Director, Global Process Owner - Order to Cash

Who is Sonar? Sonar helps prevent code quality and code security issues from reaching production, amplifies developers’ productivity in concert with AI assistants, and improves the developer experience with streamlined workflows. Sonar analyzes all code, regardless of who writes it — your internal team, genAI, or third parties — resulting in more secure, reliable, and maintainable applications. Rooted in the open source community, Sonar’s solutions support over 30 programming languages, frameworks, and infrastructure technologies. Today, Sonar is used by +7M developers and 400K organizations worldwide, including the DoD, Microsoft, NASA, MasterCard, Siemens, and T‑Mobile. The Impact You Will Have: Build the Blueprint ‑ End‑to‑End Process Ownership You’ll be the architect. Own the entire Order‑to‑Cash process from quote to cash collection and design the operating model that carries Sonar through its next phase of growth. No one has done this here before — you’re building the blueprint. Diagnose where things break today, trace issues to their root cause, and design a future‑state model with crystal‑clear roles, handoffs, and SLAs that the entire organization can rally around. Create the OTC process narrative, SOPs, and process maps that become the institutional standard — your fingerprints will be on how this company operates for years to come. Modernize the Stack ‑ Automation & Systems Lead the charge on eliminating manual work. Partner with Business Technology to unlock automation across the OTC cycle — turning spreadsheets and workarounds into scalable, system‑driven workflows. Be the Finance voice in how NetSuite, Salesforce CPQ, Aptitude RevStream, and Stripe work together. You’ll shape how these platforms are configured and integrated to move faster and with fewer errors. Champion the transition to automated cash application, invoice generation, and reconciliation — replacing firefighting with engineering. Stay Ahead of the Business ‑ New Products, Sales Channels & Revenue Streams Be the person the business calls before they launch. Design OTC processes for new products, sales channels, and go‑to‑market motions so Finance is an accelerator, not a bottleneck. Build scalable billing, invoicing, and settlement workflows for emerging revenue streams — partner referral payments, marketplace transactions, channel reseller programs — before they become urgent. Partner with Product, Sales, and Partnerships teams early in the lifecycle to assess financial process implications, define system requirements, and make sure new offerings are operationally buttoned up from day one. Raise the Bar ‑ Controls & Public‑Company Readiness Design and implement a SOX‑ready internal control framework over the OTC process that doesn’t just check boxes — it builds confidence with auditors, leadership, and future investors. Define the KPIs that matter (DSO, billing error rates, invoice cycle time, cash application match rates) and build the dashboards and reporting cadence to hold the process accountable. Be the person external auditors want in the room for OTC walkthroughs and testing — because you built the controls and you know them cold. Connect the Dots ‑ Cross‑Functional Governance Sit at the intersection of Sales Ops, Deal Desk, Billing Ops, Revenue Accounting, Treasury, and BizTech. You’ll be the connective tissue that turns six separate teams into one cohesive revenue machine. Stand up and lead an OTC steering committee — set the priorities, manage the dependencies, and drive real accountability across functions. Work hand‑in‑hand with Deal Desk and Revenue Ops to make sure deal structures, quoting workflows, and HERO approval processes translate cleanly into downstream billing and revenue recognition — no surprises at month‑end. Make It Better Every Day ‑ Operational Excellence Own a structured continuous improvement engine. Build and maintain an issue log, run root‑cause analysis, deploy fixes, and track results — think Pareto charts, not finger‑pointing. Get upstream of problems. Proactively identify quote and deal‑related issues before they cascade into revenue, ARR, or collections impacts at month‑end. Stay curious about what’s next. Evaluate emerging technologies, tools, and best practices to keep Sonar’s OTC process at the leading edge of what a high‑growth SaaS company should look like. Required 10+ years of progressive experience in finance operations, accounting, or business process management — with at least 5 of those years directly owning or leading Order‑to‑Cash process design, optimization, or transformation. You’ve worked in SaaS or subscription software. You understand how subscription billing models, revenue recognition under ASC 606, and recurring revenue metrics (ARR, net retention, churn) actually flow through the OTC cycle — not just conceptually, but operationally. You’ve led at least one full‑cycle OTC transformation — from current‑state assessment and stakeholder alignment through future‑state design, systems implementation, and post‑go‑live stabilization. You can speak to what worked, what didn’t, and what you’d do differently. You’ve been hands‑on in an ERP environment (NetSuite strongly preferred) and have working experience with Salesforce (CPQ preferred), plus at least one revenue automation or billing platform (e.g., Aptitude RevStream, Zuora, Stripe). You’ve designed or materially improved internal controls within the OTC cycle in a SOX or SOX‑readiness environment. You understand control objectives, not just control descriptions. You’ve operated cross‑functionally — partnering with Sales, Deal Desk, Legal, and Technology — in a global environment with multiple entities, currencies, and billing models. You know how to influence without direct authority and drive accountability across teams that don’t report to you. You communicate with precision. Whether it’s a process narrative for auditors, a steering committee deck for leadership, or a root‑cause analysis for the billing team — you tailor the message and land it clearly. Preferred CPA, MBA, or other relevant professional certification. Experience preparing a company for IPO or operating within a public‑company reporting environment. Lean/Six Sigma or other formal process improvement certification. Experience with Stripe billing and payment platforms. Familiarity with marketplace billing dynamics (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure marketplaces). Big 4 public accounting or management consulting background — particularly in finance transformation or operational advisory. Benefits Flexible comprehensive employee benefit package. We encourage usage of our robust time‑off allocations. You will receive 25 days of PTO per calendar year (on a pro‑rated basis depending on your employment start date), with additional time provided for sickness, life events and holidays.
