At Databricks, our core principles are at the heart of everything we do; creating a culture of proactiveness and a customer-centric mindset guides us to create a unified platform that makes data science and analytics accessible to everyone.

As a Sr. Field Technical Program Manager at Databricks, you will be a key driver in our Forward Deployed Engineering team's mission to accelerate and de-risk customer outcomes. Your role is central to achieving project goals and maintaining exceptional customer satisfaction, particularly within our U.S. Government customer base.

## The Impact You Will Have

- Individually deliver on commitments by producing high-quality deliverables, status reports, program plans, and customer responses that require minimal rework.

- Effectively manage all aspects of a program, including scope, schedule, budget, risk, and resources, with a focus on technical complexity.

- Act as the primary point of escalation for customers regarding technical delivery issues and, as needed, escalate to other parts of Databricks for rapid resolution.
