About Starburst
At Starburst, we are working to dismantle the status quo of data silos and vendor lock-in every single day. For decades, database companies have held their customers hostage and we believe that’s just plain wrong. Starburst offers a full-featured data lake analytics platform, built on open source Trino. Our platform includes all the capabilities needed to discover, organize, and consume data without the need for time-consuming and costly migration projects. Today more than 300 leading organizations trust us to make better decisions faster. 
Though Starburst has raised $414M in venture funding from top investors, we were founded in a rather unusual way as we bootstrapped the business with customers and revenue from the very beginning! We are a remote-first company with employees all over the world and are proud to be named a Best Place to Work. Come join our team of All-Stars!
Starburst is seeking a highly motivated and experienced Strategic Engagement Manager to join our dynamic team. As a Strategic Engagement Manager, you will play a pivotal role in driving strategic initiatives and fostering long-term relationships with key customers and partners. Leveraging your expertise in data analytics, business acumen, and exceptional communication skills, you will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to deliver value-added solutions and ensure the success of our clients

As a Strategic Engagement Manager at Starburst your responsibilities will include:

• Strategic Account Management: Serve as the primary point of contact for strategic accounts, building and nurturing relationships with key stakeholders to understand their business objectives, challenges, and opportunities.
• Client Advocacy: Act as a trusted advisor to clients, advocating for their needs within the organization and championing the adoption of Starburst Data solutions to address their data access and analytics requirements.
• Solution Consulting: Collaborate with clients to define and articulate their data access and analytics strategies, providing guidance on best practices, solution architecture, and implementation approaches to achieve desired outcomes.
• Project Management: Lead cross-functional teams in the planning, execution, and delivery of strategic initiatives, ensuring alignment with client expectations, timelines, and budgets.
• Business Development: Identify opportunities for growth within existing accounts, as well as new business prospects, through proactive engagement, needs assessment, and solution positioning.
• Collaboration and Communication: Foster collaboration across internal teams, including sales, engineering, product management, and marketing, to drive customer success and promote continuous improvement in our offerings and processes.
• Market Insight: Stay abreast of industry trends, competitive landscape, and emerging technologies in the data analytics space, providing valuable insights and recommendations to inform strategic decision-making.

Some of the things we look for:

• Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Computer Science, or related field; MBA or advanced degree preferred.
• Proven track record of success in strategic account management, business development, or consulting roles within the technology sector.
• Deep understanding of data analytics concepts, tools, and methodologies, with experience in data warehousing, business intelligence, or related fields.
• Strong interpersonal skills, with the ability to build rapport, influence stakeholders, and navigate complex organizational structures.
• Exceptional communication skills, both verbal and written, with the ability to convey technical concepts to non-technical audiences.
• Demonstrated proficiency in project management, including the ability to prioritize tasks, manage timelines, and drive results in a fast-paced environment.
• Strategic mindset, with the ability to identify opportunities, develop solutions, and drive initiatives that create value for clients and the organization.
• Flexibility to travel as needed to meet with clients and partners.
