  • Collaborate with Product Management, Engineering, and Marketing to continuously improve Snowflake’s products and marketing

On Day One We Expect You To Have
  • 7-8 years of industry experience with a minimum of 5 years within a pre-sales environment

  • Outstanding presenting skills to both technical and executive audiences, whether impromptu on a whiteboard or using presentations and demos.

  • Broad range of experience within large-scale Database and/or Data Warehouse technology, ETL, analytics and cloud technologies. For example, Data Lake, Data Mesh, Data Fabric

  • Hands-on expertise with SQL,SQL analytics, and Python.

  • Ability to connect a customer’s specific business problems and Snowflake’s solutions

  • Ability to do deep discovery of customer’s architecture framework and connect those with Snowflake Data Architecture.

  • Proactive curiosity for the AI landscape, striving to be a visionary and technical thought partner for customers navigating the space.

  • A proven ability to leverage AI code generation tools to accelerate productivity and efficiency.

  • University degree in computer science, engineering, mathematics or related fields, or equivalent experience preferred. Masters in Data Science or Business Administration is a plus.

  • Experience with GSIs (EY, Deloitte, Accenture, etc), would be beneficial, but not required
