Strategy & Execution Manager

SLSQ227R807

The GTM Strategy & Operations team works directly with Databricks' Sales Leadership to accelerate growth across the business. We empower senior leaders with data-driven insights, scalable systems, and operating mechanisms to shape the high-level strategy and execute in an extremely high-growth environment.

We are looking for a Strategy & Execution Manager to serve as the business partner for the EE/Startup leadership team under the AMER Enterprise & Emerging Business BU. This is a critical and visible role to shape the GTM strategy of Databricks' highest-velocity, highest-volume segments, where the operating model has to look meaningfully different from larger-enterprise motions.

In this role, you will conduct in-depth analyses, build scalable systems for stakeholders, own operational cadences for the EE/Startup team, and redesign how strategy and ops work gets done in the age of AI. You must be able to deliver the day-to-day operational work with exceptional rigor, while also never losing sight of the long-term strategy and how the business operating model needs to evolve.

Alongside the EE/Startup leadership, you'll partner across the broader AEEB and StratOps team on cross-segment initiatives, ensuring we maintain collaboration across the BU and share best practices.

The ideal candidate is a self-starter with endless curiosity who can work cross-functionally to tackle complex problems end-to-end. We're looking for someone who is technical, AI-fluent, operationally rigorous, strategic about how high-volume GTM businesses should operate, and biased toward redesigning workflows from first principles rather than maintaining legacy ones.

This is a unique opportunity to reshape how Databricks thinks about high-volume GTM businesses, and to set the blueprint for the industry. The work will define what scaled, AI-native GTM operations look like at one of the fastest-growing companies in tech.
