About the role

The Principal Business Technology (BT) Product Manager for Quote-to-Cash (Q2C) leads the strategy, delivery, and system health of Workiva’s revenue-lifecycle architecture. In this role, you will partner directly with Sales, Finance, Legal, and Business Technology (BT) engineering teams to design automated, auditable, and scalable systems that convert commercial agreements into recognized revenue. By blending enterprise platform expertise (CPQ, Billing, ERP) with emerging AI and automation tooling, you will identify operational bottlenecks, develop functional prototypes, and guide business systems analysts to execute solutions that optimize cash flow and process velocity.

What You’ll Do

System Strategy & Architecture Alignment: Evaluate Quote-to-Cash friction points across billing, invoicing, and contract operations to determine the most effective delivery mechanism—whether through native ERP/CPQ configurations, data-layer reporting, or applied AI/automation tooling

Rapid Prototyping & Technical Validation: Develop functional proofs-of-concept using low-code/no-code platforms, API integrations, and generative AI agents to test hypotheses and de-risk workflows before committing engineering resources

Cross-Functional Partnership: Act as a strategic advisor to Finance, Sales Operations, and Legal stakeholders, translating operational bottlenecks and compliance policies (including SOX controls) into clear product roadmaps

Team Direction & Capability Uplift: Coach and direct Business Systems Analysts (BSAs), fostering standard methodologies in requirements definition, user story mapping, and modern automated testing

Operational Accountability: Measure and take ownership of value stream outcomes, focusing on cycle time, billing accuracy, reconciliation latency, and audit compliance rather than raw backlog velocity

What You’ll Need
Minimum Qualifications

10+ years of progressive experience in business systems analysis, enterprise product management, or revenue operations architecture with a bachelor's degree in Business, Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related discipline, or 8+ years with an advanced degree

Demonstrated track record managing enterprise-scale systems across the Quote-to-Cash lifecycle (e.g., Salesforce CPQ, NetSuite, SAP, Zuora, Workday Financials)

Demonstrated experience designing and testing workflow automation or machine-learning/AI prototypes (e.g., automated reconciliation, document parsing, anomaly detection) using low-code tools or API integrations

Proven background directing, mentoring, or guiding the technical output of business analysts or systems administrators

Preferred Qualifications

Experience designing systems subject to SOX compliance, revenue recognition standards (ASC 606), and enterprise audit requirements

Hands-on implementation experience with generative AI workflows, agentic automation, or LLM-driven document processing in enterprise finance/legal settings

Direct experience leading transformation programs from legacy billing/invoicing systems to modern, unified SaaS architectures

Formal background coaching or directly managing cross-functional delivery squads

Working Conditions & Travel Requirements

Ability to travel up to 25% annually to Workiva office locations for planning sessions and stakeholder workshops

Consistent, high-speed internet connection supporting video conferencing and distributed cloud system operations during remote work periods
