About the role

KLDiscovery is a leading global provider of eDiscovery, information governance, and data recovery solutions, serving AmLaw 100 firms, Fortune 500 corporations, and government agencies. Our Nebula and RelOne platforms deliver SaaS-based legal technology underpinned by managed services and professional services — a complex, multi-revenue-stream business requiring sharp financial leadership to scale effectively.

POSITION SUMMARY

The Director of FP&A — Revenue & GTM will serve as the strategic financial partner to the Chief Revenue Officer, sales leadership, and go-to-market teams. This individual owns the end-to-end revenue planning process across KLDiscovery's three primary revenue streams: SaaS/subscription (Nebula / RelOne), Managed Services, and Professional Services. The role sits at the intersection of finance and revenue operations — requiring both the analytical depth of a seasoned FP&A professional and the operational command of a sales ops leader capable of driving process hygiene, pipeline integrity, SFDC governance, and commissions accuracy.

This is a high-visibility role that will directly shape how the company forecasts, prices, and measures revenue performance as it transitions from usage-based to subscription billing and prepares for a potential refinancing event.

CORE RESPONSIBILITIES

Revenue Planning & Forecasting

  • Own the end-to-end revenue forecast model covering SaaS ARR/MRR, Managed Services recurring revenue, and Professional Services project revenue, with full waterfall from bookings through recognized revenue

  • Develop and maintain a rolling 12-month revenue forecast updated monthly in collaboration with CRO, regional VPs, and Sales Ops

  • Lead weekly and monthly forecast review calls with sales leadership, holding teams accountable to pipeline hygiene, stage progression, and close-date accuracy

  • Build and maintain ASC 606 compliant revenue recognition models, including SSP allocation across performance obligations and deferred revenue schedules for the SaaS-to-subscription transition

  • Produce scenario analyses (upside/downside/base) for leadership and board consumption, clearly articulating key revenue risks and opportunities

Sales Operations & CRM Governance

  • Partner with CRO and Sales Ops to own the Salesforce (SFDC) data governance framework — enforcing field hygiene, pipeline stage definitions, opportunity validation rules, and close-date discipline

  • Design and enforce the Quota Coverage Review (QCR) process, identifying coverage gaps, concentration risks, and capacity shortfalls in the annual sales plan

  • Lead territory design and quota-setting processes for the annual plan, in collaboration with HR, Sales Leadership, and Compensation teams

  • Build and maintain the revenue operations reporting stack: pipeline velocity, win/loss analysis, ACV by segment, sales cycle analytics, logo retention, and net revenue retention (NRR)

  • Act as the finance liaison for any CRM optimization or ERP/CRM integration work, ensuring system changes support accurate revenue reporting

  • Lead or partner on Order-to-Cash (O2C) integration initiatives — mapping and improving the end-to-end flow from opportunity creation in SFDC through CPQ, order management, billing, AR, and cash application in the ERP (Oracle); identify and close data gaps that cause revenue leakage, billing errors, or AR aging issues

  • Partner with IT, Sales Ops, and Accounting to design O2C workflows that support the subscription billing transition on Nebula/RelOne, including automated invoicing triggers, dunning logic, and deferred revenue hand-offs between systems

Commissions & Incentive Compensation

  • Own the monthly commissions calculation and reconciliation process, partnering with Sales Ops and HR to validate attainment and payout accuracy

  • Maintain commission capitalization schedules under ASC 340-40, ensuring proper amortization of incremental contract acquisition costs in accordance with company policy

  • Evaluate and recommend improvements to incentive compensation plan (ICP) design to align rep behavior with ARR growth, multi-year deal structuring, and professional services attach rates

  • Implement or enhance commissions management tooling (e.g., CaptivateIQ, Xactly, or SFDC-native solutions) to improve accuracy, auditability, and timeliness of payouts

GTM Financial Partnership & Strategic Analysis
