The growth of the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform is powered by a thriving partner ecosystem of global system integrators, consultancies, and technology partners. As the EMEA Regional Partner Enablement Lead, you will play a central role in scaling that ecosystem.

Working closely with regional leadership, partner teams, and global enablement, you will translate business priorities into world-class learning experiences that accelerate partner readiness and drive measurable ecosystem growth. You will operate at the intersection of strategy and execution — building programs that expand certifications, deepen technical expertise, and enable partners to successfully deliver data and AI transformation for our customers. This is a highly cross-functional role within a fast-growing, high-performance team that recently tripled the number of trained partners in EMEA through innovative learning models and scalable enablement programs.
