We are looking for a Strategic Account Executive to join our Travel, Transport, Hospitality & Logistics (TTLH) team in the UK, to make the most of the phenomenal market opportunity that exists for Databricks within the UK rail and public transport sector.

You will co-develop a strategic account plan with your team and ecosystem partners that accelerates customer success and exceeds quarterly and annual usage and booking goals

You will lead your team, customer and partners to identify impactful big data and AI use cases, and prove out their value on the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform

A strong understanding of the hyperscaler ecosystems and a proven ability to position Databricks alongside them, coexisting with and complementing a customer's wider cloud strategy

Experience co-selling and scaling your business with Cloud Vendors (AWS, Azure and Google Cloud teams) and Global Solution Integrators (GSIs)

The resilience and patience to drive progress in large, complex organisations with long decision cycles, and the drive to make things happen
