What are the responsibilities and job description for the Revenue Accounting Analyst (ASC 606 & Contract Review) position at Intuitive?
Company Description
It started with a simple idea: what if surgery could be less invasive and recovery less painful? Nearly 30 years later, that question still fuels everything we do at Intuitive. As a global leader in robotic-assisted surgery and minimally invasive care, our technologies—like the da Vinci surgical system and Ion—have transformed how care is delivered for millions of patients worldwide.
We’re a team of engineers, clinicians, and innovators united by one purpose: to make surgery smarter, safer, and more human. Every day, our work helps care teams perform with greater precision and patients recover faster, improving outcomes around the world.
The problems we solve demand creativity, rigor, and collaboration. The work is challenging, but deeply meaningful—because every improvement we make has the potential to change a life.
If you’re ready to contribute to something bigger than yourself and help transform the future of healthcare, you’ll find your purpose here.
Job Description
Primary Function of Position:
We are seeking a highly motivated and detail-oriented Revenue Accounting Analyst to join a fast-paced, growth-oriented organization. This role serves as a critical function across the front-end Order‑to‑Cash (OTC) lifecycle, acting as a key enabler of accurate, scalable, and compliant revenue operations. As a strategic partner to Contracts, Commercial Solutions, Revenue Accounting, IT, and FP&A, this role supports deal structuring, contract review, revenue-related decision-making, contract-to-system translation, and data quality ownership.
