A newly created role to help Databricks create new product categories. As Databricks accelerates its most strategic products, we are investing ahead of the curve in the partner ecosystem that helps our customers adopt them, and we are building a new specialisation function to lead that effort. You will pioneer it across EMEA.
Reporting to: Director, Partner Field Engineering (EMEA).
As the Senior Product Specialist Partner Solutions Architect, you own how our leading System Integrator partners develop deep, market-leading expertise in Databricks' priority products:
Your mandate is to take our leading partners to the highest tier of Centre-of-Excellence product specialisation on these products, and to turn them into independent, market-leading extensions of the Databricks field. Working hand in hand with our EMEA Product Specialist team, you will carry both the deep technical narrative and the business-value and go-to-market narrative that get these products positioned, adopted and scaled through the partner channel. This is a builder's role: you will design the blueprint for a partner product-specialist function that Databricks scales globally, starting in EMEA.
Databricks' priority products are seeing strong momentum across EMEA. Lakebase is one of the fastest-growing additions to our platform, Unity Gateway is newly generally available, and AI/BI + Genie are changing how customers work with their data. As adoption accelerates, our partners are central to helping customers realise value quickly and at scale. Deepening partner expertise in these products is one of the most powerful levers we have to accelerate customer time-to-value, and this role exists to build that capability deliberately and ahead of demand, so our partners lead the market.
Nice to have: System Integrator or consulting background; experience with transactional databases (e.g. PostgreSQL) and application development; experience with LLM gateways, AI governance or AI security; experience running partner specialisation, certification or champion programmes; additional European languages.
The role requires up to 40% travel across EMEA, to partner sites, Databricks offices and key industry events.
