As a Senior Technical Program Manager (TPM), you lead the charge in changing how people work with data. You will drive high-stakes, multi-workstream programs that have a material impact on customer success and scalability.

You'll work with a collaborative, customer-focused team that values innovation and creativity, using your skills to create customized solutions to help our customers achieve their goals.

The Impact You Will Have

Architecting Standards: You will install operating rigor (cadence, metrics, reviews) that doesn't just serve one project, but becomes a "gold standard" adopted by other TPMs across the region.
Cross-Functional Synergy: You will lead high-visibility initiatives that require deep collaboration across Product, Engineering, and Marketing, resolving complex misalignments with M6-level Directors that threaten project velocity.
Strategic Risk Leadership: You will manage the change management process for large-scale digital transformations, ensuring that customer organizations are culturally and technically ready to adopt the Lakehouse architecture.
Knowledge Multiplication: You will contribute significantly to the Databricks community by documenting best practices and leading internal training sessions to level up the entire Professional Services organization.

Experience: 8–12+ years leading large-scale technical programs.
Technical Fluency: Advanced technical fluency; 2 Databricks Associate Certifications or 1 Professional-level Certification required within 6 months of hire.
AI Strategy: Proven track record of leveraging AI-enabled tools to optimize large-scale program delivery and cross-functional synergy.
