  • Lead solution development with partners: co-create differentiated, industry-specific joint solutions, accelerators, and repeatable GTM plays that pair partner capability with the Databricks platform to solve high-value Manufacturing & Energy use cases.

  • Run a disciplined operating cadence: pipeline reviews, forecast, and KPI inspection anchored to Salesforce as the system of record; report impact, not activity.

  • Own the executive relationship and narrative: build joint business plans and executive-ready narratives, and represent Databricks credibly to senior partner and customer leadership.

  • Experience developing joint solutions with SI/ISV partners: translating industry use cases into repeatable, differentiated offerings.
