## Job description

We are a global team of innovators and pioneers dedicated to shaping the future of observability. At New Relic, we build an intelligent platform that empowers companies to thrive in an AI-first world by giving them unparalleled insight into their complex systems. As we continue to expand our global footprint, we're looking for passionate people to join our mission. If you're ready to help the world's best companies optimize their digital applications, we invite you to explore a career with us!

## Your Opportunity

As our Senior Manager, Compliance in Bangalore, you will play a pivotal, highly strategic role in New Relic’s global finance organization.

Unlike traditional, siloed compliance roles, this position sits within our uniquely structured Integrated Tax and Compliance team. We believe that high-quality tax filings are entirely dependent on robust, accurate statutory financials. By managing the statutory financial reporting and audit processes end-to-end, our integrated team ensures a seamless, high-integrity data flow directly into our international tax return filings.

The Honest Reality & The Partnership: Currently, our global statutory financial preparation and audit process is fragmented, and we are actively working through bottlenecks that impact our filing timelines.

To bridge the gap, our Director of Global Tax & Compliance has been personally managing this function day-to-day. Because of this, we aren’t starting from scratch. We have already diagnosed many of the root causes, mapped out where the process breaks down, and formulated clear hypotheses for future improvements.

This is not a "maintenance" job, nor is it a solo rescue mission. We are looking for a true strategic collaborator. We need a leader who can partner closely with the Director, stress-test our current ideas, bring their own seasoned perspective to the table, and turn our vision for a world-class in-house compliance function into a reality.

Currently managing one direct report and 1–2 consultants who support our global audit efforts, you will start by stabilizing our current global audit cycles. Eventually, your long-term mandate is to in-house the statutory financial function where it makes sense, building out your own team and custom processes as we scale.

This role reports directly to the Director, Global Tax & Compliance.

## What You’ll Do

Collaborative Turnaround & Process Execution

- Partner & Validate: Collaborate closely with the Director of Global Tax & Compliance to review existing process diagnoses, validate hypotheses on current bottlenecks, and rapidly co-design tactical action plans.
- Challenge and Improve: Act as a sounding board and strategic peer. Challenge existing ideas and introduce best-in-class methodologies to rebuild our global audit workflows.
- Eliminate Friction: Identify inefficiencies in how internal accounting teams, tax teams, and external auditors interact. Streamline these touchpoints, establish clear ownership, and implement modern workflow-tracking tools.
- Standardize and Document: Design and deploy standardized templates, schedules, and process playbooks to make the audit cycle predictable, repeatable, and scalable.

Strategic Leadership & In-Housing Vision

- Build the In-House Function: Define the strategic roadmap to transition statutory financial statement preparation from external service providers to an in-house delivery model.
- Scale and Mentor the Team: Lead, coach, and support our current compliance team member and 1–2 dedicated consultants. You will have the runway to hire and expand this team as the in-house function takes shape.
- Drive Tax & Stat Integration: Partner closely with the corporate Tax team to streamline the "Stat-to-Tax" pipeline, ensuring that statutory financial outputs feed cleanly into local tax filings with minimal friction.

Statutory Reporting & Audit Management (Core Responsibilities)

- End-to-End Audit Ownership: Lead and coordinate statutory audits across 15+ international jurisdictions, acting as the primary point of contact for external auditors.
- Service Provider Oversight: Hold third-party compliance agencies and consultants rigorously accountable to timelines, quality standards, and deliverables.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with corporate Accounting, Tax, and Legal teams to ensure all audit-related "Prepared by Client" (PBC) schedules are identified, prepared, and reviewed on time.
- Technical Issue Resolution: Act as the lead problem solver for complex accounting and reporting questions that arise during local statutory audits.

This Role Requires

- A Strong Collaborative Spirit: You thrive in a "co-pilot" dynamic. You appreciate having a manager who understands the weeds, and you are excited to collaborate on solutions rather than working in an isolated silo.
- A Builder's Mindset: A strong desire to build and repair rather than just maintain. You are comfortable with ambiguity, messy data, and creating order out of operational chaos.
- The Courage to Question: A healthy skepticism of "how we've always done it." You are a proactive problem solver who identifies bottlenecks and proposes structural solutions rather than temporary workarounds.
- Rescue Experience: Proven track record of turning around delayed audit cycles, streamlining broken financial workflows, or restructuring outsourced compliance relationships.
- Professional Certification: CA (Chartered Accountant) or CPA is highly preferred.
- Educational Background: Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related discipline.
- Experience: 10+ years of progressive accounting and compliance leadership experience, ideally spanning a mix of Big 4/public accounting and multinational corporate environments (SaaS experience is a major plus).
- International Audit Expertise: Deep experience managing complex statutory audits and financial statement preparations across APAC and EMEA jurisdictions.
- Systems Familiarity: Hands-on experience with NetSuite (or equivalent tier-1 ERP), Coupa, and Workday.
- Rigorous Project Management: Outstanding stakeholder management skills. You know how to hold both internal teams and external audit partners accountable to dates without damaging relationships.

Bonus Points If You Have

- Experience working in both a major public accounting firm and a fast-growth corporate SaaS environment.
- Direct experience managing and preparing India statutory financial statements and navigating complex local Indian audits.

Fostering a diverse, welcoming and inclusive environment is important to us. We work hard to make everyone feel comfortable bringing their best, most authentic selves to work every day. We celebrate our talented Relics’ different backgrounds and abilities, and recognize the different paths they took to reach us – including nontraditional ones. Their experiences and perspectives inspire us to make our products and company the best they can be. We’re looking for people who feel connected to our mission and values, not just candidates who check off all the boxes.

If you require a reasonable accommodation to complete any part of the application or recruiting process, please reach out to resume@newrelic.com.

We believe in empowering all Relics to achieve professional and business success through a flexible workforce model. This model allows us to work in a variety of workplaces that best support our success, including fully office-based, fully remote, or hybrid.
