This role is an individual contributor role and opportunity for a flexible, financially-minded professional to navigate a global landscape.

You have a solid grasp of payroll accounting principles and the General Ledger. * Mindset: You are flexible and thrive in an environment where processes are not always set in stone. You are comfortable switching between different operating models and regions. * Curious: You are naturally curious and don't take things at face value. You ask "why," dig into the details to understand the root cause of discrepancies, and are eager to learn how complex mechanisms (like shadow payrolls) work. * Global mindset: You think beyond your office. You are culturally aware and flexible enough to work across different time zones when the business requires it. * Team player: You are collaborative and communicative. You realize that payroll is a team sport, and you are ready to jump in and support colleagues during peak times. You are able to work across timezones.  * Systems: Strong preference for experience with Workday and the Workday payroll module.

The Senior Manager, Close & Consolidations, that we’re looking to add to the team will lead Databricks’ global close and consolidation process as we continue to scale. This is a hands-on, builder-oriented role responsible for overseeing the global close process across Finance, driving close discipline and accountability, and executing the global consolidation process. This role will be reporting to the Senior Director of Accounting.  Close quality is non-negotiable. Success in this role requires strong operational execution, sound technical accounting judgment, and the ability to maintain a big-picture view across entities, regions, systems, processes, and teams. You’ll provide leadership with clear updates on close status, risks, and delays, ensure issues are escalated and resolved timely, and help design how the close process should operate in the future. You’ll also play a key role in our SAP implementation and help build an offshore operating model that supports scale while maintaining strong review, judgment, and accountability. The impact you will have: * Own and drive the global close process across Finance, including key milestones, dependencies, status updates, risks, delays, and escalations. * Drive AI and automation adoption across the close and consolidation process, including automated intercompany eliminations, AI-assisted consolidation variance analysis, and leveraging Databricks to improve data quality, reduce manual journal entries, and accelerate close cycle times. * Execute and own the global consolidation process across monthly, quarterly, and annual close, ensuring the consolidated books are complete, accurate, timely, and audit-ready. * Lead consolidation-related activities, including allocations, cost plus, eliminations, revaluation, intercompany activity, consolidated trial balance review, hedging and related technical close matters. * Own functional currency assessments for new and existing entities, including evaluating operational impacts of currency designations, monitoring for triggering events that may require reassessment, and ensuring foreign currency translation and revaluation are executed accurately across the global close. * Explain quarterly financial statement fluxes, including key drivers, for Auditors and Accounting/Finance leadership. * Support new entities, acquisitions, and changes in corporate structure by ensuring close, consolidation, intercompany, and reporting impacts are understood and operationalized. * Own chart of accounts structure and governance, ensuring the account structure supports scalable close processes, reporting needs, controls, and future-state operations. * Lead and develop team members; set clear expectations, coach through the work, and raise the bar on ownership, review quality, and timeliness. * Partner with our Transformation team to redesign close processes, reduce manual work, improve data quality, strengthen controls, and accelerate close timing. * Play a key Accounting role in the SAP implementation, including close and consolidation process design, chart of accounts structure, testing, data readiness, cutover, and post-go-live stabilization. * Partner cross-functionally with FP&A, Technical Accounting, Tax, Treasury, Finance Systems, and broader Finance teams to resolve close issues at the source. What we look for: * Experience: 8+ years of progressive accounting experience, including direct ownership of close and consolidation processes across multiple entities, currencies, and regions. * Leadership: 2+ years of people management experience, with a track record of setting high standards, coaching through complex accounting matters, and driving accountability across teams. * Credentials: CPA, SOX experience, and Bachelor's Degree in Accounting or Finance required. * Technical Accounting: Deep U.S. GAAP expertise covering consolidation, intercompany accounting, foreign currency translation and revaluation, allocations, cost plus, eliminations, hedging, and functional currency assessments. * Systems & ERP: Experience operating in a large ERP environment; SAP experience required. Prior ERP implementation experience strongly preferred. Comfort working with large datasets, system reports, reconciliations, and close management tools. * The Automation Mindset: Hands-on experience deploying or evaluating AI tools in a finance or accounting context, with a point of view on where automation creates real leverage in a close and consolidation environment versus where judgment and oversight remain critical. Familiarity with data platforms like Databricks is a strong plus. * Ownership & Mindset: High ownership, low ego, detail-oriented, fast-moving, direct communicator, and calm under pressure. Builder mindset — equally comfortable executing hands-on work and designing scalable future-state processes. * Scale & Agility: High-growth technology company experience strongly preferred. Experience building, managing, or partnering with offshore/shared-services teams is strongly preferred.   Pay Range Transparency Databricks is committed to fair and equitable compensation practices.
