Founded in 2021, we are an ambitious, and fast-growing company in the aviation industry, driven by a commitment to innovation and excellence.

We're looking for a Revenue Accounting Manager to join our Finance team in Riga, Latvia. This is a critical leadership role where you'll drive the financial integrity of our revenue operations across all distribution channels and ensure accurate, efficient, and compliant revenue recognition in a fast-paced, low-cost airline environment.

You'll lead a small, high-performing revenue accounting team while implementing lean processes, automation, and strong internal controls that protect revenue and support agile financial decision-making. This is a permanent, full-time, office-based role where you'll own our end-to-end revenue accounting function - from payment reconciliation to complex ancillary product accounting.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Leading and developing a revenue accounting team focused on productivity, accuracy, and lean process improvement;

• Overseeing accurate and timely revenue recognition across fares, ancillaries, taxes, and refunds aligned to internal reporting timelines;

• Owning end-to-end payment reconciliation processes to ensure all sales transactions match to payment provider data - resolving mismatches, chargebacks, and settlement discrepancies;

• Managing revenue accounting across all distribution channels (website, mobile app, OTAs, third-party resellers) with strong cost awareness;

• Owning and optimizing revenue accounting systems (Accelya, Navitaire) to support scale, automation, and low processing costs;

• Establishing robust revenue controls and leading proactive leakage identification and recovery;

• Partnering with external and internal auditors to ensure compliance and resolve audit queries;

• Collaborating across Sales, Digital, Commercial, Operations, FP&A, and e-commerce teams to ensure revenue processes are clean, simple, and well-integrated;

• Identifying and driving automation initiatives that reduce manual touchpoints and improve data quality.
  

What We're Looking For:

• Professional accounting qualification;

• Extensive experience in airline passenger revenue accounting with specific exposure to low-cost airline models;

• Strong hands-on knowledge of e-commerce revenue, dynamic pricing, and ancillary product accounting;

• Experience with airline revenue accounting systems (e.g., Accelya, Navitaire);

• Demonstrated ability to design lean, automated, and scalable accounting processes;

• Proven leadership of small to medium-sized teams in high-volume, fast-paced environments;

• Strong analytical skills with the ability to explain variances and identify drivers quickly;

• Knowledge of data analytics tools (Power BI, SQL);

• Fluency in English, both written and spoken.

• Experience in other low-cost or ultra-low-cost carrier environments;

• Familiarity with revenue protection and fraud detection;

• Background in payment systems or settlement processes.

We Offer:

• The sky is the limit - growth opportunity in a dynamic aviation industry;

• Monthly salary ranging from 3800 to 4500 EUR (Gross), based on candidate experience;

• Explore the world with exclusive travel privileges to all Norse destinations, plus discounted tickets with our partner airlines;

• Premium health insurance provided after the probation period;

• Gym and wellness benefit, with co-payment for sports activities after the probation period;

• Modern office in the city center - Novira Plaza;

• Inclusive and diverse work culture we bring together talent from over 40 nationalities.
