Neon
Chicago, IL

FEQ326R485

Reporting to the Director of Field Engineering for Financial Services, the Field Engineering Manager will lead a team of pre-sales Solutions Architects (SA) focusing on the customer acquisition motion in the Financial Services vertical. You will expand and develop a dynamic team skilled in enterprise software, big data/analytics, data engineering, data science, AI and Machine Learning. Your experience partnering with the sales organization will help close revenue opportunities with the right approach whilst coaching new sales and pre-sales team members to work together. You will guide and get involved to enhance your team's effectiveness; be an expert at communicating complex, business value-focused solutions; support complex sales cycles, and build relationships with key stakeholders in large corporations.

The impact you will have :

  • You will hire, train, and grow a team of Solutions Architects for a company in high-growth mode.
  • Consistently meet or exceed sales targets - by making sure your SA team knows how to qualify accounts, especially from a technical perspective, identify important use cases, execute and win technical evaluations in favour of Databricks and establish themselves as trusted advisors throughout the customer life-cycle.
  • Make your customers extremely successful with Databricks and provide outsized value to their businesses.
  • Establish relationships across the business cross-functionally (partners, sales, GTM) to make your customers and team successful.

What we look for :

  • 5+ years of experience in the data space with a technical product (i.e. data warehousing, big data, analytics, data engineering, AI or machine learning).
  • Experience in a scalable, customer acquisition motion, by leveraging repeatable assets, establishing partnerships, and ideally in the Financial Services industry.
  • Experience building and leading technical pre-sales teams - hiring, onboarding, and supporting pre-sales professionals in hypergrowth environments; building a territory; up-selling strategic accounts; and exceeding annual quotas.
  • Lead a team through best practices for technical account strategy, architecture discussions, and solution advocacy in a highly competitive and political customer environment.
  • Experience hiring candidates, ramping them up to be successful, and promoting them into larger roles.
  • Create positive morale for the team, establish work-life balance and help foster a healthy and productive working relationship within the team and between Field Engineering, Sales, and other important internal partners.
  • Experience working with other cross-functional teams such as Sales, Product Management, Industry Go to Market and Customer Success.
  • Experience with driving executive alignment in accounts that guides strategic data platform decisions and establish partnerships through adoption and growth.
