Senior Revenue Accountant

GAQ327R297

Databricks is looking for a Senior Revenue Accountant to join our team. You will report to the Senior Manager of Revenue Accounting and play a hands-on role in the full accounting close cycle for revenue recognition — from executing on non-standard contract terms identified by Revenue Assurance, to performing UATs on new system logic, to preparing financial reporting deliverables for internal and external stakeholders.

• Support financial reporting. Prepare key metrics, financial statement disclosures and ad hoc analyses for management, ensuring accuracy and timeliness in a dynamic reporting environment.
• Collaborate across functions. Partner with Revenue Operations, Deal Desk, Billing, FP&A and FDS teams to implement systematic processes and automation that support scalability and new business initiatives.
• Support the audit with con
