    About this role

    (FEQ427R176) As a Field Engineering Manager, you will lead a skilled and motivated team of technical pre-sales Solutions Architects and Solutions Engineers based in Denmark. You will play a key leadership role at the intersection of technology and business, helping the team design value-focused solutions and support growth through effective collaboration with Sales and other partners.

    You will coach your team to communicate complex ideas clearly and accessibly, supporting strategic sales cycles, and building strong partnerships with customers and stakeholders across large organisations. You will also foster a culture where people with diverse backgrounds feel included, supported, and able to do their best work.

    The impact you will have:

    Lead, mentor, and develop an inclusive pre-sales team in Denmark, supporting both performance and long-term career growth. Foster a collaborative culture that reflects Databricks’ values of customer focus, teamwork, and diversity of thought. Partner with Sales to drive solution- and value-based selling, helping customers understand the business impact of our platform.

    Enhance team effectiveness by establishing and iterating on best practices that improve efficiency and focus on meaningful business outcomes. Build trusted relationships with customer executives and strategic partners, acting as a credible advisor on data, analytics, and AI.

    Collaborate across teams—including Marketing, Sales, Product, and Services—to ensure a seamless customer experience and successful implementation. Represent Databricks as part of the regional leadership team and contribute to building our brand and presence in Nordic markets.
