Program Manager, Talent & Leadership Development (AI-Enabled Learning)

Databricks is one of the world’s fastest-growing data and AI companies, transforming how organizations harness the power of their data. The role focuses on building scalable learning systems and designing AI-enabled learning experiences to enhance talent development and employee experience.

Responsibilities:

• Own and scale one or more flagship talent development programs (e.g., career development, manager enablement, onboarding, or top talent acceleration)
• Design and implement AI-enabled learning experiences, including copilots, assistants, mentoring networks, and personalized learning pathways
• Evolve programs from event-based learning to continuous, embedded development in the flow of work
• Partner with HR, business leaders, and technical teams to translate business problems into scalable development solutions
• Facilitate global programs across functions and regions (e.g., onboarding, leadership development)
• Build and experiment with new approaches to agentic learning — using AI agents, automation, and knowledge systems to support employees, managers, and leaders in real time
• Leverage data, experimentation, and analytics to understand skills gaps, adoption, and business impact
• Measure program effectiveness and continuously iterate using product and growth-mindset practices (pilots, testing, and iteration)

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree (or equivalent experience) and 5+ years owning global learning, talent, or people programs in fast-paced or scaling organizations
• Experience building scalable programs (onboarding, manager development, leadership development, or talent acceleration) — not just facilitating workshops
• Strong systems thinker: you design processes and experiences that work for thousands of employees, not dozens
• Demonstrated curiosity and practical use of AI tools (e.g., copilots, knowledge assistants, automation workflows, personalization, or analytics) to improve employee or learning experiences
• Comfortable experimenting and prototyping new solutions with limited resources
• Highly analytical: you use data to prioritize problems, evaluate effectiveness, and drive adoption
• Strong stakeholder management and ability to influence senior leaders
• Clear communicator who can translate business needs into practical, scalable development solutions
• Experience in technology or high-growth environments strongly preferred
