In this role, you will own product marketing for Databricks application development including Databricks Apps and the developer tools for building AI-powered applications and agents. Reporting to the Senior Director of Product Marketing, you'll define and execute the strategy that wins developer mindshare, drives adoption, and generates pipeline. Partnering closely with product, engineering, sales, and marketing, you'll turn product innovation into clear narratives for developers and the teams that support them, along with compelling customer content, targeted campaigns, and high-impact product launches.

- Build and land content and collateral across developer, sales, partner, and demand generation channels, including technical content, demos, campaigns, and events
- Create an always-on go-to-market plan and pilot new programs that drive developer adoption, product-led growth, and pipeline
- Partner closely with product and engineering teams to plan and execute launches, from private preview through general availability
- Work with field marketing, developer relations, industry, events, and partner teams to scale reach globally
- Build trust with customers and share their stories of building and shipping data apps and AI agents in production
What we look for:
- 8+ years of technical product marketing experience at an enterprise software, developer tools, or cloud platform company
- Deep understanding of developers and the app development lifecycle, including the people who build with these tools (application developers, full-stack and backend engineers, platform teams) and the people who buy them
- Experience with AI and machine learning technologies, especially building and deploying AI applications and agents
- Familiarity with modern app development concepts such as web frameworks, APIs, databases, and serverless or cloud-native platforms
- Portfolio of impactful marketing content, sales enablement materials, and always-on GTM programs
