Federal Partner Development Manager

At Snowflake, your role isn't just to execute a function, but to help redefine the future of how work gets done. Build the future of data. Snowflake is building the future of data and AI. Our public sector partners play a critical role in helping federal agencies modernize their data environments, improve mission outcomes, and deliver better services to constituents. As Federal Partner Development Manager, you will build and execute joint go-to-market strategies with a portfolio of strategic partners, including Global System Integrators (GSIs), cloud and technology partners, and value-added resellers (VARs). You will align Snowflake and partner sales teams around priority federal accounts, create actionable business plans, and develop programs that generate partner-sourced pipeline and closed-won revenue. You will work across sales, solution engineering, professional services, marketing, product, legal, and public sector leadership to help partners develop Snowflake expertise, bring differentiated solutions to federal customers, and scale repeatable routes to market. Success will be measured by net-new partner-sourced pipeline and closed-won opportunities, partner activation and competency growth, execution of joint GTM programs, and the quality of the customer and partner experience. Partner Management: Own the alliance development lifecycle for your assigned partners, from strategy and business planning through pipeline management and execution.

Partner with sales, sales engineering, professional services, product, legal, and marketing to deliver a seamless partner and customer experience. Share partner and customer insights with internal teams to drive continuous improvement, and work with technical experts to build solutions with partners. Co-Marketing: Plan and execute co-marketing activities, including events, webinars, and content, to increase partner visibility and generate qualified leads. Help partners navigate Snowflake's partner program and sales process, including deal registration, proposal support, and reporting. Performance Delivery: Monitor partner performance against defined metrics, including sourced pipeline, partner activation, and competency growth. Shift priorities, take calculated risks, and think creatively to deliver results while managing multiple priorities at scale. Build AI-First Operating Practices: Use Snowflake CoWork, CoCo, Salesforce, Slack, and related tools to streamline partner planning, opportunity tracking, deal registration, executive briefings, and partner scorecards. Identify repeatable workflows that can be automated or augmented with AI, and experiment responsibly to improve speed, visibility, and decision quality.
