Databricks Learning & Enablement upskills data and AI teams worldwide so customers, partners, and employees can best leverage Databricks to drive business outcomes. We are hiring a Global Delivery leader to lead our global team and to evolve how we deliver training for an AI-first world. You will own staffing strategy and instructor readiness across our FTE and authorized training partner (ATP) workforce, run an AI-first delivery operation, and advance the shift from traditional, catalog-based instructor-led training toward customized, customer-specific delivery. This role is the right fit if you lead from data, develop best-in-industry instructors, and want to reshape a delivery model rather than just run it.

What it asks for · 10

  • Technical bar: Demonstrated depth in data, analytics, and AI and the Databricks platform; Databricks certification preferred.
  • Workforce and capacity planning: Balances an employed and partner instructor workforce against forecasted demand by skilling area, language, and location.
  • Data fluency: Uses utilization, instructor quality scoring, CSAT, and coverage data to direct the team and defend resourcing decisions.
  • AI-first operating model: Applies AI across the delivery operation, including forecasting, scheduling, instructor prep, assessment, and instructor enablement.
  • Instructor development: Designs and runs instructor development and train-the-trainer programs, and evaluates delivery effectiveness.
  • Multiple years of people-leadership directly managing technical instructors, including a global, multi-region team.
  • Experience across the full training lifecycle: design, delivery, and evaluation.
  • A track record building and scaling instructor capacity across both employed and partner or contract workforces.
  • Proven technical depth in data, analytics, and AI; Databricks certification preferred.
  • May occasionally support selling the training offering to customers; this is secondary to the staffing, skilling, and delivery-model mandate.

How this page was made

An automated read of a public job posting, fetched August 25, 2026 and last changed by Databricks on August 18, 2026. Every list above is pulled from the posting’s own sentences — nothing rewritten, nothing added, no judgment about the role or the company. Counts and seniority are read off the text by rule, so they can be wrong where the posting is unusual. The original is the only thing that binds. Openings close without warning; check the source before spending an evening on it.
