Senior Director, R&D Planning & Operations

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 building the data and AI platform for the agentic enterprise. Enterprise Apps & Agentic Systems is applying that same standard internally by redesigning business domains from first principles and turning high-value workflows into software-defined, AI-native products. We are hiring a Sr. Director to make Finance, OTC, Revenue, People, and Legal domains more agentic. This leader will own the product and engineering strategy across the portfolio, moving beyond application management to deliver intelligent products that understand context, act across systems, operate within guardrails, and involve people when judgment is required. This leader will work directly with business executives to identify the work that should be eliminated, redesigned, or delegated to software. They will build the teams, product model, technical foundations, and operating mechanisms needed to move quickly from opportunity to production and deliver measurable business impact CORE MISSION: Transform enterprise operations across Finance, People, and Legal by redesigning end-to-end workflows into AI-native products rather than adding incremental features to legacy apps. Combine domain expertise, enterprise data, workflow automation, autonomous agents, and controls into a coherent operating

For over 20 years, Smartsheet has empowered teams to manage work seamlessly and scale solutions smarter. Now, in our most ambitious chapter yet, we are uniting human teams with AI agents. By orchestrating the work agents do best, automating manual tasks and uncovering insights at scale, we create the space for people to focus on what truly matters: judgment, creativity, and big thinking. That is magic at work, and it’s what we show up for every day. The Sr. Security Engineer I is a critical technical role focused on deal acceleration, platform security evangelism, and the development of security features and capabilities that enhance our customer security and governance capabilities. You will support security and compliance during sales motions and bridge communication between complex customer security requirements and technical product engineering. You will work directly with customer security leaders (security engineers through CISOs) to communicate and clarify product security posture and controls results (such as pen test results), and will work with Smartsheet engineering to build security features that meet real-world customer requirements. You will display product understanding through highly customized presentation demonstrations to customers and at conferences and events. This role reports to the Senior Director, GRC Engineering and can be based in our Bellevue, WA office or remotely from anywhere in the US where Smartsheet is a registered employer. You Will: Serve as a trusted advisor to enterprise customers, CISOs, CIOs, and guiding them on Smartsheet security, compliance, and risk management. Evaluate customer infrastructure diagrams and data flows, and how Smartsheet can help with automation without compromising security. Present scanning results (NIST 800-53 gaps, vulnerability scans, DAST/pen test, IaC scans) to customers including walking through remediations. Help customers interpret scan results and develop deviation rationales fo

That is magic at work, and it’s what we show up for every day. Smartsheet maintains certifications and attestations across SOC 2 Type II, the ISO 27001/27017/27701/22301 suite, HIPAA, and other commercial compliance frameworks—and the manual work of proving those controls quarter after quarter doesn't scale with the business. We're looking for a Sr. Security Engineer I to bring an engineering mindset to our commercial GRC program: automating control monitoring, building evidence pipelines, and reducing the audit-season scramble into a default state of readiness. You'll work hands-on with our GRC platform, cloud, and identity tooling to make control evidence collect itself wherever possible, and you'll partner closely with engineering teams to translate compliance requirements into technical control logic they can actually build against. This is a builder's role within GRC—less checklist administration, more systems thinking applied to compliance. Our approach is grounded in GRC Engineering principles: automate early and often, treat controls and their mappings as code, favor continuous assurance over periodic checks, and build compliance that engineers can consume as easily as they contribute to it. This role reports to the Senior Director, GRC Engineering and can be based in our Bellevue, WA office or remotely from anywhere in the US where Smartsheet is a registered employer. You Will: Own control automation for SOC 2, ISO 27001/27017/27701, HIPAA, and related commercial frameworks: design and build automated evidence collection and continuous control monitoring across cloud, ident

That is magic at work, and it’s what we show up for every day. Smartsheet needs a clear, defensible answer to "how risky is this?" for the risks that live inside our own environment and the risks that come in through every vendor and partner we rely on. We're looking for a Sr. Security Engineer I to own our Security Risk Management program end-to-end—running risk identification, analysis, and quantification; maintaining the enterprise risk register; and driving mitigation strategies that leadership can act on—while also overseeing our Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) function. You don't need to be a hands-on security engineer to succeed here: you need to understand our technology and architecture well enough to have a real conversation with engineering teams about their risk exposure, and you need the judgment and communication skill to turn technical risk into business language that drives decisions. This role sits at the center of how Smartsheet decides what to fix first, what to accept, and what a vendor relationship is actually costing us in risk. This role reports to the Senior Director, GRC Engineering and can be based in our Bellevue, WA office or remotely from anywhere in the US where Smartsheet is a registered employer. You Will: Own and mature Smartsheet's Security Risk Management program: risk identification, analysis, scoring, and quantification (e.g., FAIR-based or similar) across internal systems, third parties, and emerging initiatives. Maintain the enterprise risk register—ratings, ownership, mitigation status, and residual risk—and drive it toward a living, decisi
