About the Role
The Customer Activation Partner Lead for APJ will own the customer activation motion across one of Snowflake's most strategically important and fastest-growing regions. This role operates at the intersection of sales, customer success, and learning, translating account intelligence into education plans and education outcomes into pipeline signals. It is a player-coach role for someone who wants to build and redefine how education is utilized in the enterprise sales cycle at scale.

- Provide scoping and solutioning support for pre-sales advisory.
- Synthesize patterns from customer interactions and feed intelligence to curriculum owners.
- Flag education-adjacent signals indicating upsell or expansion opportunities.
- Champion education as part of the core account strategy, positioning it as Snowflake's 'consumption insurance policy'.
- Bridge the gap between regional delivery teams and the sales/CS/SE organization.
- Ensure account teams understand available education resources and when to engage.
Requirements
- Understand how enterprise deals move and where education tends to get deprioritized.
- Know how to reframe the conversation about education with account teams or customer champions.
- Care about customer success with the product, not just renewals.
- Have intuition for where learning breaks down and what good curriculum design looks like.
- Be able to give feedback that curriculum teams can act on.
- Possess deep knowledge of the APJ region, including cultural fluency and existing networks.
- Operate with low ego and influence without authority.

- Experience building or executing account-level education, adoption, or enablement programs tied to measurable business outcomes.
- Strong commercial acumen to connect learning investment to consumption, retention, or expansion metrics.
- Fluency in APJ business culture and enterprise sales dynamics.
- Based in or willing to relocate to Singapore or Sydney.
- Excellent executive communication and executive presence.
