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)

Where to advertise AI jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and communities that reach AI engineers, ML scientists and applied research talent in the UK. 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.

AI Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

AI Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the generative AI, machine learning and applied AI hiring trends shaping UK artificial intelligence careers. Artificial intelligence is creating jobs faster than the market can name them. New roles are appearing every quarter, existing titles are splitting into specialisms, and the technologies underpinning it all are evolving at a pace that makes even last year's job descriptions feel dated. For job seekers, this presents a genuinely unusual challenge. In most industries, career planning means understanding a relatively stable landscape and working out where you fit within it. In AI, the landscape itself is being redrawn in real time. The roles with the most hiring activity in 2028 may not yet have a widely agreed job title in 2026. That's not a reason to feel overwhelmed — it's a reason to get informed. The candidates who thrive in this market aren't necessarily those with the longest CVs or the most credentials. They're the ones who understand the direction of travel: which skills are gaining value, which technologies are driving employer decisions, and how the definition of an "AI job" is expanding well beyond the tech sector. This article breaks down what the UK AI jobs market is likely to look like over the next three years — covering emerging job titles, the technologies reshaping hiring, the skills employers are prioritising, and how to position yourself ahead of the curve rather than behind it.
