ROLE The Senior Director of Finance exists to own the quality of planning, the integrity of numbers, and the clarity of reporting that s leaders run the business on. is a multi-line, portfolio-backed business that scales its finance function through systems and automation rather than headcount. The challenge is not complexity for its own sake. The challenge is building a finance organization that delivers trusted numbers, audit-ready operations, and decision-grade reporting while staying deliberately lean. This is a player-coach role. You will build the model, run the analysis, and get into the numbers yourself while developing the leaders beneath you. Beyond the core function, you provide financial oversight across a portfolio of investments and outsourced partner relationships, and you serve as a thought partner to the President and CFO on capital allocation and tax strategy. You report to the President and CFO and lead a small, high-leverage finance team. RESPONSIBILITIES - Own budgeting, forecasting, and long-range planning that leadership actually steers by, and the reporting architecture that makes the business legible from the executive level down to each unit's economics. - Run a clean, compliant, audit-ready accounting function: GAAP close, revenue recognition, consolidations, financial operations, and a successful first external audit. - Serve as the finance partner to operating businesses, bringing rigor to unit economics and performance where the company creates its value. - Oversee liquidity, financing relationships, the investment portfolio, and outsourced partner interfaces; recommend and execute on capital allocation and tax strategy in partnership with the President and CFO. - Set the target state for the finance technology stack and data environment, and drive the function toward it. - Lead a deliberately lean finance organization, developing direct reports into stronger operators and multiplying capability through systems, automation, and standards rather than headcount. REQUIREMENTS - Proven ownership of FP&A and the reporting architecture in a multi-entity environment, with plans and forecasts that leadership actually used to run the business. - Led a finance function through a GAAP close and external audit, including revenue recognition, consolidations, and the controls framework that makes them defensible. - Experience as a hands-on finance partner to operating businesses, with demonstrated ability to sharpen unit economics and drive performance at the business-unit level. - Judgment that travels: the ability to oversee investments, liquidity, and partner relationships without running them, and to turn analysis into capital allocation decisions for executive audiences. - Track record of modernizing or building a finance technology stack and using systems and automation to increase the function's capability. - 12+ years of progressive finance leadership, including direct management of finance leaders across multiple disciplines, with a player-coach disposition: equally credible building the model yourself and leading the people who will. CPA, CFA, or MBA preferred. RESULTS - Plans, forecasts, and financials are accurate, on time, and actively used to run the business. - The company completes its external audit with strong controls, documentation, and governance across all entities. - Liquidity, financing, and the portfolio are managed proactively, and capital allocation recommendations are well-modeled and cleanly executed. - Leadership and every business unit see the numbers that matter, on a cadence they can count on. - The finance function's capability grows with the business through systems, automation, and leverage, not headcount, and its leaders grow faster than their roles. SCHEDULE - Standard business hours with flexibility to support close cycles, audit periods, and executive planning cadences. LOCATION - Remote, USA COMPENSATION: - $225,000 - $250,000 base salary + bonus - The salary range may be inclusive of several levels that would be applicable to the position. Final salary will be based on a number of factors including, level, relevant prior experience, skills, and expertise. This range is only inclusive of base salary, not benefits (more details below).

ACQ CORE VALUES: Our core values are the heart and soul of this incredible company. The right person for this role will appreciate each of these values, personally subscribe to them, and understand why each is critical to having a great business. COMPETITIVE GREATNESS Be at your best when your best is needed. Enjoyment of a hard challenge. Those who have the drive to constantly improve, the superior intellect and long term commitment to see incremental improvements become compounding returns. SINCERE CANDOR Have the self awareness to accurately perceive and communicate hard truths that improve others and self, the courage to do so, and the humility to accept them, even when it hurts. Nothing great can be built without feedback: internally or externally. UNIMPEACHABLE CHARACTER Be the type of person with whom people are always proud to associate, personally and professionally. We look for true alignment of thoughts, words, and actions towards a goal worth pursuing.

At Databricks, we are passionate about enabling data teams to solve the world's most challenging problems — from making the next mode of transportation a reality to accelerating medical breakthroughs. We do this by building and running the world's best data and AI platform, enabling our customers to use deep data insights to improve their businesses. Our ability to execute this mission depends on building trust and recognition within an ever-growing community of data engineers, analysts, scientists, machine learning practitioners, and AI practitioners.Databricks’ Developer Relations team is looking for a leader to manage our Developer Advocates, shape how we bring the Data + AI Platform to life, and lead technical content and experiences that drive product adoption. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in the spotlight, brings deep Databricks expertise, and gets even more satisfaction from helping other advocates grow into it.

