About the Role

The Sr. Strategy & Operations Program Lead will lead the Accenture Databricks Business Group (ADBG) and build the operating model that powers one of Databricks' most strategic global partnerships. In this role, you will own the governance, portfolio management, and execution cadence for the ADBG, while also overseeing a focused strategic investment program that accelerates joint innovation with Accenture. As the Sr. Strategy and Operations Program Lead of ADBG, your primary mission is to design, launch, and scale the global operating framework that ensures Databricks and Accenture execute consistently, predictably, and with clear accountability across all joint initiatives. As a key extension of this mission, you will also define and manage a targeted partner innovation investment program that is fully integrated into the governance, ensuring that all investments are strategically aligned, operationally sound, and measurable for impact.

Responsibilities

  • ● Establish, operationalize, and programmatize the Accenture BG, including governance structures, operating cadence, and delivery standards for all joint Databricks-Accenture initiatives.
  • ● Maintain an end-to-end, integrated portfolio view covering pipeline, active programs, dependencies, financial performance, delivery health, and risks.
  • ● Lead executive and operational cadences (QBRs, steering committees, exec reviews) to drive decisions, resolve escalations, and ensure alignment across Databricks and Accenture stakeholders.
  • ● Develop and maintain KPI dashboards and reporting that provide clear visibility into revenue, utilization, program status, delivery quality, and customer outcomes.
  • ● Define and roll out standardized tools, templates, and best practices for planning, tracking, governance, and reporting, enabling consistent, scalable execution across regions and industries.
  • ● Work cross-functionally (C&SI, ISV Ecosystem, GTM Strategy & Ops, Business Strategy & Ops, Industry, Legal, Finance, Product) to define a clear strategic investment framework that dovetails with PMO governance, including pillars, guardrails, and decision criteria.
  • ● Ensure that all investments are aligned with Databricks' evolving strategic goals and the broader Accenture BG portfolio.
  • ● Ensure that all investments are structured with clear milestones, owners, and success metrics that plug into PMO tracking and reporting.
  • ● Ensure that all investments are operationalized through existing PMO processes so execution, risk, and outcomes are managed consistently.
  • ● Ensure that all investments are fully auditable, with documented decisions and consolidated reporting via PMO dashboards.
  • ● Partner with Accenture leadership and field teams to source, qualify, and shape investment opportunities, using standardized proposal formats that enable apples-to-apples evaluation by Databricks leadership.

Requirements

  • ● Experienced program management leader who is also a strategic builder.
  • ● Comfortable leading through influence across Databricks and Accenture.
  • ● Motivated by building a foundational, scalable operating engine for one of Databricks' most important partnerships.
