Principal Solutions Engineer Enablement Manager

Snowflake Snowflake · Data AI · London, United Kingdom · Sales

This role is for an Enablement Business Partner who will act as the Chief Activation Officer for the Solution Engineering team in EMEA, focusing on accelerating field capability tied to business outcomes by owning the full spectrum of how SEs learn. The role involves diagnosing skill gaps, curating and quality-gating enablement content (including validating AI outputs), designing activation experiences, and acting as a connector between Product, Field, Leadership, and the Learner. While the role uses AI tools and validates AI outputs, it does not directly build or ship AI models or agents.

What you'd actually do

  1. Act as the strategic enablement partner for SE leadership, diagnosing skill gaps tied to business outcomes, prescribing targeted interventions, and measuring whether capability actually changed
  2. Curate and quality-gate enablement content: validate AI outputs for accuracy and audience fit, maintain a source of truth for your domains (theater and product), and feed evidence-based quality signals back to PM and PMM
  3. Diagnose field needs through signals (Gong, Salesforce, theater-level data analysis, leadership conversations, steer co themes, PM roadmap changes, etc), then classify and prioritize gaps with data
  4. Design activation experiences, picking the right modality (hands-on or self-serve lab, AI skill, peer learning, coaching nudge), and measuring behavior change, not just completion. This requires technical building skills.
  5. Act as the connector and translator between Product, Field, Leadership, and the Learner; managing intake, building targeted technical content, measuring whether the field activated on the learning, and aligning to release cadence.
