About the Role

Databricks is seeking a Senior Staff Product Operations Manager to serve as the chief architect of our internal operational ecosystem. This is a high-leverage leadership role embedded within Engineering, designed to orchestrate the complex intersection of technical innovation, product lifecycle maturity, and global Go-to-Market (GTM) acceleration.

In this capacity, you will move beyond the management of existing processes to lead the creation of a formal Operational Association. You will be responsible for designing the high-fidelity frameworks that allow our engineering organization to remain agile while ensuring that every product investment is data-driven, transparent, and rigorously aligned with our long-term commercial strategy. This role is purpose-built for a strategic thinker who excels at navigating the "gray space" between a deep technical roadmap and the sophisticated financial requirements of a global enterprise platform.

Impact

• Operational Orchestration: Define and govern the strategic engagement model between Engineering, Product, and GTM, ensuring that product lifecycle milestones are seamlessly integrated with field readiness and revenue velocity.

• Investment Intelligence: Act as a critical advisor to executive leadership, applying a consultant’s rigor to evaluate business investments. You will analyze resource allocation, unit economics, and the opportunity costs inherent in scaling a world-class Data and AI platform.