As the Developer Advocate Manager for Databricks, you'll lead the team that advocates for our commercial platform and serve as a crucial link between our engineering teams and the broad community of data professionals building their careers on Databricks. Your team's remit spans the full arc of what practitioners actually do on the platform: ingesting and moving data with Lakeflow, building and governing pipelines and tables with Unity Catalog and Delta Lake, warehousing and analytics with Databricks Lakehouse and AI/BI, and building agents and AI applications with Genie Agent, Genie Code, Lakebase, and Databricks Apps. You'll be as comfortable talking to a data engineer debugging a pipeline as to an analyst building their first AI/BI dashboard and Genie One.

This role will leverage your expertise in building and scaling a developer relations team to educate, inspire, and support a rapidly growing user base. You'll translate product roadmaps into developer-ready content and community programs, and coach your team on building a content flywheel — where a single demo, video, or talk becomes the source of truth for a dozen derivative assets rather than a one-off deliverable. You'll also help the team apply AI thoughtfully as a force multiplier across their workflows, raising output without ever lowering the technical bar.

Your responsibilities will encompass both team leadership and a wide range of knowledge-sharing activities. You'll lead by example: delivering engaging talks, hosting panels and meetups, creating blogs and video content, developing courseware, answering questions in community forums, and meeting one-on-one with influential data engineers, analysts, and scientists.

Community engagement will be at the heart of your role. You'll work closely with the Databricks community and with product and engineering teams, ensuring that user needs and product development align seamlessly. Reporting directly to the Head of Developer Relations, you'll collaborate with fellow DevRel managers across our Open Source, App Dev, and DevRel Programs teams to create a cohesive and impactful developer relations strategy.

The ideal candidate embodies the values of our Developer Relations team: a deep passion for data and AI, genuine empathy for developers' needs, and a strong commitment to explaining our products clearly and honestly.

More about the DevRel team

The Developer Relations (DevRel) team at Databricks is dedicated to building and fostering relationships with communities of data practitioners.

Our team also owns programs like the Databricks MVP program, the user group program, and DevConnect roadshows.

The impact you will have

• Own developer relations for the Databricks Platform end-to-end — set the strategy, define what success looks like, and be accountable for the outcomes.
• Hire, level, and grow a team of Developer Advocates, and take real ownership of their careers: clear expectations, honest feedback, and a visible path forward.
• Establish repeatable advocacy approaches — content flywheels, demo standards, event playbooks — that the rest of DevRel can adopt and replicate.
• Build a team of strong storytellers who can make a complex platform feel obvious, and who scale their work through the community rather than through sheer volume.
• Represent the practitioner community inside R&D at the product-area level, turning community friction into a documented, prioritized roadmap change.
• Drive awareness and adoption of Databricks technologies through your own speaking at industry events and conferences, and by getting your team on the right stages.
• Guide the creation of high-quality educational content — videos, sample notebooks, datasets, tutorials, courseware, and blog posts — that meets a high technical bar.
• Expand and nurture the Databricks community by growing meetups and user groups and supporting practitioners in online communities.
• Apply AI-assisted workflows to increase your team's leverage while maintaining technical depth and originality.
• Define and defend meaningful success metrics for a DevRel team, and explain them to executives.

What we look for

• 8+ years of combined experience in developer relations or developer advocacy and in a hands-on technical role — software engineer, data engineer, solutions architect, or similar.
• 2+ years managing and growing a developer relations team, including hiring, leveling, and promoting advocates.
• You have done the work yourself. You've written the posts, built the demos, given the talks, and sat in the forums — and you can still do all of it.
• Demonstrated ability to set and execute a developer relations strategy for a product area, not just run a content calendar.
• Subject matter knowledge of solving data engineering, data science, and data analytics problems at scale, and an understanding of how business users consume the results.
• Comprehensive understanding of the Databricks Data + AI Platform and ecosystem — you can give the demo and use the product the way a practitioner would.
• Working knowledge of Databricks capabilities such as Lakeflow, Unity Catalog, Delta Lake, Databricks Lakehouse, AI/BI Dashboards, Genie, Genie Agents, and Databricks Apps.
• A genuine passion for growing people and building strong teams.
