Who you are
We're looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role. If you meet these requirements, you are encouraged to apply. The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement.
Expect these engagements to be complex, deep, technical, and most of all interesting. Metronome directly influences how the internet monetizes - AI is an obvious current example - and our group is on the front lines driving this influence with our prospects. Metronome is a startup. As such, there’s a lot still to figure out and tremendous room for high-agency people to impact our direction and strategy, build processes from zero to one, and generally make a difference. If this excites you as much as it excites us, let’s talk.

- Deep knowledge of the quote-to-cash space, including integrating with or otherwise interacting with tools like Salesforce, NetSuite, CPQs, Billing, Tax, Payments, etc.
- Experience leading complex, multi-phase technology transformation programs for enterprise companies.
- Experience in fast-moving startup environments that value high agency.
- Ability to quickly learn and communicate technical concepts to technical, go-to-market, and finance stakeholders.
- Excitement for building and improving GTM playbooks, processes, and reusable assets.
- Ability to travel approximately 30% of the time (will vary depending on client needs)
Preferred qualifications
- Experience as a software engineer, product manager, or in other technical roles.
- Strong understanding of project management and program management fundamentals and principles
- Experience working with users from one or more of the following personas: Finance/ CFO, Engineering/ CTO, Product/ CPO, Sales Ops/ CRO, and Billing Operations.
