Principal, Strategy and Operations, Data, Analytics & AI

Snowflake • Menlo Park, CA

100d • $191,000 - $273,000

About The Position

We're looking for a sharp, strategic operator to join our team as Principal, DAA Programs-a critical role at the heart of Snowflake's data, analytics, and AI transformation. Reporting directly to the Chief Data & Analytics Officer (CDAO), you'll lead high-impact initiatives that accelerate execution, foster cross-functional alignment, and drive innovation across our DAA agenda. This is not a back-office role. You'll be in the room where decisions are made-shaping priorities, connecting dots across teams, and turning vision into action. You'll operate as a force multiplier for the CDAO, helping scale leadership, bring clarity to complexity, and move the organization forward.

Requirements

• 7+ years of experience in strategy, operations, or cross-functional program leadership
• Exceptional written and verbal communication-you're clear, concise, and persuasive
• Strong executive presence with a low-ego, high-accountability mindset
• Ability to navigate ambiguity, connect dots, and prioritize ruthlessly
• Experience (or deep curiosity) in data, analytics, and AI domains
• A track record of driving meaningful outcomes in complex orgs

Responsibilities

• Build and run operating cadences: OKRs, QBRs, cross-functional checkpoints, and comms that keep everyone aligned and accountable
• Partner with the CDAO on team strategy, executive-level storytelling, and org design
• Act as a liaison across key functions to unblock progress, shape decisions, and influence outcomes
• Own special projects-whether it's launching a new internal product, owning snow-on-snow program or hosting DAA customer summits
• Serve as a trusted thought partner, helping pressure-test ideas, frame trade-offs, and anticipate what's needed before it's asked

Benefits

• Medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance
• 401(k) retirement plan
• Flexible spending & health savings account
• At least 12 paid holidays
• Paid time off
• Parental leave
• Employee assistance program
• Other company benefits
