- Proactively identify new AI and data use cases in government operations and feed these insights into Japan’s public sector go‑to‑market, influencing product direction and regional strategy.
- Use a solution‑oriented, value‑based sales approach that links Databricks to measurable outcomes for public services and citizens.
- Orchestrate Databricks’ internal teams and our ecosystem of partners (SI, cloud, and consulting partners) to run effective sales motions and deliver successful customer outcomes.

- Demonstrated ability to navigate complex public sector stakeholder ecosystems, building consensus across multiple departments, budget owners, and decision/approval layers.
- Deep understanding of public sector priorities in Japan, including typical buying processes, buying cycles, decision‑making structures, and the broader ecosystem of partners that support government projects.
- Extensive experience with Japanese government procurement, including familiarity with budget formulation and execution, tender/RFP processes, evaluation criteria, and relevant compliance and security frameworks.
- Strong background in selling usage‑based PaaS/SaaS or data, AI, and ML solutions is highly preferred.
- Solid experience applying structured sales methodologies and processes (e.g., account planning, MEDDPICC, value selling, Command of the Message) to win complex, multi‑stakeholder deals.
- Proven track record of creating strong customer champions and leading collaborative internal and external teams to support implementation and expansion within strategic accounts.
- Clear understanding of how to build a focused partner strategy for the public sector and manage SI, cloud, and consulting partners to jointly win and deliver large, impactful projects.
