About Ultra Tendency

Ultra Tendency is an international Data & AI consultancy and one of Databricks' leading Professional Services Partners. Since 2010, we've been helping organizations turn data into business value by delivering modern data platforms, cloud-native solutions, and AI-driven transformation programs.

With offices across Europe and Asia-Pacific, we combine deep technical expertise with a pragmatic consulting approach to support enterprises throughout their data transformation journey.

As we continue expanding our presence in Japan, we're looking for a customer-facing Technical Project Manager / Solution Consultant to bridge business and technology while leading customer engagements across Japan and the APAC region.

Lead customer engagements, workshops, and discovery sessions to understand business objectives, data strategies, and technical challenges.
Take ownership of project management activities for customer projects across Japan and APAC, ensuring successful planning, coordination, and execution.
Translate customer requirements into practical solution approaches in collaboration with our technical delivery teams.
Serve as the primary technical and business advisor during pre-sales activities, executive meetings, and solution discussions.
Prepare and deliver compelling presentations, solution proposals, demonstrations, and proof-of-concept approaches.
Support proposal development, project estimation, Statements of Work (SoW), commercial discussions, and RFP/RFI responses.
Coordinate with engineering, delivery, partners, and customer stakeholders to ensure a seamless transition from sales into implementation.
Build long-term trusted relationships with customer executives, business leaders, and technical teams.
Represent Ultra Tendency at customer meetings, partner events, conferences, and strategic engagements throughout Japan and APAC.
Provide market feedback and customer insights to help shape new service offerings and go-to-market strategies.
