• As a key member of the Databricks Marketing team, you will design and execute high-impact third-party and partner events that accelerate pipeline, deepen customer relationships, and elevate the Databricks brand.
• In this role, you will translate business goals into an integrated event strategy, partnering closely with Sales, Product, and Marketing to deliver measurable outcomes.

• - Brand & experience effectiveness: Deliver high-impact event experiences that clearly communicate company positioning and drive measurable engagement (e.g., session attendance, booth traffic, meetings, and activations tied to target personas).
• - Integrated event strategy & execution: Transform priority events into fully integrated programs (booth, content, meetings and ancillary events) that present a unified narrative, improve lead quality and increase engagement across the event lifecycle.
• - Program optimization & insights: Continuously improve event performance by applying insights from year-over-year data, attendee feedback, competitive analysis, and conversion metrics to inform planning and investment decisions toward the highest-yield programs.
• - Sales & stakeholder alignment: Establish and scale a repeatable engagement model with Sales and cross-functional partners, resulting in strong pre-event planning, active in-event participation, and timely post-event follow-up, with measurable improvements in stakeholder satisfaction and pipeline conversion.
