Global Genie Sales Leader

We are looking for a highly strategic and execution-oriented Genie Global Leader to lead a team of specialists responsible for growing the Databricks Genie business globally.

Databricks Genie extends the Data Intelligence Platform into conversational AI through Genie One, delivering a true AI co-worker for non-technical business teams and leaders. By grounding query accuracy in business context through the Genie One Ontology, Genie One enables enterprise decision-makers to effortlessly query, analyze, and extract trusted insights directly from governed enterprise data using natural language. This role sits at the center of a major shift in enterprise architecture as organizations move away from fragmented stacks consisting of legacy BI tools, static dashboards, and separate AI interfaces toward a unified, conversational data platform powered by enterprise context.

You will lead a team of specialists partnering with Account Executives, Solution Architects, and Sales Leadership to help customers modernize their business intelligence, democratize data access across non-technical users, and operationalize conversational AI in production analytics workflows. This role requires both strong sales leadership and the ability to establish and scale a new sales motion across a global field organization.

This is a highly visible global role across Sales, Product, and Engineering, and will help define how Databricks engages business intelligence leaders, data leaders, and non-technical business stakeholders at scale.
