At Snowflake, your role isn't just to execute a function, but to help redefine the future of how work gets done. Snowflake is redefining how enterprises bring data, applications, and AI together. As customers build AI systems for insights, automation, and action, they need governed access to the most important business data in the enterprise: data from systems like SAP, Salesforce, Workday, ServiceNow, and other leading application platforms. Historically, integrating this data meant building pipelines, duplicating data, losing business semantics, and creating operational complexity. The next generation of enterprise AI requires a better pattern: open, governed, zero-copy interoperability across application platforms, open table formats, catalogs, semantics, and Snowflake. We are looking for a hands-on, high-conviction Principal Product Manager to lead and scale Snowflake’s Zero-Copy Integrations product stream. This person will help shape the product strategy, execution model, partner roadmap, commercial motion, and customer experience for how Snowflake interoperates with the world’s most important business application platforms. This is a highly strategic role at the intersection of product, engineering, design, partnerships, GTM, and executive-level customer engagement. You will work closely with leading application vendors and Snowflake teams to define how customers access structu
