Quick facts
From the original posting
We're looking for a Senior Product Manager to own Revenue at Tabs: the system that turns performance obligations and usage data into recognized revenue a finance team can close the month on and an auditor can sign off on.
Audit-defensible revenue recognition is core to what Tabs does. You'll own the recognition engine across methods, the ASC 606 treatment that drives it (SSP allocation, variable consideration, contract modifications), and the audit trail and controls that make the numbers defensible. You'll report to the Director of Product and work every day with engineering, Solutions, and the finance teams who use Tabs.
Why this role exists: most revenue software is built by people who have never had to defend a number at close. We want someone who has, and who has also built software with engineers.
We work hard. Two-week sprints, weekly ship goals, short feedback cycles. Built around intra-month product releases.
We work smart. Get in front of the customer, use both data and customer feedback to drive decisions, while keeping the bigger picture in mind.
We work together. In-office culture with people you want to work with. Lots of whiteboard space. Expense coffee, lunch, and dinner when in the office.
Own the revenue recognition engine
Define how performance obligations convert into revenue schedules across methods — straightlined, point-in-time, usage-based, and milestone
Ensure contract changes (amendments, renewals, terminations) flow through correctly to revenue schedules, including re-allocation and restatements
Own recognized, deferred, and unbilled balances, and the movement between them each period
Drive ASC 606 compliance
Own transaction price allocation across bundled performance obligations (SSP), variable consideration, and contract modification accounting
Stay current on evolving accounting guidance and audit standards, along with the needs of active and prospective merchants, and translate them into product direction
Build toward audit-defensible, SOX-grade revenue
Define the audit trail standard — what was recognized, when, why, against which obligation — so an external auditor can verify any number directly
Build toward segregated permissions and approval workflows (RBAC) for revenue and journal entry changes
Bring AI into the revenue workflow
Partner on AI-powered tooling that goes beyond answering questions — flagging anomalies before close, explaining what changed and why, and recommending the right recognition treatment as obligations and contracts evolve
