You will conceive practical and creative ways to identify leading talent and invest considerable time activating and engaging passive candidates. You will use data to set benchmarks and metrics to create targeted recruiting strategies while partnering with leadership to build inspired teams.

• Create closing approaches to manage partner expectations through market data

• Lead the business with data to promote future workforce planning decisions and accurate forecasting

• Help Databricks to provide a positive interview experience for all and periodically review experiential data to enhance our offering and drive Diversity and Inclusion in our hiring

What we look for:

• Experience with recruiting for Go To Market professionals, specifically Pre-sales Engineers and Post-sales engineers from Entry level to Director within the software industry.

• Experience building strategic partnerships within the business and cross-functionally, and influencing senior stakeholders with data rather than opinion.

• Experience recruiting across multiple EMEA markets and navigating the local nuances that come with it.

• You will have had success in scaling a high-growth software/Data/AI company and be able to bring your learning from your success to our team.

• Experience serving as a mentor and expert regarding all recruiting-related activities and be comfortable sharing your knowledge within the business and our wider team
