At Snowflake, we are powering the era of the agentic enterprise.

You don’t just use tools; you possess an innate curiosity, treating AI as a high-trust collaborator that is core to how you solve problems and accelerate your impact.

  • Immerse yourself in the ever-evolving industry, maintaining a deep understanding of competitive and complementary technologies and vendors and how to position Snowflake in relation to them.
  • Collaborate with Product Management, Engineering, and Marketing to continuously improve Snowflake’s products and marketing

ON DAY ONE WE WILL EXPECT YOU TO HAVE:

  • 7-8 years of industry experience with a minimum of 5 years within a pre-sales environment
  • Outstanding presenting skills to both technical and executive audiences, whether impromptu on a whiteboard or using presentations and demos.
  • Broad range of experience within large-scale Database and/or Data Warehouse technology, ETL, analytics and cloud technologies. For example, Data Lake, Data Mesh, Data Fabric
  • Hands-on expertise with SQL,SQL analytics, and Python.
  • Ability to connect a customer’s specific business problems and Snowflake’s solutions
  • Ability to do deep discovery of customer’s architecture framework and connect those with Snowflake Data Architecture.
  • University degree in computer science, engineering, mathematics or related fields, or equivalent experience preferred. Masters in DataScience or Business Administration is a plus.
  • Experience with GSIs (EY, Deloitte, Accenture, etc), would be beneficial, but not required
  • Expect approximately 30% travel

Every Snowflake employee is expected to follow the company’s confidentiality and security standards for handling sensitive data.
