Revenue Operations Manager

About the role

Databricks bills customers on usage. Every month, millions of usage records turn into commit drawdowns, invoices and revenue. The Revenue Operations team within Order to Cash organization makes sure that happens accurately and on time.

We’re hiring a Revenue Operations Manager to oversee usage operations and improve how contracts move from booking to invoicing. A key focus is Universal Commitment, our cloud-agnostic commit model. Reporting to the Senior Manager of Revenue Operations, you’ll lead key month-end close activities for our billing and rating platform, oversee a team based in India, and drive process and automation improvements across Revenue Operations.

You'll work closely with the Order to Revenue Process Compliance team. That team sets usage policy, leads root-cause analysis and owns governance. Your team carries out the work: applying adjustments, keeping usage and billing in balance, and making sure each correction is documented, reviewed and fully reflected in our systems.

• Act as the Revenue Operations owner of the refund and credit process, from intake, and validation through execution.
• Approve or deny account provisioning requests (suspend, unsuspend, grace-period extensions) with the Network Operations Center (NOC).
• Oversee usage tracking for customers with special provisions and non-standard language in their order form.

• Act as preparer and/or reviewer for assigned SOX controls (e.g., usage reconciliation and SKU pricing accuracy) and keep audit evidence ready.Align with RevOps team to continue to improve recon process by assimilating processes across all clouds. Oversee Universal Commit contract reconciliation to ensure completeness.

Team leadership and scale

• Lead and develop the GBS usage team (India). Set priorities, review work, and steadily expand team ownership.Write, maintain and centrally store SOPs for every recurring process, and make sure each critical close task has a trained backup.
• Use SQL and Databricks dashboards to automate reconciliations and reduce manual effort, working toward touchless billing.

Cross-functional partnership
