Job Description: 

Intel is an industry leader and a catalyst for technology innovation and products that revolutionize the way we live. Our purpose is to create world-changing technology that improves the life of every person on the planet. Intel is in the midst of a transformational journey to deliver on its ambitious strategy, which includes significant manufacturing expansions and the creation of a foundry to serve internal and external customers, while focusing on our technology leadership on process and product development.

The Revenue and Rebate Technical Accounting Manager is a technical accounting and accounting policy role within the Revenue Rebates Global Process Organization (GPO). This position serves as a subject matter expert on U.S. GAAP revenue recognition, with primary responsibility for applying, interpreting, and advising on ASC 606 for complex, non standard revenue and rebate arrangements.

The position plays a critical advisory role in supporting business decisions, ensuring accounting outcomes are compliant, consistent, and well documented for internal and external stakeholders, including auditors.

In addition to deep technical accounting expertise, the role embraces modern transformation as an enabler of stronger accounting outcomes. This includes influencing and partnering on scalable solutions, such as AI or LLM based tools, that assist in contract analysis, identification of ASC 606 risks, and consistent application of accounting guidance. The role does not own IT delivery but translates accounting policy and judgment requirements into clear, actionable needs for technology and data partners.

• Lead or support accounting consultations, documenting conclusions and coordinating reviews with external auditors (EY) where applicable.

Transformation Enablement (Accounting Led)

• Partner with Systems, Data, and Technology teams to translate accounting policy and judgment requirements into scalable enablement solutions.

• Contribute accounting expertise to initiatives leveraging AI or LLM based tools to analyze contracts and transactional data for ASC 606 risks and accounting implications.

• Help define accounting driven requirements, controls, and outputs for automated or semi automated revenue analysis tools, while maintaining audit ready documentation and oversight.

Stakeholder and Audit Engagement

• Serve as a key point of contact for external audit discussions related to revenue and rebate accounting conclusions.

• Support management inquiries, executive reviews, and internal control considerations related to revenue recognition policy and application.

• Provide coaching and technical guidance to accounting teams to strengthen ASC 606 acumen across the organization.

Behavioral Competencies

• Technical Credibility and Judgment: Demonstrates confidence and sound judgment in applying complex accounting guidance to ambiguous fact patterns.

• Consultative Mindset: Approaches stakeholders as a trusted advisor, balancing technical rigor with practical business understanding.

• Clarity and Influence: Communicates complex accounting concepts clearly to non accounting audiences and influences outcomes through logic and evidence.

• Ownership and Accountability: Takes responsibility for driving issues to resolution while maintaining high standards of precision and documentation.

• Collaboration: Works effectively across Accounting, Finance, Sales, Legal, Systems, and Audit to achieve compliant and scalable accounting outcomes.
