At Databricks, we are obsessed with enabling data teams to solve the world’s toughest problems by partnering with the ISVs that drive innovation across every line of business. We enable our partners to bring deep intelligence into the critical workflows their customers rely on every day, from delivering real-time CRM behavioral insights to optimizing complex HR workforce planning. We do this by building and running the world’s best data and AI infrastructure platform, so our customers can focus on the high-value challenges that are central to their own missions.

Founded in 2013 by the original creators of Apache Spark, Databricks has grown from a tiny corner office in Berkeley, CA to a global organization with over 8,000 employees. Thousands of organizations, from small startups to Fortune 100, trust Databricks with their mission-critical workloads, making us one of the fastest-growing SaaS companies in the world and one of the top 5 move valuable private companies.

As the Partner Development Manager, Business Application Partnerships, you will be responsible for developing, managing, and scaling our global partner ecosystem that makes Databricks the best place to run data-and-AI-intensive workloads central to core enterprise Line of Business operations. You will build and own strategic partnerships with a set of top ISVs across CRM/CSM, HCM, Finance, ERP — building joint solutions, co-creating joint GTM plays, and helping our field and customers realize the value of combining Databricks with leading Business Application partners.

We are looking for someone who has previously managed Business Application ISVs at a hyperscaler or worked at a leading Business Application ISV. The role demands both technical and GTM acumen — able to work with Product and Engineering teams on integrations, as well as with Sales and Marketing teams on go-to-market execution. It is a fast-paced, cross-functional role requiring strong communication, prioritization, and presentation skills, and the ability to quickly context-switch between product, engineering, and field conversations. Success will require deep subject matter expertise in large-scale technology ecosystems, coupled with a scrappy, entrepreneurial spirit to build partnerships that establish Databricks as the best place to run Business Application workloads for years to come.

• Build and own comprehensive, end-to-end partnership business plans for a portfolio of top-tier ISVs, integrating GTM strategies, product innovation roadmaps, and marketing initiatives to deliver measurable business outcomes.
• Lead the end-to-end lifecycle of top ISV partnerships in the Business Applications category, from joint business planning to solution development and execution.
• Drive enablement and field readiness to ensure both Databricks and partner teams can effectively position and deliver these joint offerings.
• Serve as the internal voice of top partners in category, collaborating with Product, Sales, and Marketing leadership to influence our roadmap and ensure our strategy addresses the evolving needs of the Business Application landscape.
