While the job title remains the same, the responsibilities and expectations vary by band, so we encourage candidates to read the role description carefully and apply for the banding that best aligns with their experience and career stage.

A few application tips…

We want to help you put your best foot forward. Here are a few things we look for:

• Clear, specific examples of your work and impact
• Relevant experience aligned with the role’s focus
• A thoughtful response to any application questions
• A resume that highlights both what you did and why it mattered

If you’re unsure whether your background is the “perfect fit,” we still encourage you to apply. We value potential and growth just as much as experience.

Why this role exists… As Snap continues to scale, we’re taking on increasingly strategic and cross-functional data projects. From enterprise migrations to capability-wide initiatives, our clients rely on us to deliver solutions that drive real business transformation.

We’re looking for a Senior Data Platform Consultant who can lead large-scale delivery, influence client strategy, and mentor across teams. This role is key to helping our clients unlock the full value of their data through strategic insight, scalable architecture, and thought leadership.

You’ll be joining a team that values curiosity, collaboration, and commercial awareness. If you enjoy operating at a strategic level, shaping delivery frameworks, and guiding others to success, this could be a great fit.

What you'll be doing

You’ll lead the design and delivery of complex data solutions across multiple teams and clients, while shaping Snap’s internal capabilities and external presence.

• Leading large-scale data solutions, including enterprise migrations and multi-team delivery
• Influencing client strategy, facilitating workshops, and aligning technical solutions with business goals
• Managing cross-functional teams, optimizing resources, and driving capability growth
• Identifying systemic issues, implementing scalable solutions, and managing risk across projects
• Mentoring team leads and senior consultants, contributing to training strategy, and building thought leadership
• Driving internal initiatives, shaping delivery best practices, and contributing to Snap’s go-to-market strategy

In your first 3–6 months, success might look like

• Leading a multi-team delivery of a strategic data platform initiative
• Influencing a client’s roadmap through technical and commercial insight
• Mentoring a new team lead and contributing to Snap’s capability-wide strategy

What you'll need to succeed

We’re looking for someone with deep technical expertise, strategic leadership, and a strong commercial mindset.

You might be a great fit if you have:

• 10+ years of professional experience in data
• Extensive experience in cloud data warehousing, SQL, and cloud ETL tools like Matillion
• Proven ability to lead large-scale technical delivery and shape client strategy
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
• A commercial mindset and ability to align data work with business transformation

This role might not be the right fit if you’re looking for:

• A purely hands-on technical role without strategic or client-facing responsibilities
• A role focused on data science or theoretical analytics
