About the Role
Snowflake is powering the era of the agentic enterprise and seeks AI-native thinkers to reinvent how work gets done. This role focuses on providing expanded regional leadership for the Solutions Architecture function, driving technical pre-sales excellence and managing strategic outcomes across a designated geography. The Senior Manager will build regional operational frameworks, optimize technical discovery processes, and champion the development of reusable solution patterns.
Responsibilities
- Optimize regional technical discovery processes and design structured qualification frameworks to accelerate deal velocity and ensure high-integrity sales pursuits.
- Champion the development, curation, and regional adoption of reusable solution patterns, reference architectures, standardized sales collateral, and field enablement toolkits.
- Manage high-complexity regional technical or scoping escalations and drive strict cross-functional alignment between software sales, services delivery, and regional practice leadership.
- Develop, refine, and implement structured regional onboarding programs that accelerate new-hire time-to-productivity and baseline utilization.
- Accountable for regional scoping accuracy (SOW-to-delivery alignment) across the entire regional portfolio to minimize downstream implementation risks and erosion of project margins.
Requirements
- Demonstrated track record of managing strategic regional outcomes and technical frameworks rather than just localized, tactical tasks.
- Minimum 12+ years working with customers in a pre-sales, post-sales, or solution architecture capacity within a technology or enterprise professional services organization.
- Minimum 5 years of direct people management experience leading customer-facing technical teams.
- 7+ years in data professional services or technical consulting.
- Proven ability to consistently manage, de-escalate, and resolve high-complexity regional technical and commercial issues with cross-functional executive stakes.
- Demonstrated experience creating operational or technical frameworks utilized at a regional scale.
- Deep familiarity with modern multi-cloud data strategies (AWS, Azure, and GCP), data governance systems, advanced data integration concepts, and analytics platforms.
- Demonstrated expertise managing pipeline forecasting and headcount deployment using enterprise tooling (Salesforce, Certinia/FinancialForce, Jira, or similar PPM tools).
