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).

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.
