Own technical outcomes for enterprise programs where delivery risk is highest, personally driving resolution of the most difficult architectural and integration challenges
Build Snowflake's reputation as a trusted technical partner in the AI and data platform ecosystem
Mentor senior architects and technical leads across the SD practice, raising the technical ceiling of the broader team
Partner with SD leadership on hiring, technical calibration, and the development of architectural career paths
Drive adoption of AI-native delivery practices within the SD organization, setting the standard for how the team uses AI to accelerate and improve customer outcomes
Experience building or scaling a technical practice, Center of Excellence, or architecture function across a large organization

10+ years of experience in senior technical architecture, data platform consulting, or a principal-level customer-facing technical role
