FEQ426R758
Databricks is seeking a Field Chief Technology Officer (Field CTO) for the Americas Industries Business Unit to be a senior,
customer-facing technology and business transformation thought leader for our most strategic, often global, accounts in regulated
industries. This individual contributor role sits at the intersection of data and AI strategy, industry transformation, and
executive relationship-building, working closely with C-level leaders to drive multi-year change on the data platform while
representing real-world needs back into Databricks.
IMPACT YOU WILL HAVE:
- Build and maintain trusted-advisor relationships with C-level executives (CIO, CDO, CTO, CISO, business COs) in large US-based
and global accounts, especially in highly regulated industries (financial services, public sector, healthcare, manufacturing).
- Proactively cultivate a strong social and professional network across customer executives, boards, key industry bodies, and
partners, knowing which organizations and forums to engage to open doors with the right stakeholders.
- Shape executive thinking on modern data and AI architectures, with emphasis on Lakehouse and data platform modernization as the
primary lever for long-term Gen AI impact.
- Lead C-level briefings, strategy sessions, and multi-day workshops that connect business outcomes, regulatory constraints, and
operating model change to concrete Databricks-based roadmaps.
- Serve as a deep technical counterpart in the field, maintaining L200–L300 proficiency across Databricks products and being able
to credibly engage architects, data engineers, and data scientists on solution design and trade-offs.
- Generalize patterns from the field into reusable reference architectures, industry blueprints, and best practices for regulated
industries, and share them through blogs, webinars, whitepapers, and conference keynotes.
- Orchestrate the broader ecosystem (cloud providers, GSIs, consultancies, ISVs) around customer objectives, ensuring Databricks
is at the center of multi-year transformation programs rather than isolated projects.
- Partner with Account Executives, Solutions Architects, Industry Leads, and Product Specialists to drive complex, multi-year
sales cycles, securing platform decisions and expansions while influencing ACV and consumption growth.
- Provide structured, prioritized feedback from strategic customers into Product, Engineering, and Field leadership to influence
product roadmap, especially around data, governance, security, and regulated-industry requirements.
- Mentor senior Field Engineering and industry-focused talent, contributing to a pipeline of principal- and CTO-level leaders and
codifying ways of working for complex, regulated accounts.
WHAT WE LOOK FOR:
- 15+ years of experience spanning enterprise technology and consulting, including leading or advising on multi-year data
platform and analytics transformations in large, complex organizations.
- Significant time spent inside a large enterprise software or cloud company (e.g., Microsoft or similar) in roles that required
navigating matrixed organizations and driving change at scale, combined with direct industry exposure rather than a career
spent solely in horizontal software.
- Experience in or with regulated industries (financial services, healthcare, public sector, regulated manufacturing, utilities),
with familiarity with regulatory and compliance considerations affecting data and AI platforms.
- Background that blends:
- Hands-on technology and architecture work on data platforms and analytics.
- Organizational and operating model change (ways of working, skills, governance).
- Executive consulting or advisory, ideally seeing transformations through from strategy to multi-year execution, not only
strategy decks.
- Proven ability to operate as a highly credible peer to C-level executives, driving business-outcome-focused conversations while
also diving deep into technical details when needed.
- Strong, proactive networker who is naturally curious about which associations, councils, and forums matter for a given customer
set, and who uses those networks to create new executive entry points and opportunities.
- Demonstrated longevity and impact in prior roles, with evidence of building and sustaining long-term customer relationships and
programs rather than frequent short stints.
