Partner Sales & Pre-sales Enablement Lead

Databricks is a partner-first company. Our exponential growth is fueled by the success of our partner ecosystem, and this role is crucial to how we scale and leverage that ecosystem to drive non-linear growth through world-class enablement programs.

This role sits within the Partner Enablement team in our Field Engineering organization, whose vision is to activate and accelerate the value our customers get from their data and AI. The Partner Enablement team extends this vision by accelerating the value our partners get from aligning with Databricks. With a partner-first mission across Consulting & Systems Integrators (C&SI), Independent Software Vendors (ISV), and Cloud partners, we align on these priorities:

• Equip partners with the skills to ensure consistently high-quality delivery across the ecosystem
• Grow the size of the partner ecosystem. Accelerate sales excellence with a focus on scaling partner-sourced pipeline generation
• Strengthen partner capabilities in GTM Priorities
• Create a seamless, high-impact learning experience that helps partners find, personalize, and consume the right content

As the Partner Presales Enablement Lead, you will design and deliver enablement that builds genuine presales-level technical proficiency across our partner ecosystem — equipping ISV partners to sell and position their offerings alongside Databricks, and enabling C&SI presales teams (Solution Architects, Technical Account Managers, Sales Engineers, etc.) to scope, demo, and win Data & AI opportunities with confidence. You will translate technical products and features into meaningful business-value messaging while going deep enough technically to earn the trust of a presales audience.

You have an AI-builder mindset and are a self-starter who excels in a high-growth environment. You have strong project management skills to run multi-channel enablement programs, and your success is measured by the impact of your enablement solutions, your cross-functional collaboration, and technical knowledge.

Key Responsibilities

• Design Presales Enablement Programs: Architect enablement programs that build hands-on, presales-grade technical proficiency. In collaboration with Subject Matter Experts, define end-to-end learning paths spanning curriculum, assessments, and success metrics.
• Enable Both ISV and C&SI Presales Personas: Educate ISV partners on how to effectively sell and position their offerings with Databricks, and equip C&SI presales teams to scope, demo, and technically qualify joint opportunities. Ensure Databricks and partner selling teams are enabled and aligned on joint offerings mapped to business outcomes.
