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.

The Accenture EMEA GSI Partner Development Director (PDD) is the primary orchestrator for the strategic partnership between Snowflake and Accenture in the EMEA region.

This role is responsible for building and promoting our joint solution capability, shaping Go-To-Market plays, and positioning offerings to raise visibility with the field, accelerate customer outcomes and increase deal velocity. The Accenture EMEA PDD will be responsible for the EMEA 'sell-with,' 'sell-through,' and 'implement-with' strategy, ensuring the GSI is enabled to co-sell and deploy our solutions to enterprise clients across the region. The role will work closely with the Global PDD to align on strategy and also with the EMEA sub-region/country PDMs to align on local execution.

Success is measured by overall alliance-influenced revenue (TACV and Use Cases deployed), pipeline generation, partner enablement/certifications, and joint customer success metrics.

We are looking for a strategic thinker, a builder and a finisher—someone who doesn't just draft the plan, but helps drives it to completion, mobilises the field and our partner teams across EMEA, and uses data to "unstick" challenges, or proactively address them, before they become blockers.
