Job description

At Databricks, we are passionate about enabling Data and AI teams to solve the world's toughest problems — from making the next mode of transportation a reality to accelerating the development of medical breakthroughs. We do this by building and running the world's best Data and AI infrastructure platform so our customers can use deep data insights to improve their business. Founded by engineers — and customer obsessed — we leap at every opportunity to solve technical challenges, from designing next-gen UI/UX for interfacing with data to scaling our services and infrastructure across millions of virtual machines. And we're only getting started.

We’re seeking an experienced Workforce Manager (WFM) to own capacity planning, real‑time management, and performance analytics for our 24×7 global Support organization. You’ll shape staffing strategy for hundreds of Technical Support Engineers (TSEs) who resolve complex cloud, data‑platform, and enterprise SaaS issues. Your mission: deliver the right staffing, with the right skills, at the right time—consistently hitting SLA and CSAT targets while optimizing cost.

• Forecasting & Capacity Planning: Develop short-, mid-, and long-term workload forecasts by analyzing historical ticket volumes, upcoming product releases, seasonality, marketing initiatives, and other demand drivers. Convert demand forecasts into detailed staffing plans segmented by region, shift, and time zone. Collaborate closely with Data Science and Finance to align forecasts with headcount budgets.
• Scheduling & Capacity Optimization:Lead quarterly and monthly shift scheduling, including weekend rotations, on-call assignments, and holiday coverage. Ensure optimal staffing to meet demand while balancing employee preferences and business needs.
• Analytics & Continuous Improvement: Design and maintain Workforce Management (WFM) dashboards to monitor key performance metrics such as forecast accuracy, agent utilization, occupancy, schedule adherence, shrinkage, and cost-per-case. Conduct root cause analyses for SLA breaches and implement cross-functional corrective actions with Support, Engineering, and Product teams. Benchmark internal performance against industry standards to drive continuous improvement.

What we look for:

• 5+ years in Workforce Management for a technical or omnichannel support environment (B2B SaaS preferred)
• Proven expertise with CRM/ticketing systems (Salesforce Service Cloud, Zendesk, JIRA)
• Comfortable presenting to executives; able to distill data into actionable recommendations
• People‑first mindset with experience leading analysts or schedulers
• Advanced Excel/Google Sheets; SQL or Python for data manipulation; BI tools (Looker, Tableau, PowerBI)
• Bachelor's degree in a related field (EE, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering)
