About this role

At Snowflake, we are powering the era of the agentic enterprise. To usher in this new era, we seek AI-native thinkers across every function who are energized by the opportunity to reinvent how they work. You don’t just use tools; you possess an innate curiosity, treating AI as a high-trust collaborator that is core to how you solve problems and accelerate your impact. We look for low-ego individuals who thrive in dynamic and fast-moving environments and move with an experimental mindset — who rapidly test emerging capabilities to discover simpler, more powerful ways to deliver results.

At Snowflake, your role isn't just to execute a function, but to help redefine the future of how work gets done. We are looking for an experienced Senior Technical Program Manager to join Frontier Engineering in Sydney. You will lead the technical program across Forward Deployed Engineering engagements, working embedded with strategic customers' engineering teams to take data and AI solutions into production. You will partner with Engagement Managers and Program Managers, and connect customer needs to Snowflake's global Product & Engineering teams.

Frontier Engineering delivers Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE) engagements across Data Transformation and Agentic Transformation for strategic enterprise customers. You will work alongside Engagement Managers, who own the customer relationship and engagement commercials, and Program Managers, who own program coordination, reporting, and operating cadence. You will own technical execution across workstreams, including integration, engineering readiness, dependencies, and production delivery.

AS A SENIOR TECHNICAL PROGRAM MANAGER AT SNOWFLAKE, YOU WILL: - Own the integrated technical plan, cross-workstream dependencies and technical risk across multiple FDE workstreams building on the Snowflake AI Data Cloud. - Drive workstreams from engineering readiness through integration, release, production cutover, and operational handoff, resolving blockers across customer and Snowflake engineering teams. Lead release and production cutover of Snowflake-based data and AI solutions.

- Identify and prioritize customer-driven product gaps and defects, distinguish one-off requirements from recurring product issues, and drive resolution with global Snowflake Product & Engineering teams across time zones. - Give technical estimates, effort and risk input to Engagement Managers and Program Managers to protect delivery feasibility. - Provide commercial awareness of SOW/exhibit scope, change control and delivery done at risk.
