The opportunity

EY's Enterprise Risk - Process & Controls practice supports leading Technology, Media & Telecommunications (TMT) companies as they scale complex, platform-based business models within increasingly sophisticated finance and risk environments.

• Strong experience in revenue accounting (ASC 606) within complex environments
• Experience leading risk transformation across finance and revenue systems, including system implementations, process redesign, or IPO readiness

• Experience with data and reconciliation platforms (e.g., Snowflake, Databricks)
• Strong communication skills with executive-level client interaction
• Based in or willing to relocate to the San Francisco Bay Area, with hybrid expectations (2-3 days onsite); willing to travel ~50%, work extended hours as needed, and hold a valid passport
