AWS Cloud Partner Solutions Architect — EMEA

7% YoY , the largest hyperscaler-driven consumption book in EMEA after Microsoft. You are the named Databricks counterpart that the AWS field (PSAs, PDMs, SAs) routes opportunities to, the convener of the EMEA AWS SME community, and the author of the "better-together" technical narrative for Databricks on AWS. You will engage AWS field and partner leadership, Databricks Field Engineering, and joint customer account teams to drive adoption and consumption of the Data Intelligence Platform on AWS — through executive alignment, large-scale partner enablement, joint product contribution, and multicloud architectural arbitration in our most strategic EMEA accounts.

Reporting to: Director, Field Engineering (Partner Solutions Architect). What the role owns: AWS-sourced pipeline EMEA AWS consumption growth — act as the single EMEA-wide SPOC for the AWS field. 86M target .

The EMEA AWS SME community — convene and grow the cross-EMEA group of AWS-deep SAs/SSAs/PSAs (~15–20 members across UKI, France, Spain, Italy, Benelux, Nordics, MEA, Germany). Land the ASQ-scope expansion (SWAT pattern) and run the joint operating cadence with the Databricks TFC at AWS. This is the mechanism that scales the role from single-person execution to field-distributed delivery.

Partner enablement at scale — sustain the training engine that feeds pipeline 2–3 quarters out (300+ AWS Solutions Architects trained in EMEA in FY26; 50+ Databricks xSAs to AWS SA-Associate at zero net cost via the AWS Partner Training ↔ Databricks L E channel; 0-to-GenAI workshops, Lakehouse Days, regional meetups). Maintain the AWS Field Engineering Playbook. Joint product contribution reference architectures — own the assets that lower time-to-first-DBU and unblock deployments: AWS Marketplace QuickLaunch ("Moonwalk+"), Agent Bricks ↔ Amazon Bedrock automation, the CloudFormation networking package, the AWS data-exfiltration-protection (DEP) architecture, the remote-S3 strict-residency pattern, and the EMEA cloud-consumption dashboard.

Strategic-account unblock multicloud arbitration — lead technical arbitration in EMEA's dense multicloud accounts (BP, EasyJet, Klarna, ABSA, ADIA, Mercedes-Benz, BNP Paribas and others), where a single architectural decision can swing $1M+ ARR. Executive alignment external brand — run QBRs with named AWS regional leaders at BU+1, and be the EMEA technical voice at AWS Summits, DAIS, and Re:Invent EMEA. The impact you will have: Accelerate AWS-sourced pipeline and its conversion to consumption by aligning AWS and Databricks resources and providing the technical expertise to win and expand multicloud accounts.

Shift cloud balance toward AWS across EMEA Diamond and Pearl accounts, protecting and growing Databricks' hyperscaler revenue mix. Grow field-wide AWS capability — through the SME community, certification programmes, and reusable architectures — so AWS depth is distributed across the EMEA field rather than concentrated in one person. Develop and sustain senior AWS executive relationships that surface new opportunities, sharpen competitive positioning, and anchor joint go-to-market.

What we look for: Extensive hands-on experience as a data professional in a modern, cloud-based data stack. Hyperscaler-alliance experience (AWS strongly preferred) with credibility to be the EMEA SPOC for the AWS field and to convene a cross-region SME community. AWS-specific technical depth — PrivateLink, VPC Lattice, IAM, networking/CloudFormation, AWS Marketplace, Amazon Bedrock, and Glue ↔ Unity Catalog federation.
