At Databricks, our core principles are at the heart of everything we do; creating a culture of proactiveness and a customer-centric mindset guides us to create a unified platform that makes data science and analytics accessible to everyone. As a Senior Technical Program Manager (TPM), you lead the charge in changing how people work with data. You will drive high-stakes, multi-workstream programs that have a material impact on customer success and scalability. Your technical expertise and strategic influence will be critical for guiding complex engagements to success and fostering a culture of continuous improvement. You'll work with a collaborative, customer-focused team that values innovation and creativity, using your skills to create customized solutions to help our customers achieve their goals.

The Impact You Will Have

  • Architecting Standards: You will install operating rigor (cadence, metrics, reviews) that doesn't just serve one project, but becomes a "gold standard" adopted by other TPMs across the region.
  • Cross-Functional Synergy: You will lead high-visibility initiatives that require deep collaboration across Product, Engineering, and Marketing, resolving complex misalignments with M6-level Directors that threaten project velocity.
  • Strategic Risk Leadership: You will manage the change management process for large-scale digital transformations, ensuring that customer organizations are culturally and technically ready to adopt the Lakehouse architecture.
  • Knowledge Multiplication: You will contribute significantly to the Databricks community by documenting best practices and leading internal training sessions to level up the entire Professional Services organization.

What We Look For

  • Experience: 8–12+ years leading large-scale technical programs.
  • Technical Fluency: Advanced technical fluency; 2 Databricks Associate Certifications or 1 Professional-level Certification required within 6 months of hire.
  • AI Strategy: Proven track record of leveraging AI-enabled tools to optimize large-scale program delivery and cross-functional synergy.
  • Senior Leadership: Proven ability to engage, influence, and build trust with senior executive stakeholders (CxOs).
  • Scope: Experience successfully managing projects with teams of up to 5 people and contract values in excess of $0.5M.

Where to Advertise AI Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising AI jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool is small, highly informed and in demand across multiple sectors simultaneously. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that AI professionals expect — and the filtering mechanisms they rely on. Specialist platforms, direct outreach and academic channels each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by ArtificialIntelligenceJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise AI roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about time-to-hire across different role types.

New AI Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Reshaping AI Careers

The artificial intelligence job market in the UK is evolving at an extraordinary pace. With record-breaking investment, government backing, and a surge in enterprise adoption, the landscape of AI employers is shifting rapidly. For candidates exploring opportunities on ArtificialIntelligenceJobs.co.uk, understanding who is hiring next is just as important as understanding what skills are in demand. In this article, we explore the new and emerging AI employers to watch in 2026, focusing on organisations that have recently secured funding, won major contracts, or expanded their UK footprint. From cutting-edge startups to global giants doubling down on Britain, these companies represent the next wave of AI career opportunities.

How Many AI Tools Do You Need to Know to Get an AI Job?

If you are job hunting in AI right now it can feel like you are drowning in tools. Every week there is a new framework, a new “must-learn” platform or a new productivity app that everyone on LinkedIn seems to be using. The result is predictable: job seekers panic-learn a long list of tools without actually getting better at delivering outcomes. Here is the truth most hiring managers will quietly agree with. They do not hire you because you know 27 tools. They hire you because you can solve a problem, communicate trade-offs, ship something reliable and improve it with feedback. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many AI tools do you actually need to know? For most AI job seekers: fewer than you think. You need a tight core toolkit plus a role-specific layer. Everything else is optional. This guide breaks it down clearly, gives you a simple framework to choose what to learn and shows you how to present your toolset on your CV, portfolio and interviews.
