AI in this role
Account Executive needed to drive consumption of AI and data workloads for strategic enterprise customers at Snowflake.
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.
We're looking for a Majors Account Executive to join the account team for our largest strategic customer in ANZ. This marquee account recently signed one of the biggest commitments in Snowflake's history, is a major share of the Australian business, and gets close attention from executive leadership. You'll partner with a Global Account Manager who has grown this relationship many times over in a short period. Your job is to help shape the customer's data and AI strategy at a time when it needs real strategic help.
To be clear about what you're signing up for: this account is complex and going through a period of change. Relationships need to be stabilised, competitors are actively working to win share, and expectations are high. This is not an order-taking role. If you do your best work under pressure and in ambiguous situations, this is a chance to make a career-defining impact.
AS A MAJORS ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE AT SNOWFLAKE, YOU WILL:
Work alongside the Global Account Manager to run account strategy for a marquee ANZ strategic customer, growing consumption of the Snowflake AI Data Cloud across many business units.
Act as a trusted advisor to executive and technical stakeholders, shaping their roadmap for enterprise growth
Find and close new workloads across a broad set of use cases, including fraud detection, tax and finance analytics, security data lakes, and AI/ML workloads built on Snowflake Cortex AI, Snowpark, and Snowflake ML.
Rebuild and strengthen relationships where trust has slipped, turning at-risk stakeholders into long-term champions.
Manage consumption-based commercial models: forecast usage, protect committed spend, and spot expansion opportunities through Snowflake's capacity and consumption programs.
Coordinate a global virtual team across time zones, including a Beijing-based colleague who covers the customer's China operations, plus Solution Engineering, Professional Services, Partners, and Snowflake executives.
Keep forecasting and account planning disciplined, with clear visibility for Snowflake leadership.
OUR IDEAL MAJORS ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE WILL HAVE:
A proven track record of consultative, trusted-advisor selling: shaping a customer's strategy, not just selling into it.
Deep experience running large, complex strategic or global accounts with multiple stakeholders and buying centres geographically distributed
The seniority and confidence to make an impact quickly, built over a career of closing and growing major enterprise relationships.
A history of staying calm in turbulent accounts and stabilising relationships with dissatisfied or at-risk customers.
Technical and commercial range: credible on data platforms, AI, security, and fraud use cases, and comfortable with consumption-based pricing.
Strong cross-cultural, cross-timezone collaboration skills, with experience working with distributed or global account teams.
A real motivation to commit to a multi-year account journey and see long-term outcomes through.
Snowflake is growing fast, and we’re scaling our team to help enable and accelerate our growth. We are looking for people who share our values, challenge ordinary thinking, and push the pace of innovation while building a future for themselves and Snowflake.
