The Impact You Will Have
Drive the technical and consumption strategy for the organisation's most complex customer engagements, directly influencing platform adoption and revenue growth.
Own senior-level technical relationships — serving as a trusted advisor on enterprise data and AI strategy
Lead the most complex architecture engagements: multi-workload platforms, enterprise-wide migrations, real-time systems, and AI/ML at scale
Operate as an Expert on the Databricks Platform with a declared archetype — actively mentoring others and driving horizontal impact across your team
Develop and execute competitive strategies for your customers, positioning Databricks against incumbent and emerging platforms
Orchestrate cross-functional teams (DSAs, SSAs, Partners, Product) to deliver enterprise-grade solutions

Expert-level Databricks Platform knowledge (or equivalent depth in competing platforms with demonstrated rapid learning ability)
Declared technical specialisation with recognised depth — e.g., real-time architectures, ML/AI platforms, data governance, large-scale migrations, or industry-specific solutions
Proven track record of driving consumption growth and platform adoption in large accounts
