Project Manager-Revenue

Location-Hybrid-onsite in Dalton, GA

Permanent Placement

I’m working with a manufacturing company that’s making a serious investment in modernizing how revenue operations work, and they’re looking for a Project Manager, Revenue Automation to help lead it.

This is not a project coordinator role disguised with a bigger title. They need someone who can step into complex finance and revenue workflows, bring structure to ambiguity, and drive automation initiatives that actually stick. In this role, you’ll lead strategic projects tied to commission automation, AI-enabled commission processing, and AI-supported revenue recognition for project-based work. You’ll partner across finance, sales, operations, IT, and leadership to improve accuracy, scalability, visibility, and control across revenue-related processes. If you’ve led projects involving commissions, incentive compensation, revenue accounting, order-to-cash, or finance transformation, this is the kind of role where you can make a very visible impact.

What you’ll be doing:

• Lead end-to-end projects focused on revenue automation and finance process improvement
• Drive initiatives involving commission calculations, automation, validation, and controls
• Support implementation of AI-enabled tools to improve commission processing and revenue recognition
• Partner with finance and accounting leaders to align solutions with reporting requirements, policy, and compliance expectations
• Work across sales, operations, and IT to gather requirements, define workflows, and support integration
• Build project plans, timelines, milestones, and risk management frameworks for multiple initiatives
• Identify opportunities to standardize, automate, and scale revenue processes in a manufacturing environment
• Support testing, adoption, training, and change management to ensure solutions deliver long-term value

Why this role stands out:

• High-impact opportunity with strong executive visibility
• Chance to help shape the future of revenue operations through automation and AI
• Cross-functional exposure across finance, operations, sales, and technology
• Opportunity to build scalable processes rather than inherit broken ones
• Strong potential for long-term career growth

If you’re a project manager who understands finance, can navigate complexity, and knows how to move automation initiatives from idea to execution, I’d be glad to connect. This is a tremendous opportunity to join a scaling organization in acquisition mode making structural changes, allowing you to work closely with senior leadership, move the needle, and have real impact.

What they’re looking for:

• 5+ years of project management experience with strong exposure to finance, revenue operations, or accounting-related initiatives
• Experience leading projects tied to commissions, incentive compensation, revenue accounting, or order-to-cash
• Strong understanding of financial processes, revenue flows, and operational controls
• Experience in manufacturing, especially environments with project-based, product-based, or hybrid revenue models
• Familiarity with automation tools, enterprise systems, and AI-enabled business solutions
• Strong communication, stakeholder management, and problem-solving skills
• Experience working across finance, sales, operations, and technology teams

Preferred background:

• Experience with ERP systems, commission platforms, revenue accounting tools, or financial planning systems
• Knowledge of revenue recognition standards and compliance considerations
• PMP, Agile, PRINCE2, or similar project management certification
• Experience supporting digital transformation or enterprise process improvement efforts
