The Lead Engagement Manager delivers measurable impact for Communications, Media, Entertainment, & Gaming (CMEG) customers as well as at the Business Unit (BU) or Regional team level in the Forward Deployed Engineering organisation.

What we look for:

  • 10+ years of leadership experience in Professional Services.
  • Expert-level understanding of PS&T offerings and the ability to customise solutions for complex environments.
  • Proficient thought leadership, increasingly viewed as an external expert in the industry.

  • Expertise in Databricks architecture, ecosystem, and strategic account planning.
  • Ability to travel up to 25-50% as required.
