Staff Technical Enablement Specialist, Field Engineering

The EMEA Field Enablement team ensures the Go-to-Market organisation (Sales, Field Engineering & Professional Services) has the processes, skills, and technical capabilities required to engage with our customers across the journey. The ideal candidate has expertise in technical field enablement and adult learning principles, coupled with an understanding of a consumption-based sales motion and a genuine passion for Data and AI technologies. 

In this role, you will provide hands-on leadership to enhance the skills necessary to operationalize and execute learner effectiveness in the field, with a focus on the Field Engineering & Professional Services teams. You will lead cross-functional enablement sessions, whilst leveraging strong programme management skills to look at the business holistically. You will utilise your strategic mindset to adapt and evolve priorities and drive performance and productivity, resulting in the strong cultivation of relationships across the internal technical community. 

This role reports to the Global Director of Technical Enablement for Field Engineering. 

The impact you will have:

• Through a strong grasp of the consumption sales model, you will apply best practices to assess and improve enablement programmes to boost Field engineering productivity.
• Partner closely with Field Engineering leadership, Sales Enablement and other stakeholders to discover, validate, prioritise, and scale technical enablement initiatives. Serve as a trusted advisor to the regional stakeholders.
• Drive global Field Engineering enablement strategy through innovative programmes, covering analysis, design, development, implementation, and reporting oversight.  
• Align programmes with regional strategic priorities to contribute to the global roadmap. Help develop unified enablement programmes tailored to regional audiences while maintaining global relevance.
• Collaborate cross-functionally to keep up-to-date with a fast-evolving Databricks Platform, product, messaging, capabilities, and new processes.

• Possess or be willing to develop reasonable proficiency in foundational Data/AI concepts, such as Lakehouse Architecture.
• Experience supporting and enabling technical audiences in creating complex proofs-of-concept and technical solutions to support customer needs. Prior direct experience in a Pre-Sales role building POCs and technical solutions is a bonus.
