Specific responsibilities include responding to a variety of international and U.S. customer questionnaires, RFQs, RFIs, registration, supplier, and onboarding forms, and the like – for new and current customers.

The ideal candidate will be an expert at coordinating with cross-functional teams and subject matter experts worldwide to ensure timely and compelling responses that align with Databricks’ global strategy, compliance requirements, and internal policies.

We are also looking for someone with commercial GenAI-driven automated strategic response management experience, including automation for streamlining the answer process; creating and/or maintaining a knowledge base of questions and answers; and creating enablement focused on educating internal customers (e.g., field sales) on the program/process.

As the Global RFx program evolves, so will the role and responsibilities.

• Manage multiple assignments simultaneously while maintaining a high standard of quality and meeting tight deadlines.

• Routinely identify and recommend opportunities to change and improve ways of working.

Requirements:

• Outstanding interpersonal and communication skills

• Three or more years of experience working as the primary proposal management resource for RFx, due diligence questionnaires, and vendor onboarding questionnaires.

• Familiarity with analyzing RFx and questionnaire requests to create tailored, compelling responses.

• Strong understanding of the tools used by in-house commercial legal teams to facilitate the contracting process for revenue, including tools used for contract generation and routing (e.g., SFDC, CPQ, and CLM), and signatures (e.g., DocuSign).
