Pay Range Transparency ## Description Databricks is seeking a Director of Operations and Strategy of FP&A to fundamentally re-imagine and evolve how our global Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) organization operates. Reporting directly to the Head of Finance Data, AI, and Strategy, this leader will serve as a strategic right-hand to FP&A leadership and interface directly with the CFO, the Head of Sales, and other executive stakeholders. This is not a traditional operations role; we are looking for a high-caliber strategist with a fresh perspective who can design the future state of FP&A and personally drive the execution to get us there. You will lead massive, cross-functional programs that embed Data, AI, and modern ways of working into our core financial processes. Crucially, you will champion "Databricks on Databricks"-leveraging our own unified data intelligence platform to eliminate friction, automate workflows, and deliver predictive insights that accelerate our growth. If you possess a blend of elite strategic thinking (e.g., top-tier management consulting) and a proven track record of in-house corporate transformation, this role offers a massive platform for impact. The Impact You Will Have * Strategic Advisor & Design Partner: Serve as a key sounding board and right-hand to senior FP&A leadership to design organizational strategies, optimize corporate ways of working, and align financial planning with company-wide growth goals. * Transform FP&A with Databricks: Lead the charge in changing how FP&A operates by embedding the Databricks platform, AI, and machine learning into core finance workflows-moving the team from descriptive reporting to scalable automation and predictive analytics. * Drive High-Stakes, Cross-Functional Execution: Design and execute against complex, large-scale initiatives across Finance, IT, Engineering, Product, and Go-to-Market (GTM). * Executive Visibility & Communication: Own the narrative. Run FP&A leadership forums, orchestrate the OKR and Quarterly Business Review (QBR) processes, and deliver high-impact executive communications to the CFO, Head of Sales, and other top-level leaders. * Commercialization & Scale: Provide a strategic lens on commercialization and scale, ensuring financial processes seamlessly support evolving product strategies, pricing models, and GTM motions. ## Related Videos - [Fault Tolerance and Consistency at Scale: Harnessing the Power of Distributed SQL Databases](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1146-fault-tolerance-and-consistency-at-scale-harnessing-the-power-of-distributed-sql-databases) - [Cutting LLM Costs Without Cutting Quality: How to Beat Proprietary LLMs with Fine-Tuned Open Source](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100151-cutting-llm-costs-without-cutting-quality-how-to-beat-proprietary-llms-with-fine-tuned-open-source) - [Enjoying SQL data pipelines with dbt](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/823-enjoying-sql-data-pipelines-with-dbt) - [OLTP in the Lakehouse: Redefining Data for AI Workloads](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2038-oltp-in-the-lakehouse-redefining-data-for-ai-workloads) - [TiDB, One Layer at a Time: How Distributed SQL Became an Agentic AI Backbone](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100117-tidb-one-layer-at-a-time-how-distributed-sql-became-an-agentic-ai-backbone) - [From Messy Queries to Scalable Systems - How Data Engineering actually works](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100203-from-messy-queries-to-scalable-systems-how-data-engineering-actually-works) ## Related Articles - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Data Engineer Salary UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/253-data-engineer-salary-uk) - [Data Analyst Salary in the UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/278-data-analyst-salary-in-the-uk) - [Making Data Warehouses Fast: A Developer’s Story](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/107-making-data-warehouses-fast-a-developer-s-story) - [Data Analyst Salary in Switzerland](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/276-data-analyst-salary-in-switzerland) - [Data Analyst Salary Austria](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/275-data-analyst-salary-austria)
