About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Databricks Partnership Narrative: Own the messaging and content that defines MinIO's role in the Databricks ecosystem across AIStor Table Sharing, Delta Sharing, Unity Catalog, Apache Iceberg™, and Delta Lake. Translate joint engineering work and architectural integration into co-marketing assets, reference architecture content, and customer-facing narratives that position Databricks as the hero with AIStor as the enabling data platform. Navigate across Product and Marketing across both companies to ensure that MinIO features and capabilities are tied to the newest capabilities and offerings from Databricks.
Executive Presence: Be the face of MinIO's marketing efforts for the Databricks partnership, representing the joint story at industry events, on webinars, in analyst briefings, and in executive conversations with Databricks and customer leadership.
Hybrid Analytics Positioning: Develop the technical and business positioning for AIStor Table Sharing as the bridge between on-premises data and Databricks cloud compute. Make the case for zero-copy, in-place data sharing as a required capability for enterprises with data sovereignty, time sensitivity, or scale constraints that keep critical datasets on-premises.
Cross-Audience Translation: Translate value across the seam between infrastructure and data teams, the two organizations that own the buying decision but don't always speak the same language. Build messaging that helps storage and infrastructure leaders bring a tangible win to their data team counterparts, and vice versa, and that gives Databricks AEs and MinIO reps a co-sell motion that covers both sides of the customer organization.
Partner Co-Marketing: Partner with Databricks marketing, product, and field teams to plan and execute joint launches, joint content, joint events, and co-branded technical assets. Align launch cadence and messaging with Databricks roadmap milestones and major moments like Databricks Data + AI Summit. Build durable co-marketing programs that drive pipeline for both companies.
Solutions Marketing for Vertical Use Cases: Build solutions content for the verticals where regulated or high-gravity on-premises data meets active Databricks footprint. Primary focus on financial services, healthcare and life sciences, manufacturing, and federal and public sector. Expansion into telecommunications, retail, automotive, and energy and utilities as the partnership matures. Each vertical becomes a defensible, field-ready story anchored in real customer outcomes.
Field Enablement for Joint Selling: Build and deliver the enablement content (battlecards, talk tracks, customer presentations, technical briefs, one-pagers) that lets MinIO sellers and Databricks AEs, Solutions Architects, Partner Solutions Architects, and Field CTOs confidently co-sell into hybrid analytics opportunities. Articulate the joint commercial value for Databricks account teams: every on-premises table unlocked through AIStor is net-new Databricks compute consumption.
Product Launch Execution: Drive the GTM strategy and execution for AIStor releases that touch the Databricks ecosystem. Coordinate cross-functionally with Product Management, Engineering, Field, Sales including Channel Partners, and Communications to land launches that move pipeline and resonate across our technical champions and buyer personas.
BDR and Demand Generation Support: Partner with the BDR team to build outbound sequences, post-event follow-up programs, and inbound nurture tracks targeting Databricks-centric accounts. Equip the funnel with the right messaging at every stage.
