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.

Go-to-Market (GTM): Collaborate with resell partners to develop joint GTM plans, marketing campaigns, and sales initiatives.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with Snowflake's internal teams (including direct sales, marketing, solution architects, and leadership) to align on channel strategy and execution.
Required Qualifications:
Experience: Minimum 5-7 years of experience in channel sales & partner management, within the enterprise software, cloud, or data industry.
UK Reseller Ecosystem: Demonstrable experience and existing relationships with key UK technology resellers and systems integrators (e.g., VARs, SIs, MSPs).
Sales Acumen: Proven track record of exceeding sales quotas and driving revenue through a partner-led model.
