Senior Revenue Analyst

About the role

You will own the end to end mechanics of month end close within the revenue accounting function, ensuring that every journal entry and adjustment is processed with precision and timeliness. You will act as a key deal support partner for the commercial teams, translating complex contract language into clear accounting guidance that keeps our recognition practices both compliant and predictable. This role requires you to manage your own shifting priorities while maintaining calm under the pressure of high volume monthly close cycles and hard deadlines. You will review each revenue contract in detail, surfacing non standard terms that could materially affect timing or pattern of recognition. Through collaboration with Sales, Legal, and Engineering, you will help design scalable processes and system enhancements that reduce manual effort and improve accuracy over time. You will contribute to special projects and ad hoc analyses as the business evolves, supporting strategic decisions with reliable data and clear narratives. This is a hands on position where your work will be visible at every stage of the revenue lifecycle and directly influence how Figma recognizes and reports performance.
