About the job

Requirements
  • At least 7 years of experience in sales enablement, product marketing, or a go-to-market or alliances role for a technical data, artificial intelligence, or cloud platform.
  • Deep fluency across data, artificial intelligence, and the frontier-model landscape, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to sellers.
  • Hands-on experience building and shipping content, skills, applications, and processes with artificial intelligence, and leading high-impact programs across motions and seller roles at scale.
  • Expertise across multiple sales methodologies and credibility advising sales leaders on applying them.
  • Cross-functional stakeholder management experience and the ability to influence Directors and Senior Directors as a trusted advisor.
  • Ability to pilot quickly, evaluate results, and iterate.
  • Sound judgment in ambiguous, multi-priority situations and ability to help others apply the company's Culture Principles at scale and through trade-offs.
Responsibilities
  • Own the strategy, plan, process, and enablement engine from onboarding through competitive readiness over a 6- to 12-month horizon.
  • Design programs and sales plays that drive revenue, tie each motion to pipeline, consumption, and win rate, and select the appropriate motion for each goal.
  • Translate product priorities into field-ready positioning, demonstrations, competitive readiness, and deal support within days of a launch.
  • Enable the field to sell with and through go-to-market partnerships and strategic alliances by developing co-sell plays, joint value propositions, and partnership context for deals.
  • Build and deliver enablement at scale using artificial intelligence pipelines, vibe coding, and automation for curated first drafts, as well as learning-management-system and sales tools to distribute content, improve productivity, and track performance.
  • Set the operating rhythm, cadence, metrics, and reviews for others to adopt, and maintain feedback loops with the field and subject-matter experts so friction and lost-deal patterns inform enablement.
  • Prepare the field ahead of major launches and motions, with readiness measured by launch readiness and certification attainment across the target sales population.
  • Drive measurable improvements in qualified use cases, consumption, deal velocity, and competitive win rate.
  • Increase adoption of enablement assets and encourage their use in live customer conversations.
  • Serve as a go-to enablement partner to sales leaders and establish operating rigor that becomes a standard beyond the role's own programs.
Desired Qualifications
  • Value-selling methodology certification, such as Force Management or Command of the Message.
  • Direct experience enabling a strategic alliance or cloud co-sell motion, and knowledge of how co-selling shapes enterprise deals.
  • Experience at a high-growth data or artificial intelligence infrastructure company during a major product launch.
  • Experience building enablement or internal tools with artificial intelligence, such as content pipelines, agents, or AI role-plays.

About the company

Databricks builds cloud software that businesses use to organize data, analyze it, and develop AI applications. Its lakehouse architecture brings the flexible storage of a data lake together with the querying and management tools of a data warehouse. Data engineers prepare and update datasets, analysts build reports, and developers train models or create applications in a shared workspace with controls over who can use the data. The platform runs on Amazon, Microsoft, and Google clouds, and customers pay for computing usage or commit to longer contracts for discounted rates. Databricks was founded in 2013 and is headquartered in San Francisco, California.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Growth supports larger product bets: Databricks reported over 80% yearly growth and a $7 billion revenue run-rate in August 2026.
  • Employees try frontier AI immediately: Databricks says its 12,000 staff received day-one access to September 2026 model releases.
  • Existing customers spend more: Databricks reported over 140% revenue retention in February 2026, after contractions and departed accounts.

What critics are saying

  • Steep valuation: Databricks' August 2026 round valued it near 27 times its $7 billion annualized revenue milestone.
  • A partner controls part of the bill: Microsoft sets Azure Databricks prices and bills those customers directly.
  • Equity needs planned liquidity: Databricks remains privately held, so employee shares lack an everyday stock-market exit.

What makes Databricks unique

  • Governance extends beyond its own engine: Databricks publishes Unity Catalog's core APIs and server as open source.
  • Apps run beside analytics: Databricks' Lakebase combines a Postgres database with its data lake and isolated testing branches.
  • Its roots are in distributed computing: Databricks' founders created Apache Spark, which processes large datasets across many computers.

Databricks to open Abu Dhabi office in February, plans to double 60-strong regional team

Databricks will open an office in Abu Dhabi in February next year, the US data and cloud computing company said, as it looks to tap growth in the Middle East. The office will be formally announced in December. A team of more than 60 people covering the Middle East and Africa from Europe will relocate there. Regional vice president Richard Wylie said Databricks plans to more than double that headcount over the next 12 months, citing the "strong talent pool" in Abu Dhabi. Wylie said the company has "hundreds" of customers in the region, including Etihad Airways and MBC Shahid, and is growing fast in Qatar and Saudi Arabia. In August, Databricks closed a $5 billion funding round at a $190 billion valuation, jointly led by UAE-based investor MGX.

Factory partners with Databricks to bring autonomous coding agents to enterprises

Factory, a San Francisco startup that builds autonomous software engineering tools, has partnered with data and AI company Databricks. Enterprises can now run Factory's software agents, called Droids, with data and models they already govern in Databricks. Factory is available on Databricks Marketplace, and eligible customers can use existing Databricks commitments to buy it. Droids now draw on open weight and proprietary models from Databricks Unity Gateway, and Factory can run on a company's existing infrastructure. "Factory agents, powered by models from Unity Gateway and governed through Unity Catalog, give customers a faster path from code to production," said Ali Ghodsi, chief executive officer of Databricks. Factory is now a Databricks ISV partner and will build on the Databricks Data + AI Platform.

Pricefx partners with Databricks to run AI pricing directly on governed lakehouse data

Pricefx, a pricing intelligence company for B2B enterprises, has partnered with Databricks to let manufacturers and distributors manage pricing directly on data they already hold in Databricks. The company announced the move on October 14, 2026, at its Accelerate 2026 conference in Denver. The native integration aims to cut implementation time and end reliance on stale data. Pricing teams will work from current data, while IT keeps governance through Databricks' Unity Catalog. Pricefx will roll it out in three stages: a data connector, a zero-copy option that keeps data in Databricks, and pricing agents on Databricks Marketplace. The last two are coming soon. "Pricing is where that investment should pay off directly in margin," said Ronak Sheth, chief executive officer of Pricefx.

Tel Aviv's Seemoredata launches Databricks cost optimisation as enterprises seek to fund $2.5T AI spending

Tel Aviv-based Seemore Data has launched early access to its cost optimisation platform for Databricks, targeting enterprises seeking to fund AI initiatives. The startup's context-aware control plane now covers Databricks SQL warehouses, Lakeflow jobs, all-purpose clusters, and AI services. The launch addresses growing demand for AI funding as Gartner forecasts worldwide AI spending to reach $2.5 trillion in 2026. According to IDC, 45% of companies plan to fund AI from existing software budgets. Seemore's platform provides full cost attribution across Databricks workloads and automatically optimises SQL warehouses within customer-set parameters. The company claims its Snowflake customers achieve an average 33% bill reduction and expects comparable results for Databricks users. The service requires only metadata-only access and does not access customer data. It is available for organisations running Databricks with Unity Catalog.
