The Databricks IT organization is a product-led team that builds intelligent, scalable systems to make every Brickster’s workday simpler, faster, and more connected. We’re reimagining how employees and managers interact with internal tools; designing a unified, AI-driven experience that integrates data, insights, and workflows across the company. We’re looking for a Senior Product Manager (L5) to lead strategy and delivery for our newly formed People Pod. This role is a "zero to one" initiative focused on building next-generation agentic workflows on top of Databricks to fundamentally enhance internal employee experience tools and extend capabilities far beyond traditional systems like Workday. The Opportunity Managers and employees at Databricks interact with dozens of systems every week, from Workday to performance and onboarding tools, often switching contexts and duplicating effort. This team is responsible for defining and delivering product vision to simplify and unify the employee experience, designing an integrated, intelligent automation layer that sits on top of our systems of record to surface the right tasks, insights, and actions in one place.

Execute and Measure: Define success metrics (adoption, efficiency, engagement, automation accuracy) and use data-driven insights to guide rapid iteration and development within an evolving field. Influence and Collaborate: Report directly to VP of Product in IT and work cross-functionally to align engineering, design, and senior leadership around the automated product vision, evangelizing the roadmap in company-wide productivity and AI discussions. What You Bring 5+ years of product management experience , with a proven track record leading specialized, highly technical, or zero-to-one enterprise and internal product initiatives. Specialist Domain Expertise: Deep background in human resources and people-process functions, specifically with concrete experience in hiring, talent acquisition, employee experience and performance management . Agentic Automation & Advanced AI: Hands-on experience or a strong technical understanding of agentic automation , LLM orchestration, and modern AI-driven workflows to streamline operational bottlenecks. Strategic & Product Thought Leadership: Demonstrated ability to own a product domain end-to-end, linking automation outcomes directly to corporate scaling and employee experience goals. Technical & Data Fluency: Strong understanding of building on advanced data platforms, user-centered design, data-informed development, and modern enterprise governance practices (e.g., RBAC/ABAC). Ambiguity Champion: Highly comfortable leading through extreme ambiguity, managing complex stakeholder landscapes, and collaborating directly with engineering pods to build applications from scratch. Preferred

Qualifications Experience developing custom productivity applications or automation layers on data platforms (such as Databricks). Familiarity with enterprise HR ecosystems like Workday, ServiceNow, or similar core systems of record, specifically regarding their API limitations and integration surfaces. Why You’ll Love This Role This is an opportunity to build one of Databricks’ most visible and innovative internal products, touching every employee and manager. You’ll define how the company experiences its own culture, systems, and data, while shaping a product that directly leverages Databricks’ own bleeding-edge technology.
