THE ROLE OVERVIEW
At Snowflake, we are at the core of the AI revolution - both in serving our customers with the AI data cloud, and internally, in how we operate day to day. We are seeking a high-leverage, AI-fluent strategic thinker to serve as a key partner to our CEO and Executive Team. This is a rare "seat at the table" for an early-career professional who possesses the rare blend of traditional strategic rigor and modern AI-native workflows. You will not just manage the rhythm of the business nor advise at a distance on strategy; you will architect the future of Snowflake from the CEO’s office, using agentic AI and advanced data reasoning to implement innovative solutions across all Snowflake functions.
Work Location: This position is based exclusively in Menlo Park, CA. Alternative locations are not available at this time.
OUR IDEAL STRATEGIC LEADER WILL HAVE:
Minimal Qualifications
2-3 Years of "Hyper-Growth" Experience: A background in top-tier strategy, consulting, or high-growth technology environments with demonstrated impact on business outcomes
AI-Native DNA: You don't just "use" AI; it is fundamental to how you work. You are proficient in Prompt Engineering, agentic workflows, and basic Python/SQL to manipulate data directly within the Snowflake AI Data Cloud.
High-Velocity Problem Solving: The ability to navigate complex business landscapes with a "systems thinking" mindset. You see the connections between product, sales, and finance that others miss.
Executive Presence with Low Ego: You are comfortable presenting to the C-Suite and Board, yet you possess the discretion and humility required to thrive in a "behind-the-scenes" high-impact role.
Preferred Qualifications
Computer Science bachelor’s degree or equivalent hands-on experience
Communication Mastery: Exceptional ability to translate "technical speak" into "business impact." You can draft a CEO-level memo that is both visionary and grounded in data.
WHY THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY
This role is a career catapult. You will gain a decade’s worth of executive experience in two years. You will be at the epicenter of the AI revolution, helping to steer a company that provides the data "fuel" for the rest of the world’s AI initiatives.
The "Snowflake Standard": We value people who are driven, disciplined, and relentless about delivering value. If you are an AI-native thinker who wants to help run the engine of a global tech giant, we want to talk to you.
Every Snowflake employee is expected to follow the company’s confidentiality and security standards for handling sensitive data. Snowflake employees must abide by the company’s data security plan as an essential part of their duties. It is every employee's duty to keep customer information secure and confidential.
Snowflake is growing fast, and we’re scaling our team to help enable and accelerate our growth. We are looking for people who share our values, challenge ordinary thinking, and push the pace of innovation while building a future for themselves and Snowflake.
