Description
Databricks continues to grow organically and through numerous strategic acquisitions. We're looking to scale our M&A engine to handle high-volume and high-complexity deals.
As the Staff Program Manager, you will oversee and lead the "engine room" of our People M&A team, transforming manual workflows, undocumented process, and numerous spreadsheets into a world-class, automated execution machine.
You will bridge the gap between Corporate Development and our functional People teams to ensure every "Brickster" joins with a seamless, error-free experience.
The impact you will have:
- Standardize the Playbook: Operationalize tribal knowledge into a documented, E2E M&A Playbook and Knowledge Hub to eliminate dependency on a small group of experts.
- Drive Automation: Partner with People Tech to design and execute the "Tech Efficiency Roadmap," utilizing automation and AI into our workflows/deal phases.
- Execution Leadership: Lead the People M&A phases of the deal. Manage the complex orchestration of recruiting, IT onboarding, and HR operations from deal disclosure through Day 1.
- Data Integrity: Design and establish "Single Source of Truth" protocols and data ownership matrices to ensure 100% accuracy in employee data across all systems.
- Cross-Functional Partnership: Act as the primary POC of the People team (TA, Benefits, PeopleOps, People Partners, Global Mobility) to ensure the People M&A priorities are roadmapped, tracked and implemented.
What we look for:
- 8+ years of M&A experience
- Speed matters, you don't wait for a playbook; you plan fast, drive alignment and execute
- You're a problem solver, with multiple successful M&A project and process transformations
- Deep technical knowledge of People processes
- Experience designing, scaling, transforming People workflows
- Strategy & planning mindset, execution/delivery, influencing executive stakeholders
