About the company
Databricks is executing a multi-year Procure-to-Pay transformation spanning an expense management platform migration, the BrickBuy enterprise procurement portal, a managed services onboarding, and policy and process redesign initiatives. This role sits embedded within Procurement — not in a central IT or analytics function — and operates in accordance with the Finance Data Strategy governance framework to drive rapid P2P process transformation by designing, deploying, and scaling automation and data solutions directly within business workflows.
Responsibilities
- Business process ownership. Own designated P2P sub-processes end to end — intake-to-PO, invoice exception handling, supplier onboarding, expense workflows — including process mapping, baseline metrics (cycle time, touch rates, exception volumes), and redesign.
- Requirements & solution design. Translate pain points raised by requesters, approvers, buyers, and AP into structured requirements and solution designs.
- Embedded automation. Design, deploy, and scale automations directly within business workflows and the systems where work actually happens (ZIP, SAP, NetSuite, expense platform, BrickBuy) — including AI/LLM-assisted triage, auto-routing, data enrichment, exception auto-resolution, and notification/nudge logic.
- Rapid iteration. Operate on a ship-measure-iterate cadence: release minimum viable automations in weeks, instrument them from day one, and refine based on usage data and user feedback.
- Data & measurement. Build and maintain the P2P datasets, dashboards, and metrics that the transformation runs on — cycle time, Fast Pass performance, first-pass yield, policy compliance, automation coverage, and adoption rates.
- User adoption & change management. Own the adoption of what you build. Design role-based training and enablement for affected requesters, approvers, and P2P operations staff.
- Day-to-day prioritization. Run the intake and backlog for automation and data requests across Procurement.
- Stakeholder engagement. Partner closely with Procurement operations, the Finance Data team, the CIO org, and managed services partners.
Requirements
- 4–8 years in data analytics, process automation, or operations roles within P2P, procurement, or finance — with demonstrable examples of automations or data products you built, shipped, and scaled yourself.
- Hands-on technical skills: SQL and Python (or equivalent), workflow and integration tooling (iPaaS, RPA, or native platform automation), and dashboarding/BI. Experience building on the Databricks platform and applying LLM/AI tooling to business workflows is a strong plus.
- Working knowledge of P2P systems and data — ERP (SAP or NetSuite), procurement intake/orchestration platforms (ZIP or similar), and expense management tools.
- Experience operating within a data governance framework: certified data sources, data quality standards, access controls, and audit/SOX considerations.
- Change management fluency: track record of driving adoption of new tools or processes through training, communications, champion networks, and adoption metrics.
- Strong prioritization judgment and stakeholder management.
- Experience in a high-growth, multi-entity organization is a plus; formal change management certification (Prosci, ADKAR, or equivalent) or process improvement certification (Lean/Six Sigma) preferred but not required.
