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.

Snowflake is seeking a Senior People Partner to serve as the primary strategic advisor to our Marketing leadership organization, including direct partnership with the Chief Marketing Officer. This is a highly visible, staff-plus role designed for an experienced People Partner who operates with executive presence, strong independent judgment, and the ability to shape people strategy at scale.

This role is based in our Menlo Park office, with in-office attendance required three days per week. Due to the nature of ELT partnership, location flexibility is not available for this position.

The Senior People Partner will work closely with senior Marketing leaders, the Go-To-Market People Partner leadership team, and People Centers of Excellence to drive organizational effectiveness, leadership capability, and business-aligned people strategy. This role reports to the Director, People Partner, Go-To-Market.

THE IMPACT YOU WILL MAKE:

As a Senior People Partner, you will operate at the intersection of business strategy, leadership effectiveness, and organizational design, influencing outcomes well beyond your immediate client group. You will:

Serve as a trusted advisor to executive leadership: Partner directly with the CMO and senior Marketing leaders as a strategic thought partner. Provide candid, data-driven counsel on people, organizational, and leadership decisions, and confidently challenge perspectives when needed to drive the best outcomes for the business.
Shape Marketing people strategy: Translate Marketing’s business priorities into an integrated people strategy, spanning org design, workforce planning, succession, performance, and leadership development. Ensure people decisions support Snowflake’s growth, innovation, and market leadership.
Lead complex, high-impact initiatives: Own and drive enterprise-level initiatives such as organizational redesigns, leadership transitions, succession planning for critical roles, talent assessments, and retention strategies. Navigate ambiguity and influence outcomes without reliance on heavy process or structure.
Act as a change leader: Guide Marketing leaders through periods of growth, transformation, and evolving business needs. Serve as a steady presence during change, helping leaders manage organizational complexity while maintaining performance and engagement.
Coach at the most senior levels: Provide high-impact coaching to VP and SVP leaders, focused on leadership effectiveness, decision-making, team dynamics, and organizational health. Partner with Leadership Development COEs where appropriate, while maintaining ownership of executive-level coaching relationships.
Deliver executive-ready insights: Leverage data and qualitative insights to assess organizational health across engagement, performance, attrition, and diversity. Build concise, compelling narratives and presentations that enable executive decision-making and alignment.
Influence beyond Marketing: As a senior member of the People Partner team, contribute to cross-functional initiatives and help shape broader People Partner strategy, standards, and operating models across Snowflake.
Partner deeply with COEs: Collaborate closely with COEs and regional HR teams to deliver scalable, high-quality people solutions. Ensure consistency with Snowflake programs while tailoring approaches to the unique needs of the Marketing organization.

Strong business and data acumen, with comfort using insights to challenge assumptions and guide decisions
Ability to operate independently in fast-moving, ambiguous environments, balancing strategic thinking with hands-on execution when needed
