DESCRIPTION

We're looking for a Revenue & Billing Operations Manager to partner closely with Finance, Customer Experience, BI and Product to give billing a single, accountable owner. This is a true partnership across teams: you'll bring order and control to billing operations while continuously raising the bar for how accurate, explainable, and responsive Pontera's billing is for every customer. Billing at Pontera has outgrown the informal, all-hands-on-deck model that carried it so far - it now touches customer trust, adoption, and executive relationships, not just back-office accuracy.

You're the connective tissue across the entire billing lifecycle - the person every other function turns to when something needs to actually get resolved, not just flagged. That means owning billing file validation before release, payment and check reconciliation, credits and refunds end to end process; being the Finance point of contact for all US based teams who they can rely on for any customer-impacting billing issue. The ability to serve as the business owner for our Quote-to-Cash system, translating real defects into requirements so the system gets built around what actually breaks — not just the happy path.

This is a hands-on role for someone who thrives on both building processes and executing on the details. Whether it's catching a rate error before a customer ever sees it, tracking down a missing remittance, or rebuilding a broken reconciliation process from scratch, no task is too small when it comes to protecting the accuracy of our billing and the trust our customers place in us.

What Success Looks Like

Billing at Pontera has outgrown the informal, all-hands-on-deck model that carried it so far - it now touches customer trust, adoption, and executive relationships, not just back-office accuracy.

In the first 90 days, this role moves through three phases: establishing control (documenting end-to-end billing flows, baselining accuracy and cycle time, standing up an exception queue and an interim Finance-CX RACI); stabilizing operations (launching pre-release review for high-risk billing files, implementing a check/payment reconciliation log, and running Quote-to-Cash UAT against real failure scenarios); and reducing recurrence (closing out priority root causes, publishing a scorecard, and formalizing SOPs and escalation thresholds).

By six months, you're equally comfortable auditing a high-risk billing file as you are chasing down an unmatched check, building a RACI, or walking a customer-facing partner through exactly where an issue stands, why it happened and when it'll be resolved. You understand that billing accuracy is built through careful controls, proactive communication, and a willingness to own a problem until it's actually fixed - not just documented.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Review billing files before release, validating rates, minimums, account eligibility and status, duplicate or overlapping lines, legal entity, credits, and exceptions.
Maintain a documented sign-off process and audit trail for every billing release.
Own the intake-to-application process for checks and ACH, including remittance logging, endorsement standards, deposit evidence, and matching to invoices.
