Job description

At Snowflake, we are powering the era of the agentic enterprise. To usher in this new era, we seek AI-native thinkers across every function who are energized by the opportunity to reinvent how they work. 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. We look for low-ego individuals who thrive in dynamic and fast-moving environments and move with an experimental mindset — who rapidly test emerging capabilities to discover simpler, more powerful ways to deliver results. At Snowflake, your role isn't just to execute a function, but to help redefine the future of how work gets done.

A Manager of TPM (Security) plays a pivotal role here at Snowflake. TPMs own and drive complex programs across various organizations, acting as the key drivers that empower engineers and product teams to innovate and execute with clarity and confidence. They effectively map out dependencies, mitigate risks, and ensure accountability among team members. They work cross-functionally to plan, track, and execute on dependencies. They provide adaptive leadership and implement processes as needed to enable and accelerate our business goals.

AS A MANAGER OF TPM AT SNOWFLAKE, YOU WILL:

• Build a high-performing but happy team culture

• Lead and manage a team of TPMs; coach and mentor them, and engage in setting them up for long-term success.

• Collaborate closely with leadership in the ongoing definition of the functional ladder and performance evaluation process and criteria within the TPM organization.

• Drive process improvements across multiple teams and functions, so as to not solve a particular problem locally; rather solve it for scale.

• Engage effectively with cross-functional teams across the board to deliver on high business impact programs either working with other TPMs or driving them on their own.

• Deal with ambiguity with confidence and have the ability to adapt to changing business conditions.

OUR IDEAL CANDIDATE WILL HAVE:

• Minimum of 12 years experience in technology field as an engineer, product manager, or a TPM

• 5+ years of experience in a people management role managing other TPMs.

• Technical depth to drive technical conversations with engineering and product management.

• A thorough understanding of agile methodologies and the software development lifecycle.

• Strong quantitative and analytical skills, proven ability to track and successfully complete complex programs.

• Degree in Computer Science, other engineering discipline, or Information Systems.
