While candidates in Remote - San Francisco are encouraged for this role, candidates in other locations in U.S. will be considered.

About the Role

You will lead the transformation of Databricks' sales operations as we expand our global salesforce by a factor of two over the next several years. Your job is to transform today's manual, high-touch processes into automated systems - so account splits, territory changes, and tool provisioning occur seamlessly without sellers having to chase anyone down. You'll own the sales ops roadmap end-to-end and manage a distributed team of contractors and employees across the U.S., Costa Rica, and India, supporting thousands of sellers. You report to the Senior Director of Go-to-Market Operations and partner closely with Sales, Finance, IT, and HR leadership.
