Do you want to help solve the world's toughest problems with big data and AI? This is what we do every day at Databricks.

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.

What we look for:

* Experience developing strong relationships with large enterprise accounts, managing virtual teams and leading complex sales campaigns in major transport, infrastructure or public sector accounts is preferred * 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 * Experience working in Big Data, AI, Cloud or SaaS industries * Proof of exceeding sales quotas in high-growth enterprise software companies * Experience driving usage and commit-based engagement models and strategies, working with professional services and training teams * Experience co-developing business cases and gaining support from C-level executives * Experience of value-based selling
