Job summary

Databricks is seeking an experienced leader to own end-to-end workforce transformation engagements with its largest customers. You will diagnose current workforce state, define changes, build the transformation plan, and drive execution until adoption sticks.

You are accountable for each engagement, not a contributor to someone else’s project. You will run 2 to 3 concurrent engagements, spanning short assessments to deep embedded transformations, across multiple organizational layers.

Qualifications

• 8 or more years leading workforce or organizational transformation in a technology adoption context.
• Led conversations with C-suite or VP-level sponsors and influenced organization-wide adoption of technology.
• Executed transformations with hands-on delivery experience, not just curricula.
• Able to assess workflows, identify changes, and design capability pathways.
• Strong understanding of change management, sponsorship models, adoption curves, resistance patterns, and building internal champions.
• Comfortable with ambiguity and building playbooks as you go, not executing a mature one.
• Comfortable with commercial conversations, including engagement scoping and pricing input.
• Familiarity with data and AI platforms and enterprise adoption challenges.

Responsibilities

• Own the full transformation lifecycle for each customer, from workforce assessment through capability pathways, operating rhythm, and measurement.
• Manage 2 to 3 concurrent engagements across different formats, with a mixed portfolio.
• Design for multiple organizational layers within a single engagement, including executive sponsorship with CDOs, CIOs, and CHROs.
• Drive execution by standing up operating rhythm, coaching internal champions, and removing adoption barriers.
• Design the human-agent collaboration model for each customer’s workforce, distinguishing human vs. automated or agent-led paths.
• Shape engagement scoping and pricing to ensure commitments are deliverable.
• Turn learnings into repeatable tools and playbooks that scale beyond practitioner-led delivery.
• Partner with deployment, AI transformation, and account teams to ensure post-land success.

Job description

CSQ327R12

Enterprise customers are investing in AI, but most are stuck between a successful pilot and real organizational adoption. The gap is not technology. It is whether the workforce can change how it works.

You will own end-to-end workforce transformation engagements with Databricks’ largest customers. You will diagnose where a customer’s workforce is today, define what needs to change, build the transformation plan, and drive execution until adoption sticks. You are the directly responsible individual for each engagement, not a contributor to someone else’s project.

The Impact You Will Have

• Own the full transformation lifecycle for each customer, from workforce assessment through capability pathways, operating rhythm, and measurement. You build the plan and you execute it.
• Run 2 to 3 concurrent engagements across different formats. These range from short-cycle assessments (2 to 4 weeks) to coached transformations (8 to 12 weeks) to deep embedded engagements (12 to 16 weeks). You will manage a mixed portfolio simultaneously.
• Design for multiple organizational layers within a single engagement. That means building executive sponsorship with CDOs, CIOs, and CHROs while also architecting the manager enablement and individual contributor adoption layers underneath.
• Drive execution, not just planning. You will stand up the operating rhythm, coach internal champions, unblock adoption barriers, and adjust the plan when reality diverges from the model.
• Design the human-agent collaboration model for each customer’s workforce. Assess workflows and distinguish what should stay human from what should be automated, agent-assisted, or fully agent-led. Design differentiated pathways for builders in technical roles and users in workflow roles.
• Shape how engagements are scoped and priced. You are closest to the work and will ensure that commercial commitments are deliverable.
• Turn what you learn into repeatable tools and playbooks that can scale beyond practitioner-led delivery.
• Partner with technical deployment, AI transformation, and account teams. Other teams build and land the solution. You own what happens after.

What We Look For

• 8 or more years leading workforce or organizational transformation in a technology adoption context. You have executed transformations and owned outcomes, not just designed programs.
• You have led conversations with C-suite or VP-level sponsors and influenced how organizations adopt technology at scale.
• You have done the work, not just designed a curriculum about it. The strongest backgrounds include customer-side data or engineering leaders who drove transformation, former solutions architects or engineers who moved into transformation roles, and consultants with hands-on delivery experience.
• You can assess a workflow, identify what needs to change, and design the capability pathway to get there.
• You understand change management, including sponsorship models, adoption curves, resistance patterns, and how to build internal champions.
• You are comfortable with ambiguity. You will be building the playbook as you go, not executing a mature one.
• You are comfortable with commercial conversations, including engagement scoping, pricing input, and ensuring delivery commitments are realistic.
• Familiarity with data and AI platforms and the enterprise adoption challenges they create.
• A background in professional services, management consulting, or customer success is a plus.
• Experience measuring behavior change tied to business value, not just completions or satisfaction scores, is a plus.
