  • Hands-on experience forecasting project-based revenue, including time-and-materials, fixed-fee, and milestone engagements.

  • Clear written and verbal communication, executive presence with senior stakeholders, and the ability to explain a variance concisely.

Responsibilities

  • Own monthly and quarterly revenue forecasts across all entities and subsidiaries, and maintain a rolling 12-month forecast to support annual budget and reforecast cycles.
  • Build bottom-up forecasts from signed SOWs, change orders, staffing plans, and billing schedules, and reconcile them top-down to Salesforce pipeline and bookings.
  • Forecast revenue by type, including time and materials, fixed fee, managed services, and AWS-funded engagements.
  • Model backlog burn, utilization, and bench impact on revenue, and flag engagements at risk of under-delivery or overrun.

  • Act as the finance partner to Sales, Delivery, and Resource Management leaders, joining their forecast, pipeline, and staffing reviews on a recurring basis.
  • Partner on deal and SOW structuring, including pricing, fee model, and AWS funding, before signature.
  • Challenge assumptions about pipeline conversion, utilization, staffing, and deal structure with data, and influence decisions.
  • Translate financial trade-offs involving margin, cash, and risk into clear recommendations for senior non-finance stakeholders.
  • Own revenue data across Salesforce, the PSA or time-tracking system, and the ERP; define fields and controls that keep the systems in sync.
  • Build and maintain forecast models and dashboards with full traceability from reported numbers to source records.
  • Automate recurring reporting where practical using Google Sheets, Apps Script, SQL, BI tooling, or AI tools.
  • Document revenue operations processes and controls to support audit and month-end close.
  • Understand the forecast end to end and map each active engagement to its fee structure, billing schedule, funding terms, and staffing plan.
  • Own the monthly forecast, deliver a forecast-versus-actuals package with engagement-level variance explanations, establish regular cadences with Sales and Delivery leadership, and serve as their finance partner for forecast and deal questions.
  • Achieve forecast accuracy within 5% of actuals at company level and within 10% by offering, and run regular forecast reviews with Sales and Delivery leaders.
  • Make the forecast model and dashboards the single source of truth for revenue, automate recurring reporting, and support Sales and Delivery leaders' planning decisions.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience at an AWS or cloud consulting partner, including AWS funding programs.
  • Exposure to M&A, including integrating acquired entities into forecasting, reporting, and systems.
  • Working knowledge of ASC 606 for services revenue, including percentage-of-completion, deferred revenue, and unbilled revenue.
  • SQL, Apps Script, or Python for reporting automation.
  • Experience with multi-entity and multi-currency reporting.
