You have spent years in the weeds of revenue recognition, and you know that ASC 606 is not just a compliance checkbox, it is the framework that determines whether a quarter closes clean or becomes a scramble. You have sat across the table from Big 4 auditors and walked them through your position with documentation so tight they had nothing left to ask. You think in terms of contract structure, not just accounting entries, and you can spot a revenue issue in a deal before it gets to order management. You are comfortable leading a team while still being hands-on when a complex M&
A contract lands on your desk or a sales rep needs guidance on how to structure terms that actually work. You do not wait for someone else to build the process, you see the gap, you build the solution, and you bring the team along with you. Managing a center of excellence across time zones does not intimidate you, it energizes you because you know how to scale expertise without losing quality.

What You'll Be Doing:
- Lead a team responsible for ensuring all revenue recognition complies with ASC 606 across software, semiconductor IP, and services contracts
- Partner directly with Sales, Contracts, Order Management, and Revenue Accounting to structure deal terms that support accurate and defensible revenue positions
- Prepare quarterly revenue recognition packages and present your positions to external auditors, including Big 4 firms, with full documentation and justification
- Own the revenue accounting close process and ensure all associated controls are executed and documented properly
- Review M&
A contracts and prepare revenue impact assessments and integration plans for acquired businesses
- Document and update Synopsys policies and procedures to reflect evolving ASC 606 guidance and business model changes
- Build and manage a center of excellence team in an overseas location, scaling capability while maintaining quality and consistency across geographies
