You will work on critical projects and collaborate with senior leaders to turn complex data into decisive action. What You Will Do Support financial model development. Contribute to the building and maintenance of financial models that track both revenue and cost drivers, enabling accurate forecasting and real-time visibility into workload contribution margins.

Help build scalable reporting & tooling. Translate your data findings into automated, high‑visibility dashboards that product and finance leaders rely on for decision making. The dashboards you build will be maintained by Snowflake's business intelligence team. Assist in cloud spend & infrastructure optimization. While revenue is your focus, you'll also help identify and flag abnormalities in infrastructure spend to maintain healthy margins.
