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.

• Amplify your impact by educating and mentoring the TPM and Engineering communities on program management best practices.
• Identify opportunities to improve execution of the organization as a whole, to increase engineering productivity through tools and light-weight processes. (Snowflake happens to have a nice data platform to use :-)

A SENIOR TECHNICAL PROGRAM MANAGER AT SNOWFLAKE IS EXPECTED TO HAVE:

• 5+ years of demonstrated industry experience and expertise leading medium to large complex engineering projects in current cloud technologies
• Ability to thrive and succeed in a dynamic environment not slowed down by ambiguity or competing priorities
• Experience working cross functionally with engineering, product management, and other functions involved in the product life cycle
• Strong program management skills with technical and business acumen
• Effective verbal and written communication and presentation skills, with the ability to interact with technical and non-technical groups
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, consultation and organizational skills
• BS/MS/PhD degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related fields or equivalent practical experience (e.g. familiarity with SQL, Python, Data)
