About this role
This is Databricks' bridge between a customer's ambition and a shipped pilot, and it is one of only two genuinely remote India roles in today's edition. You do deep discovery to map a customer's technical and political landscape, scope the value in total cost of ownership and return on investment terms, define the minimum viable product for a pilot, write the PRD that guides the engineering team, and then drive it to delivery. Databricks describes the ideal person as a product thinker and systems thinker who can run a SWOT analysis and define what to build and why, paired with a hands on execution mentality and a willingness to do the unglamorous work. The experience bar is unusually open: 2+ years as a deployment strategist or 2+ years at a high growth startup in a builder or founder capacity, with a 5+ year senior client facing route offered as an alternative.
Who this is for
Databricks states the ideal experience three ways, and any of them qualifies: 2+ years as a Deployment Strategist, or 2+ years at a high growth startup in a builder or founder capacity, or alternatively 5+ years in a senior client facing product or delivery role at a top tier technology company or consultancy. We have recorded the bar as 2+ years because that is the floor the posting sets.
Also required: demonstrated experience in value based scoping (total cost of ownership and return on investment), managing agile software projects and writing PRDs. Strong communication skills, described as opinionated and humble, able to build rapport and drive decisions in days rather than weeks. A product and systems thinking mindset, able to perform a SWOT analysis and understand a competitive landscape. Relentless execution with a hands on mentality, expert at escalation.
What you will do: partner with Account Executives to build C-suite trust, perform deep discovery to map the customer's political and technical landscape, scope the value, define the minimum viable product for a pilot, write the PRD that guides the engineering team, and manage delivery.
⚠️ Two things to weigh carefully. First, location is listed as Remote, India, which makes this one of very few genuinely remote roles on today's board. Second, and directly against that, the posting requires the ability and interest to travel up to 50 percent. Remote here means no fixed office, not staying at home. If relocation is your constraint this role helps; if travel is the constraint it does not.
Honest fit guidance: this is not an engineering role and we have grouped it with the customer facing listings for that reason. There is no coding requirement anywhere in the posting. What it wants is someone who can sit with a large enterprise, work out what is worth building, write it down precisely and push it through. The founder or early startup route in is genuine and rare, so if you have built something from nothing for two years without a conventional title, this posting was written with you in mind.
