## Description

We are looking for a Revenue Accounting Senior Manager to own a high-impact special projects swim lane focused on some of OpenAI's most strategic and complex growth initiatives, including M&A, and global partnership structures.

This role serves as the Directly Responsible Individual (DRI) for revenue accounting outcomes across these initiatives, ensuring scalable, compliant, and operationally sound revenue reporting.

Key responsibilities include:

- Serving as the Revenue Accounting DRI for strategic initiatives including M&A integrations, and complex partnership arrangements across multiple jurisdictions.

- Partnering cross-functionally with Technical Accounting, Strategic Finance, Legal, Tax, Product, GTM, and Deal Desk to design compliant revenue solutions that support business growth.

- Assessing new commercial models, partnership structures, and contract terms for ASC 606 implications, principal vs. agent considerations, gross vs. net presentation, and revenue disclosure impacts.

- Driving operational readiness for new launches, including process design, systems requirements, controls, and close readiness.

- Supporting diligence, integration planning, and post-close execution for acquisitions with a focus on revenue recognition, customer contracts, and reporting implications.

- Leading revenue reporting conclusions and executive-level communication for these workstreams, ensuring alignment across stakeholders and auditors.

- Identifying opportunities to improve automation, scalability, and controllership readiness as the business expands globally.

You might thrive in this role if you have 8+ years of experience in Revenue Accounting, Technical Accounting, Big 4, or high-growth technology environments.

Deep knowledge of ASC 606 and strong judgment across complex revenue models are also essential.

Additionally, experience supporting strategic partnerships, new business models, M&A integrations, or international expansion is highly valued.

Strong executive presence with the ability to influence cross-functional stakeholders and simplify complex accounting topics for non-accountants is also necessary.

A builder mindset with strong operational rigor and the ability to drive ambiguous workstreams to clear outcomes is also required.

Experience in high-growth environments with a strong bias for action and ownership is also preferred.
