Global Learning Operations & Governance Manager

Databricks

About The Position

The Global Operations & Governance Manager is a senior, enterprise-level leader responsible for architecting the AI-enabled operating system that powers ENGAGE (aka Training Operations Team) globally. This role establishes and leads the Global Center of Excellence (CoE), designing a scalable hub-and-spoke model that transforms regional execution into predictable, revenue-aligned, and financially disciplined outcomes. This is a enterprise transformation role. You will embed automation, analytics, governance, and commercial rigor into the core of Learning & Enablement (L&E) operations, ensuring ENGAGE scales with consistency, control, and confidence. Why This Role Matters: This is a transformation year for Learning & Enablement (L&E). As learner demand, partners, SKUs, and regions scale, traditional operating models no longer hold. Success requires predictive visibility, automation-first execution, and globally consistent governed operations, not incremental process improvement. This role enables ENGAGE to operate with repeatable economics, convert operational gains into measurable capacity and revenue impact, reduce reliance on manual intervention, and scale with discipline.
