Sr. Manager, Developer Relations - DatabricksPosted today$206K

At Databricks, we are passionate about enabling data teams to solve the world's most challenging problems — from making the next mode of transportation a reality to accelerating medical breakthroughs. We do this by building and running the world's best data and AI platform,…

What you'll do

• Own developer relations for the Databricks Platform end-to-end: set the strategy, define what success looks like, and be accountable for the outcomes.

• Hire, level, and grow a team of Developer Advocates, and take real ownership: of their careers: clear expectations, honest feedback, and a visible path forward.

• Establish repeatable advocacy approaches: content flywheels, demo standards, event playbooks — that the rest of DevRel can adopt and replicate.

• Build a team of strong storytellers who can make a complex platform feel: obvious, and who scale their work through the community rather than through sheer volume.

• Represent the practitioner community inside R&D at the product-area level,: turning community friction into a documented, prioritized roadmap change.

• Drive awareness and adoption of Databricks technologies through your own: speaking at industry events and conferences, and by getting your team on the right stages.

What they're looking for

• Guide the creation of high-quality educational content: videos, sample notebooks, datasets, tutorials, courseware, and blog posts — that meets a high technical bar.
• Expand and nurture the Databricks community by growing meetups and user: groups and supporting practitioners in online communities.
• Apply AI-assisted workflows to increase your team's leverage while: maintaining technical depth and originality.
• Define and defend meaningful success metrics for a DevRel team, and explain them to executives.
