• Knowledge of public clouds (AWS, Azure, GCP) with familiarity in data warehousing solutions like Snowflake and Databricks. Proficiency in SQL, Python, R, Apache Spark or similar product or language is a plus.
• Strong knowledge of data analytics, data science, ETL processes, AI/ML workflows, automation, and model deployment within cloud environments. Proficiency in using Alteryx or similar data analytics tools is highly desirable.
• Experience setting up data connectivity for both on‑prem and cloud sources, including ODBC configurations for on‑prem systems and OAuth/SSO‑based integrations for cloud platforms.
• Demonstrated ability to handle complex selling situations, involving multiple departments and levels of the organization (i.e., Line of business, C‑suite, IT, etc.).
• Ability to handle a fast‑paced environment and continuously re‑prioritize while maintaining a constant focus on participating in the sales process.
