The job

What you'd do

Sell Databricks' data software to a short list of big manufacturing companies, working with their IT leaders and top decision makers. You'll win new customers and keep selling more to the ones you already have.

What you'd sell

Helps companies put all their data in one place and use it

When a company wants answers from its data, the numbers usually sit in dozens of separate systems. The problem is, pulling them together takes weeks, and by then the answer is old. Databricks keeps a company's data in one place where teams can run reports and build AI on it, so decisions get made on fresh numbers.

In plain English, from their own job posts. Something wrong? Tell me · More AI & data companies →

Who you'd sell to

Heads of IT, top executives in each department, and project managers at big companiesIn their words: “Meet with CIOs, IT executives, LOB executives, Program Managers, and other important partners”

Where deals come from

Mostly you. Expect a lot of outbound: cold calls, emails and LinkedIn.

The Braun Read

Ask hard questions

Too much is left unsaid. Make them answer before you invest.

Pay: No pay listed at all.
Transparency: Says nothing about quota, attainment, deal size, territory or sales cycle. Ask about all five.
Time on market: Open 2 days.
Company hiring: Ramping up: posted 39 sales roles in the last 30 days. That many open roles can also mean churn. Ask how many reps are still there from last year.

Red lights

Pay. No pay listed at all.

Green lights

Pays more past quota. Higher commission rates once you pass quota. Overperformance actually pays.

Based only on what the posting says. Lights are a starting point for your first call, not a final judgment.

Questions to ask on the first call

Built from what this posting leaves out. How they answer tells you as much as what they say.

1.
What percentage of fully ramped reps hit quota last year?
OTE is what you could earn. This is how likely you are to earn it.
2.
What percentage of reps on the team have been here more than 18 months?
Tenure shows whether people stay long enough to get paid.
3.
Has the comp plan changed in the last 12 to 18 months? What changed?
A plan that changes every year means the goalposts keep moving.
4.
Who sits with reps and reviews calls each week?
Coaching is often what's behind a good or bad attainment number.
5.

Why I built it this way ↓

Most résumé tools try to make you look like a match. I'd rather help you find out if you are one.

Nothing made up.
Nothing goes on your résumé that you didn't do. If a line would need a number you didn't give me, I ask. I don't guess. On Braun Board it's checked in code, not just promised.
Curiosity before conclusions.
If the job wants something your résumé doesn't show, I ask before I assume. Plenty of sellers have done the thing and just never wrote it down.
Sorting, not selling.
Some jobs won't line up with what you've done. Finding that out before you apply isn't a loss. It's an hour back, spent on a job that fits.
No score.
A match score tells you how well you copied their words. It doesn't tell you whether you'd be good at the job, or happy there.

It's the same way I teach selling. We don't control who says yes. We do control where we spend our time, and whether everything we say is true.
