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.

As a Senior Project Manager, you will deliver complex migration projects and drive successful customer outcomes, working with both customers and internal stakeholders.

• Own the project lifecycle - ensuring the project meets all milestones and objectives characterized by on-time, on-budget, and predictable delivery
• Proactively identify and mitigate project risks, including risks associated with adjacent workstreams that may be outside the direct scope of the engagement
• Collaborate and communicate effectively with workstream owners, setting clear expectations and maintaining timely communication
• As a trusted advisor, partner with customer Director and VP-level stakeholders to drive alignment and guide the project to successful delivery
• Leverage and improve program management methodology - processes, tools, templates, and checklists
• Champion customer outcomes and clearly articulate project value in quantifiable metrics
• Drive customer satisfaction expressed through surveys, renewals, and additional opportunities for Snowflake
• Work with Professional Services Practice Teams and Sales Account Teams to support scoping, estimating, creating delivery proposals, and providing regular delivery updates
• Collaborate with Product Management, Engineering, and Marketing to continuously improve Snowflake's products and processes
• Identify areas for process improvement within both the customer engagement and Snowflake
