Interim Contract-to-Cash (C2C) Manager for German PE-Backed Software Company (Immediate Start)

We are supporting a PE-backed software company in its search for an Interim Contract-to-Cash (C2C) Manager to stabilise its billing and revenue operations following a recent carve-out and system transition. Following its separation earlier this year, the business is focused on resolving contract migration issues, reducing a significant invoicing backlog, and restoring reliable day-to-day Contract-to-Cash operations. The successful candidate will lead an established team of approximately 10 professionals, working closely with the incoming Head of Finance to stabilise operations and improve execution.

This is a hands-on operational leadership role for someone with strong Contract-to-Cash expertise and experience in software, SaaS, subscription, or professional services environments.

The engagement is expected to start immediately, run full-time for approximately three to four months, and is fully remote. Proximity to Frankfurt is beneficial but not required.

• Reduce the invoicing backlog and restore timely, accurate billing operations.

• Bring structure, accountability, and operational discipline to the existing C2C team.
• Partner closely with the incoming Head of Finance and cross-functional stakeholders to improve operational performance.
