  • Orchestrate cross-functional teams to maximise impact across your ecosystem
  • Own the consumption narrative, using demand plans to surface high-value use cases in each account
  • Stay customer-centric by delivering both technical and business outcomes through the Databricks Intelligence Platform

What we look for:
