  • Develop trusted relationships with architects, engineers, platform teams, and business stakeholders within strategic enterprise accounts

  • Maintain an understanding of competitive and complementary technologies and position Snowflake effectively in relation to them

  • Collaborate with Product Management, Engineering, and Marketing to improve Snowflake’s products, messaging, and field effectiveness

  • Help customers stay current on Snowflake product innovation, roadmap developments, and emerging use cases

  • Represent Snowflake at customer meetings, executive briefings, workshops, and industry events

On day one we will expect you to have:
  • 6+ years of experience in a customer-facing solutions engineering, sales engineering, solution architecture, or technical pre-sales role

  • Strong competency across modern data stacks, including ETL/ELT, data warehouses, data lakes, analytics, and cloud-native data platforms

  • Experience working with enterprise customers in complex technical and stakeholder environments

What success looks like in this role:
  • You quickly establish credibility with technical teams and key stakeholders across the account

  • You bring a practical, execution-oriented style that helps move opportunities forward

  • You translate Snowflake capabilities into clear business and technical value

  • You create technical champions and trusted relationships within your customer environment
