Summary of the Role

Databricks is growing – fast! We need a highly organized, flexible, detail oriented and enthusiastic person to join our Amsterdam team as our Office Manager. As the first face of Databricks, this person sets the tone for how guests, clients, and team members start their day. We’re looking for someone with a positive, outgoing attitude, a knack for stellar first impressions, and a passion for creating a fun, social, and engaged office environment.


With our main base in San Francisco, we expanded to Amsterdam in early 2017 to further grow our engineering organization.
