Content and Event Technical Leadership: Lead the technical creation of joint thought-leadership content, including webinars, blogs, solution briefs, demo vignettes, and presentations for major industry events (e.g., Data and AI Summit, Data and AI World Tours). Coordinate with Sigma’s Marketing and Demo Engineering teams to ensure high-quality technical representation at all joint GTM activities.
Advanced Solution Development: Identify, design, and evangelize high-value, industry-specific technical solutions leveraging the combined capabilities of Sigma and Databricks, working with internal teams, Systems Integrator partners, and Databricks Industry Leads and Field CTOs to package these solutions for field consumption.
