Principal Product Manager - Zero-Copy Integrations

Snowflake•Menlo Park, CA

1d•$264,000 - $379,500

About The Position

Snowflake is redefining how enterprises bring data, applications, and AI together. As customers build AI systems for insights, automation, and action, they need governed access to the most important business data in the enterprise: data from systems like SAP, Salesforce, Workday, ServiceNow, Monday.com, and other leading application platforms. Historically, integrating this data meant building pipelines, duplicating data, losing business semantics, and creating operational complexity. The next generation of enterprise AI requires a better pattern: open, governed, zero-copy interoperability across application platforms, open table formats, catalogs, semantics, and Snowflake. We are looking for a hands-on, high-conviction Principal Product Manager to lead and scale Snowflake’s Zero-Copy Integrations product stream. This person will help shape the product strategy, execution model, partner roadmap, commercial motion, and customer experience for how Snowflake interoperates with the world’s most important business application platforms. This is a highly strategic role at the intersection of product, engineering, design, partnerships, GTM, and executive-level customer engagement. You will work closely with leading application vendors and Snowflake teams to define how customers access structured and unstructured business data, preserve semantics and governance, and activate that data inside Snowflake for analytics, applications, Cortex AI, agents, and business workflows.

Requirements

12+ years of overall experience, including 8+ years of core product management experience, with experience leading complex enterprise data, platform, integration, application, or AI products.
Strong product judgment and product conviction. You can form a clear thesis, pressure-test it with customers and partners, and drive alignment through ambiguity.
Deep understanding of enterprise data integration patterns, including ETL, ELT, CDC, data sharing, federation, reverse ETL, semantic layers, APIs, and application data models.
Familiarity with open table formats and modern lakehouse architecture, especially Apache Iceberg, open catalogs, Polaris, REST catalog APIs, and governed interoperability patterns.
Strong understanding of how business applications model data, semantics, processes, permissions, and extensibility.
Ability to work with strategic partners where product, engineering, commercial, and GTM incentives all need to align.
Strong technical depth with the ability to discuss architecture tradeoffs with engineering, partner architects, field teams, and customer executives.
Strong business acumen, including pricing, packaging, commercial model design, partner economics, and executive-level business case development.
Experience building products that require cross-company coordination, not just internal roadmap execution.
Strong customer orientation and ability to turn complex enterprise requirements into simple, scalable product experiences.
Hands-on use of AI tools and coding agents to accelerate product thinking, prototyping, analysis, and execution.
Ability to write crisp strategy documents, product specs, partner narratives, field guidance, and executive-ready materials.

Nice To Haves

Experience with Snowflake, Databricks, SAP BDC, Salesforce Data Cloud, Workday Data Cloud, ServiceNow, Monday.com, or similar enterprise application and data platforms.
Experience with data catalogs, governance, lineage, access control, semantic layers, data products, or data sharing.
Experience with AI and agentic systems, especially where high-quality business context, semantics, retrieval, and governed action matter.
Experience working on partner-led or ecosystem-led product motions.
Experience with pricing calculators, business case modeling, usage analytics, or product-led adoption frameworks.
MBA or equivalent business training preferred.
Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field preferred.

Responsibilities

Own product strategy and roadmap for Snowflake’s Zero-Copy Integrations with leading application and data platforms.
Drive integrations with partners such as SAP, Salesforce, Workday, Monday.com, ServiceNow, and other strategic enterprise application vendors.
Define the product architecture and user experience for zero-copy access patterns across Iceberg, Polaris, external catalogs, catalog-linked databases, externally managed tables, semantic models, sharing, federation, and write-back patterns.
Partner with engineering to define high-quality integration primitives that go beyond basic access, including semantic fidelity, lineage, observability, governance, entitlementing, performance, and lifecycle management.
Work with design to shape Snowflake-side and partner-side experience surfaces that make zero-copy integrations easy to discover, configure, govern, monitor, and use.
Build a clear product strategy for structured and unstructured application data, including documents, content systems, knowledge bases, contracts, tickets, and enterprise collaboration data.
Define how customers can activate application data in Snowflake through SQL, Cortex AI, Cortex Agents, Cortex Analyst, Cortex Search, ML, Streamlit, notebooks, semantic views, Dynamic Tables, and governed data products.
Influence partner roadmaps and establish win-win product and business models across Snowflake and strategic application vendors.
Develop commercial models, packaging options, pricing calculators, adoption frameworks, and business cases for Snowflake and partner stakeholders.
Work closely with alliances, sales, solution engineering, marketing, legal, security, and finance to bring these partnerships to market.
Engage deeply with lighthouse customers to validate use cases, unblock adoption, and turn bespoke integrations into repeatable product motions.
Use AI and coding agents actively to prototype product ideas, generate demos, build pricing calculators, analyze customer usage, draft specs, and accelerate product development.
