About the Role

Hopper is hiring a Senior Manager or Director of Revenue Accounting to own our end-to-end revenue recognition and partner economics function — building it from the ground up.

• Interpret and account for complex deal structures including tiered revenue share, variable commissions, clawbacks, and multi-element arrangements.
• Ensure accurate revenue recognition under ASC 606 and draft technical accounting memos to support it.
• Maintain the AR subledger, reconcile to the GL, and own month-end close across all partner revenue streams.
• Use advanced SQL to independently pull, validate, and reconcile large transaction datasets across systems.
• Read and interpret commercial contracts to surface accounting implications; partner with BD and Legal on new deal structuring.
