2 weeks ago


Council of the City of Sydney, Australia Databricks Inc. Full time

Overview

As a Sr. Deployment Strategist (DS), you are the critical bridge between a customer's multi-million dollar business problem and Databricks' technical solution. You own the entire non‑technical lifecycle of an FDE engagement.

Responsibilities

- Partner with Sales to perform deep discovery, map the customer’s organization, quantify the business value ($10M+), and define the pilot (MVP, success criteria, timeline).
- Act as the CEO of the project by authoring the PRD, prioritizing the engineering backlog, relentlessly managing scope, and acting as the primary hands‑on QA tester.
- Drive the FDE build team via an agile process, manage all stakeholder communications from the C‑suite to individual engineers, and act as the escalation manager to unblock all technical or political issues.
- Own the Day 0 launch, manage the war room, capture user feedback, iterate, and prove the defined business value.
- Scope the ongoing maintenance plan, create customer documentation/training, and leverage your trusted advisor status to identify the next high‑value FDE engagement.

Qualifications

- Executive Presence & Communication: Trusted Advisor with C‑suite gravitas and superb communication skills.
- Product & Strategy Mindset: Product Thinker and Systems Thinker who can perform a SWOT analysis, understand a competitive landscape, and define what to build and why.
- Relentless Execution: Hands‑on mentality, expert at escalation, and willing to do the unglamorous work to get the project done.
- Ideal Experience: 2+ years as a Deployment Strategist or in a builder/founder capacity at a high‑growth startup. Alternatively, 5+ years in a senior client‑facing product or delivery role at a top‑tier tech company or consultancy.
- Proven Skills: Value‑based scoping (TCO/ROI), managing agile software projects, writing PRDs, and willingness to travel up to 50%.
