Your Opportunity: This is a rare chance to define a newly created role within New Relic’s growing finance function.

Reporting directly to the Senior Director of Revenue and Order to Cash, you will have access to high-level mentorship while retaining the autonomy to run your team your way. We offer a hybrid working model (2 days in our San Francisco hub), giving you the perfect balance of face-to-face collaboration and the flexibility of working from home.
