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.

ABOUT THE TEAM:

ABOUT THE ROLE:

We aren't looking for someone to just execute tasks and pull data; we need someone eager to learn, grow, and contribute as a business partner who can navigate ambiguity and anticipate next steps.

You will work on critical projects and collaborate with senior leaders to turn complex data into decisive action.

• Accelerate Insights with AI Leverage Snowflake Intelligence and AI-assisted SQL daily to automate manual reporting and speed up your insight discovery process. You will use our native AI features to streamline complex workflows, allowing you to focus less on manual data prep and more on contributing strategic insights.

• Help Build Scalable Reporting & Tooling Translate your data findings into automated, high-visibility dashboards that Product and Finance leaders rely on for decision making. The dashboards you build will be maintained by Snowflake's business intelligence team.

• Assist in Cloud Spend & Infrastructure Optimization While revenue is your focus, you'll also help identify and flag abnormalities in infrastructure spend to maintain healthy margins. Support recommendations to reduce COGS/OpEx and improve cost efficiency.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

• Bachelor's Degree: In Finance, Data Science, Computer Science, Economics, or a related field. Strong academic foundation in quantitative analysis is valued.

Any prior experience with coding languages is a significant plus.

• Exposure to Revenue & Business Analysis: Familiarity with concepts like revenue, COGS, and margin analysis from work experience, coursework, case competitions, or internships. Experience with Salesforce or other business systems is a bonus, not a requirement.

• Ownership & Problem-Solving Mindset: Adept at working through ambiguity and taking initiative—whether in a team project, internship, or academic setting. You anticipate next steps, coordinate with others, and push projects forward.

• Exceptional Communication: Able to translate complex data into clear takeaways. Comfortable presenting findings to peers and senior stakeholders.

• Continuous Improvement Mentality: You're always looking for ways to optimize. The first version of your work is never your last—you believe there's always a better way.
