While candidates in the listed location(s) are encouraged for this role candidates in other locations will be considered.

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.

This is a builder role for someone who wants to own outcomes not tickets: the person will sit inside the processes they are automating ship working solutions in weeks rather than quarters and carry them through adoption pairing hands-on technical delivery with the change management discipline needed to make new ways of working stick.

The impact you will have:

• 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. Act as the recognized process owner who is accountable for how the process performs not just how it is documented.
• Requirements & solution design. Translate pain points raised by requesters approvers buyers and AP into structured requirements and solution designs. Work within the Finance Data Strategy governance framework for data definitions source-of-truth alignment access controls and quality standards solutions must tie to certified Finance data not shadow datasets.
• 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. Build in production-adjacent environments with appropriate guardrails rather than standalone tools users must remember to visit.
• 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. Maintain sandbox-to-production discipline consistent with Finance Data Strategy and SOX/control requirements.
• 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 and report against them in existing operating rhythms (e.g. quarterly business reviews) with numbers that tie across reports and to source data.
• 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; produce launch communications FAQ/help content and go-live announcements in a style consistent with executive reporting norms (concise structured blockers called out explicitly); run feedback loops with change champions across subsidiaries; and actively identify and mitigate resistance rather than assuming usage will follow deployment.
• Day-to-day prioritization. Run the intake and backlog for automation and data requests across Procurement: triage incoming asks prioritize by value effort and risk publish a visible roadmap and make defensible trade-off calls daily protecting capacity for transformation priorities while handling operational requests.
• Stakeholder engagement. Partner closely with Procurement operations the Finance Data team the CIO org and managed services partners; represent Procurement in Finance Data Strategy governance forums; and ensure automation work lands coherently alongside parallel workstreams (expense platform migration BrickBuy rollout Global Procurement Policy adoption managed services transition).

What we look for:

• 48 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 including how transactions approvals and master data flow between them.
• Experience operating within a data governance framework: certified data sources data quality standards access controls and audit/SOX considerations comfortable moving fast without going around governance.
• Change management fluency: track record of driving adoption of new tools or processes through training communications champion networks and adoption metrics not just deploying and moving on.
• Strong prioritization judgment and stakeholder management: able to run a busy intake say no with a rationale and communicate crisply to audiences from frontline requesters to executives.
• Experience in a high-growth multi-entity organization (multiple subsidiaries/geographies) is a plus; formal change management certification (Prosci ADKAR or equivalent) or process improvement certification (Lean/Six Sigma) preferred but not required.
