Mission

As a Product Adoption Project Manager, you will lead design and execution for critical programs across Databricks Sales and Field Engineering.

The Impact you will have:

• Translate strategic priorities into actionable, measurable GTM programs.
• Align cross-functional teams around shared goals and core selling motions.
• Drive execution across GTM, R&D, and Commercialization with clear workstreams and ownership.
• Integrate change management and risk mitigation into program delivery.
• Track KPIs and collaborate on measurement, reporting, and insights.
• Promote efficiency through standard cadences, process improvements, and reduced silos.
• Communicate progress and iterate based on stakeholder feedback and evolving needs.

What we look for:

• 3+ years of experience in program or product operations, project leadership, or GTM roles in high-growth tech environments.
• Proven ability to lead complex programs at scale in fast-paced, data-driven settings.
• Strong communication skills with a talent for simplifying complex topics for diverse audiences.
• Operational mindset with experience in system-level design and process improvement.
• Skilled in change management, stakeholder engagement, and remote collaboration.
