Director of Revenue Accounting

Blend is seeking a Senior Director of Revenue Accounting to lead and scale the revenue recognition and billing and collections functions. This leader will be responsible for overseeing the end-to-end quote-to-cash process, managing a growing team, leading audit support, and partnering cross-functionally to ensure streamlined contract processing and billing workflows. The ideal candidate brings a deep understanding of complex SaaS revenue models, a strong technical accounting background specifically with ASC 606, a passion for automation and process optimization, and experience leading high-performance teams.

How You’ll Contribute:

• Lead the Company’s revenue accounting function, ensuring compliance with ASC 606.
• Lead technical accounting assessments of customer contracts, with the focus on non-standard terms, contract modifications, and multi-element arrangements.
• Maintain and evolve the Company’s revenue recognition policies and documentation.
• Ensure SOX 404(b) compliant controls are documented and operating effectively across all quote-to-cash processes.
• Serve as the primary contact for internal and external audits related to revenue and receivables, including providing audit deliverables and technical documentation.
• Lead process transformation initiatives to automate and streamline workflows, including an AI roadmap for revenue accounting.
• Collaborate with Deal Desk, Sales, Legal and FP&A to enable timely, compliant, and scalable contracting and revenue processes.
• Partner with Product, Engineering, and Deployment teams to assess impacts of new offerings on revenue recognition and operational processes.
• Own the completeness and accuracy of transaction data that drives billing and revenue, spanning across platform volume, customer-reported usage, and partner data - including the controls, reconciliations, and cross-functional collaboration that goes with it.
• Manage updates to Blend’s standalone selling price analysis and transaction price allocation methodologies.
• Oversee the billings and collections function, ensuring accurate, timely, and complete invoicing and cash application, and own the reporting that comes out of it — AR aging and reserves, unbilled and deferred revenue balances, and collections metrics such as DSO.
• Guide monthly and quarterly revenue close processes, overseeing revenue recognition entries, flux analysis, internal reporting, and external revenue-related disclosures.
• Lead, coach, and mentor a team of revenue and billing professionals with a focus on professional growth and high performance.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance; CPA strongly preferred.
• 12+ years of progressive experience in revenue accounting and billing/collections, including 5+ years in a leadership role.
• Deep expertise in ASC 606, including experience reviewing complex SaaS and subscription-based contracts.
• Proven experience leading order-to-cash processes and managing billing and AR operations.
• Experience in a public company environment, including SOX compliance and external audit.
• Strong systems knowledge (e.g., NetSuite, Salesforce, CPQ, Zuora, or similar platforms).
• A track record of process automation within revenue accounting, with a passion for applying AI to accounting workflows.
• Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills to collaborate with internal and external stakeholders and influence outcomes.
• Must be able to operate as a player-coach in a lean, fast-moving environment
