Do you want to help solve the world's toughest problems with Data and AI? This is what we do everyday at Databricks.

Reporting to the Head of Public Sector, you will partner with a team of accomplished Data, AI and industry specialists. Your mission will be to promote the use of Databricks across a select group of Public Sector organisations. You will come with an informed and compelling point of view on the Data and Advanced Analytics space which will guide your successful strategy and together with both our teams and partners, allow you to provide exceptional value to our customers within the Local Government and Education sectors.
