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.

AS A MANAGER, REAL ESTATE AT SNOWFLAKE, YOU WILL:
Direct a $100M+ annual lease spend with a focus on Total Cost of Ownership and rigorous ROI analysis, ensuring workplace investments yield measurable, defensible value
Build an AI-led real estate management strategy of the future: evaluate traditional real estate administration practices and use Snowflake's own AI and compute capabilities to explore, trial, and develop in-house features built on Snowflake Cortex that streamline lease administration, automate manual processes, and extrapolate portfolio data into insights that inform decision making
Collaborate directly with cross-functional partners (Finance, Accounting, Legal, Procurement, Workplace Operations) and outside brokers to ensure all leases are in good standing and to coordinate new leasing activity
Serve as the main liaison between Snowflake and landlords, brokers, internal legal counsel, and technical advisors, maintaining alignment and clarity through lease negotiations, transactions, and ongoing real estate utilization and maintenance
Own operational financial integrity: oversee accurate disbursement processing and data hygiene through meticulous invoice abstraction (rent and operating expenses) within lease admin tools, building the robust datasets required for advanced payment automation, and maintain a 100% non-default lease portfolio
