• Build exceptional value with all engagements to guide successful negotiations to close
• Orchestrate and work with teams to maximise the impact on your ecosystem
• Own the consumption story with your customers, using demand plans to identify the most viable use cases in each account to maximise Databricks’ impact.
• Be Customer focused by delivering technical and business results using the Databricks Intelligence Platform

What we look for:

• Strong background in growth & new business development, closing experience and quota over-achievement when selling to public sector accounts
• Experience of Public Sector procurement frameworks and mechanisms
• Sales experience within Cloud software, open source technology, or Data and AI space
• Experience driving successful adoption of usage-based subscription services (SaaS) and co-selling with AWS, Azure and Google Cloud teams
• Understanding of how to identify all key uses cases and buying centres in an opportunity to increase the impact and business value of Databricks in an organisation
• Methods for co-developing business cases and gaining support from C-level Executives
• Experience of building effective champions, collaborative teams and partnerships to support execution of your territory plan.
• Understanding of consumption based land and expand sales models
• Experience of following robust sales methodologies and process, e.g. account planning, MEDDPICC, Value Selling and accurate forecasting
• We value demonstrated contributions and a consistent track record
