Who You Are:

Compensation costs are a key driver of profitability for the data center business given revenues are contracted for 15-year periods and operating costs are passed through to tenants. This role will own the allocation, analysis and reporting of that information across data halls, between construction and operations, recoveries, etc. Within the Data Center team, you are a detail-oriented CPA with a genuine appetite for analysis. You will build and run the allocation models, reconcile them monthly, explain what is driving the numbers, and prepare the support that our accountants rely on to book entries. Over time you will take ownership of share-based compensation calculations and the related disclosures for our financial statements, proxy statements and other filings.

You will be trusted with highly confidential employee compensation information which you will handle with absolute discretion. You will regularly work directly with the Data Center Head of Finance and the Co-Heads of the Data Center business, presenting your analyses and fielding their questions. This role reports to the Head of FP&A – Data Centers, with a dotted-line relationship to the Controller. The ideal candidate is a self-starter with proven analytical skills and the judgment to know when a number needs a second look.

What You’ll Do:

Analysis & Insight

Build and maintain the models that allocate compensation and related costs at the individual employee level to the relevant data halls, projects, departments and legal entities

Analyze the capitalization versus expense split of compensation costs, and the resulting impact on operating cost pass-through, project cost and reported results

Prepare and regularly present monthly budget-to-actual, trend and headcount-driven variance analysis; explain the “why” behind the numbers to stakeholders and business leaders

Model headcount scenarios (hiring plans, transfers, ramp-up of new data halls) and their effect on cost, capitalization and tenant recovery to support budgeting and forecasting

Test the reasonableness of allocation drivers and methodologies, and recommend changes as the business evolves

Provide ad hoc analysis to support Data Center leadership, group finance, lender, tenant and reporting needs

Compensation Allocation & Capitalization

Identify compensation costs associated with construction and other qualifying activities that may be capitalized, and maintain the supporting methodology, driver- or time-based allocations and monthly attestations

Apply and help refine Galaxy’s compensation capitalization framework in accordance with US GAAP (e.g., ASC 360 and ASC 720-10-25-3), documenting conclusions for the Controller, Reporting team and external auditors

Track changes in headcount, role, location and responsibilities (new hires, transfers, terminations, promotions) and reflect them in allocations on a timely basis

Allocate ancillary and overhead costs such as occupancy, technology, T&E, benefits and payroll taxes, using defensible, consistently applied drivers

Share-Based Compensation & Disclosure

Assist with data center share-based compensation calculations (e.g., ASC 718 expense attribution, forfeitures, modifications and allocation to data center entities and activities)

Assist with the preparation of supporting schedules and disclosure drafts for financial statement footnotes, proxy statements and other required filings, working with SEC reporting, Legal and People teams

Close, Reconciliation & Journal Entry Support

Prepare clear, well-documented journal entry support and schedules for the accounting team to rely on in booking compensation, allocation and capitalization entries during the month-end and quarter-end close

Reconcile payroll, benefits and bonus accruals to the general ledger and to allocation models monthly, at the legal entity level, and investigate and resolve variances

Support the Controller’s team on accruals, intercompany and cross-entity charges, and construction-in-progress roll-forwards as they relate to capitalized compensation

Manage and respond to audit and SOX control requests related to compensation allocation, capitalization and share-based compensation

Process Improvement & Automation

Automate allocation, reconciliation and reporting workflows to the extent possible, replacing manual, spreadsheet-based processes with scalable, controlled solutions

Contribute to the configuration and data design of Workday and related systems so that allocation attributes (cost center, project, data hall) flow cleanly from HR through payroll to the general ledger

Document policies, procedures and controls over compensation allocation and capitalization

Partnership

Work hand in hand with the People team on headcount, compensation and organizational data, and on the timing and accuracy of payroll feeds

Partner closely with the Construction, DC Operations, Environmental Health & Safety, Technology, Power, and Growth & Development teams to understand how people spend their time and to validate allocations

Work closely with the Controller’s team, FP&A and SEC reporting on their requests and initiatives

What We’re Looking For:

CPA

Public accounting experience (audit or advisory), followed by 1+ years of experience in an industry accounting or financial analysis role

Proven analytical skills: ability to build models, find the story in large datasets and clearly explain findings to non-accountants

Advanced Excel experience (large datasets, lookups, pivots, reconciliations)

Strong working knowledge of US GAAP, particularly capitalization of internal costs (ASC 360 / ASC 720) and payroll-related accounting

Demonstrated ability to prepare clear, well-supported schedules and journal entry support that others can rely on

Unquestionable integrity and discretion in handling confidential employee compensation information

Strong attention to detail, with the discipline to reconcile and tie out data from multiple sources every month

Intellectually curious self-starter, comfortable navigating ambiguity and building process where none exists

Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the poise and clarity to present analysis to senior leaders and the confidence to say when the data does not support a conclusion

Team-player attitude; able to build credibility across disparate teams

Ability to multitask and meet recurring close deadlines in a fast-paced, high-growth environment

Flexibility to innovate and implement new procedures to improve processes and workflow

Bonus Points:

Experience with Workday (HCM or Financials)

Experience with payroll data and cost allocation models in real estate, construction, energy, telecom or data center environments

Experience with automation or analytics tools (VBA, Power Query, Power BI, Python or SQL)

Experience with cost recovery / CAM or pass-through billing under triple-net leases

Familiarity with SOX controls and public company reporting
