About the Opportunity
We are looking for a Billing Implementation Consultant to help us launch our Market-to-Cash project later this year. This reflects a huge change for Dext, as all systems and processes around customer order capture, contract management, SaaS invoicing and revenue recognition are being overhauled. This is expected to be a six-month contract and as the primary project lead for the Finance Team, you’ll play a key role in delivering the project and ensure we go live with minimum impact on our customers and revenue reporting. This is a contract role ideal for someone with experience of billing system implementations, has used Netsuite in previous roles and has a working knowledge of finance processes.
What you’ll do
- Be the Finance Lead on the project with particular focus on managing the workflows from our new order capture system (Salesforce CPQ) into our new billing system (Billing Platform) and finally out to Netsuite, our established accounting platform and ensure that customers are billed correctly, we collect cash on time and that we accurately report our revenue numbers.
- Collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams including internal and external project stakeholders.
- Support testing cycles and parallel running of both current and new systems to ensure a robust go-live.
- Support the training of relevant Finance team-members to ensure that the new system is adopted efficiently.
About you
- Significant experience of Billing System implementations
- A track record of successful project deliveries with limited issues post implementation
- Considerable experience of using Netsuite, preferably in multiple organisations, knowing where to look to solve problems
- Strong understanding of key processes, workflows and system interfaces underpinning the market to cash journey
- A good working knowledge of key finance processes and disciplines, particularly around revenue (eg revenue recognition, deferred income)
- An ability to think creatively to avoid potential pitfalls and achieve a more effective outcome
- A clear communicator who can effectively influence others on the optimum way forward
Bonus points for:
- Experience of the ‘Billing Platform’ tool
- Previous exposure to Salesforce CPQ
- Qualified Accountant (ACA, ACCA, or similar) with at least 5 years of PQE
Why Join Dext (Contractor Perks)
- Fast-paced project ownership with the autonomy to make an impact.
- Work alongside a high-performing, collaborative team in a leading SaaS business.
- Flexible hybrid working, with access to our London office. For this role, we also welcome fully remote UK based contractors to apply.
- Opportunity to shape long-term systems improvements in a rapidly scaling business.
