Snowflake Snowflake · Data AI · CA-Menlo Park, United States · Revenue Operations

This role is for a Director of Sales Operations for Go-to-Market Planning at Snowflake. The primary focus is on sales strategy, planning, and operations, including territory design, headcount deployment, and quota allocation. While the company mentions "agentic enterprise" and "AI-native thinkers," the core responsibilities of this role are traditional sales operations functions and do not involve building, training, or deploying AI/ML models. The role uses AI tools as a collaborator but does not engage in AI/ML development.
