* 7+ years of progressive HR/People experience, with meaningful time spent as a strategic business partner (HRBP or equivalent) in a fast-paced, hyper-growth technology environment * Demonstrated experience directly supporting and influencing VP+ and executive-level leaders – partnering with them on talent strategy, org design, and leadership effectiveness * Track record of owning and delivering complex People programs end-to-end (performance cycles, compensation planning, talent reviews, org restructures)

Strategic Partnership

* Proven ability to connect business strategy to people strategy: you understand how organizational decisions impact business outcomes and can articulate that clearly to leaders * Experience operating at the intersection of multiple People sub-functions (Compensation, Talent Acquisition, L&D, Employee Relations) and coordinating across them to deliver cohesive solutions * Comfort with ambiguity and the ability to make sound decisions when the path forward isn't fully defined

Analytical & Organizational Acumen

* Strong analytical instincts — you're comfortable working with data and can move fluidly between quantitative metrics and qualitative insights to tell a compelling story * Experience identifying organizational health signals (attrition patterns, engagement trends, succession risks) and translating them into actionable recommendations * Familiarity with People analytics tools and dashboards; curiosity about AI-powered tools and a willingness to learn and adopt them

Coaching & Executive Influence

* Demonstrated success coaching senior leaders (VP+) on leadership effectiveness, team health, and navigating organizational complexity * Strong executive presence — you can hold your own in a room of senior leaders, offer a candid perspective, and build trust quickly * Emotional intelligence and sound judgment in sensitive situations

Mindset & Working Style

* Bias for action: you thrive in an evolving environment and don't wait for perfect information to move forward * Collaborative: you see the People Partner team as your first team and actively share insights, resources, and approaches across the group. * Humble and curious: you bring strong convictions loosely held, seek out feedback, and recognize that Databricks' fast-moving culture requires adaptability * AI-forward: you're excited about using AI tools to work smarter, and you bring an "AI-builder" mindset to finding new ways to scale your impact
