workflows to eliminate manual journal entries, spreadsheet risks, and shorten month-end close cycles
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate revenue data across ERP, subledgers, and data warehouses
- Automate ASC 606 footnote disclosures and key financial metrics with automated reconciliations
- Partner with Product, Sales Ops, and Pricing teams to evaluate systems impact and revenue rules for new products and monetization models
- Serve as the primary liaison for internal and external auditors on revenue systems, process changes, and automation workflows
- Design, document, and test key SOX application controls and risk matrices resulting from system upgrades and new product launches
- Ensure all automated system rules, data flows, and manual overrides remain strictly compliant with ASC 606
- Maintain Standard Operating Procedures and train finance teams on updated system workflows
Planet designs, builds, and operates the largest constellation of imaging satellites in history, delivering empirical data via a cloud-based platform to commercial, environmental, and humanitarian sectors.

This is a full-time, remote position based in the United States. If located near an office (San Francisco, Washington DC, Germany, Austria, Slovenia, or The Netherlands), you are expected to work from that office 3 days per week.
REQUIREMENTS:

- Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or Business Information Systems, or comparable
- Excellent understanding of US GAAP and ASC 606 principles in complex SaaS, recurring revenue, multi-element, or usage-based business models
- Hands-on experience with SOX 404 compliance, internal control frameworks, and leading audit walk-throughs for automated IT application controls
- Direct experience implementing, configuring, or managing enterprise ERPs and revenue subledgers/engines (NetSuite ARM, Salesforce, etc.)
- Proficiency with enterprise data warehouses and BI/visualization tools; solid database query/SQL skills are highly valued
- Success leading cross-functional project teams, managing project risk, and delivering complex system implementations on schedule
- Exceptional cross-functional leadership skills—capable of aligning incentives across Sales Ops, Legal, IT, Product, FP&A, and External Auditors
- Solid articulate communicator who can explain complex technical accounting requirements to engineering teams and technical data concepts to accounting leadership
- Ability to navigate a dynamic, high-growth environment with an agile approach to problem solving
