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.
Our partners play a key role in bringing our customers' data-backed ambitions to life by implementing and harnessing the power of the Snowflake Data Cloud through a robust, interconnected ecosystem. Through our ecosystem development, we enable companies to empower their employees with the data they need to better engage customers, optimize operations, and transform products.
Partner Sales Manager role involves driving and nurturing a diverse ecosystem of System Integrators (SIs), Cloud Service Providers (CSPs), and specialized technology partners. Your primary objective is to strengthen the Snowflake network, moving beyond individual SI management to build a thriving, collaborative partner community. This opportunity is focused exclusively on the market, requiring deep local expertise and a focus on the country's unique digital landscape.
In this role, you will be responsible for building a multi-layered ecosystem with global SIs, alongside dominant regional players and niche consultants. Success is demonstrated by driving joint customer growth, delivering integrated Go-To-Market (GTM) programs, and establishing critical executive relationships across the entire partner network.
Your success depends on your ability to drive compelling ecosystem strategies, multi-partner GTM motions, and high-level strategic alliances. Strong communication, experienced strategic alliance leadership, and the ability to orchestrate complex partner networks are vital.

Collaborate on integrated GTM strategies including strategic objectives and target industries specific to the market. Define joint industry solutions and offerings that demonstrate the power of the ecosystem while differentiating Snowflake in the local market. Achieve partnership goals including sales quota and marketing activities; this is a quota carrying position.
Practice Development & Capacity Building: Inspire partners to grow their Snowflake practices and scale their technical capabilities. Evaluate ecosystem expertise and delivery quality to activate GTM programs that ensure customer success. Define certification growth plans to build a robust pipeline of Snowflake-certified practitioners. Cultivate lasting relationships with Sr executives and decision-makers across the partner landscape.
Results-oriented Ecosystem Management: Apply proven Partner Management skills to manage the entire alliance development lifecycle. Act as a self-starter focused on building and owning 360-degree relationships with multiple stakeholders simultaneously.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work with product development, sales, sales engineering, and marketing to ensure a seamless ecosystem experience. Share partner and customer insights with internal teams to drive continuous platform and program improvement. Collaborate with technical experts to drive solution building with both global and local partners.
Deal Support: Assist the ecosystem in navigating Snowflake’s partner program and sales process, including deal registration and alignment with Sales Leadership. Collaborate with internal teams to ensure a smooth, efficient, and partner-led sales cycle.
Deliver on Performance: Monitor performance metrics across the partner network to ensure healthy ecosystem growth. Maintain the ability to shift priorities and think outside the box to deliver on key regional criteria.
A minimum of 10 years of experience in partner management, strategic alliances, or business development in the technology market.
