• Leverage both Shared Services, User Education, Onboarding/Technical Services and Support resources, along with escalating to expert level technical experts to build the right tasks that are beyond your scope of activities or expertise
• Create, own and execute a point-of-view as to how key use cases can be accelerated into production, coordinating with Professional Services (PS) resources on the delivery of PS Engagement proposals
• Navigate Databricks Product and Engineering teams for new product Innovations, private previews and upgrade needs
• Develop an execution plan that covers all activities of all customer-facing technical roles and teams to cover the below work streams:
  • Main use cases moving from ‘win’ to production
  • Enablement / user growth plan
  • Product adoption (strategy and activities to increase adoption of Databricks’ Lakehouse vision)

  • Executive and operational governance
• Provide internal and external updates - KPI reporting on the status of usage and customer health, covering investment status, important risks, product adoption and use case progression - to your Technical GM

What we look for:

• 8+ years of experience where you have been accountable for technical project / program delivery within the domain of Data and AI and where you can contribute to technical debate and design choices with customers
• Programming experience in Python, SQL or Scala
• Experience in a customer-facing pre-sales, technical architecture, customer success, or consulting role
