Reporting to the Chief Accounting Officer, the Head of Revenue Accounting and Order-to-Cash will serve as a strategic thought partner to executive leadership and key cross-functional stakeholders, with end-to-end responsibility for the strategy, governance, operating model, and performance of MongoDB’s revenue accounting and order-to-cash ecosystem. This is a rare opportunity to shape the revenue infrastructure of a high-growth, publicly traded technology company as it scales.

This leader will oversee Revenue Accounting Operations, Technical Revenue Accounting, and Order-to-Cash, and serve as the company’s senior authority on ASC 606 and U.S. GAAP revenue recognition in a business defined by consumption-based and hybrid cloud commercial models. They will advise on complex, non-standard arrangements and partner across Sales, Sales Operations, Deal Strategy, Legal, Product, FP&A, and IT to strengthen the broader quote-to-cash ecosystem and support scalable growth through strong controls, sound judgment, efficient processes, and modern systems.

This is a high-impact, hands-on leadership role with responsibility for building and developing a global organization while driving transformation across people, process, and systems. The role will modernize infrastructure, automation, and controllership, translate complex accounting matters into clear business decisions for senior leadership and external auditors, and help shape a disciplined, scalable roadmap for MongoDB’s next phase of growth.

We are looking to speak to candidates who are based in San Francisco, CA or Palo Alto, CA for our hybrid working model.

  • Hire, develop, and retain a high-performing global organization and create scalable ways of working that can support future growth, complexity, and organizational change
