About Snorkel
At Snorkel, we believe meaningful AI doesn’t start with the model, it starts with the data.
We’re on a mission to help enterprises transform expert knowledge into specialized AI at scale. The AI landscape has gone through incredible changes between 2015, when Snorkel started as a research project in the Stanford AI Lab, to the generative AI breakthroughs of today. But one thing has remained constant: the data you use to build AI is the key to achieving differentiation, high performance, and production-ready systems. We work with some of the world’s largest organizations to empower scientists, engineers, financial experts, product creators, journalists, and more to build custom AI with their data faster than ever before. Excited to help us redefine how AI is built? Apply to be the newest Snorkeler!

- Drive improvements in collections and cash flow, particularly with enterprise customers, by partnering cross-functionally to resolve billing and payment issues.
- Build and enhance scalable processes, controls, and systems to support a growing and evolving revenue model.
- Support and help lead the month-end close process, including preparation and review of revenue-related journal entries, reconciliations, and flux analysis.
- Ensure strong GL integrity and GAAP compliance across revenue-related accounts.
- Prepare technical accounting memos, narratives, and documentation to support revenue recognition positions.
- Partner with external auditors during audits and quarterly reviews, including audit support, walkthroughs, and control documentation.
- Develop and maintain internal controls over revenue, including documentation and testing readiness.
- Identify opportunities for process automation and system improvements across billing, revenue recognition, and collections workflows.
- Collaborate cross-functionally to ensure alignment between revenue systems, CRM (e.g., Salesforce), and financial systems.

- Deep experience with project-based, services, or hybrid SaaS revenue models

- Experience with enterprise billing and collections, including improving collection cycles
- Demonstrated ability to operate in ambiguity and build processes from scratch
- Experience preparing technical accounting memos and audit documentation
- Prior experience working with external auditors and supporting audits
