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.
A Manager of TPM (Security) plays a pivotal role here at Snowflake. TPMs own and drive complex programs across various organizations, acting as the key drivers that empower engineers and product teams to innovate and execute with clarity and confidence. They effectively map out dependencies, mitigate risks, and ensure accountability among team members. They work cross-functionally to plan, track, and execute on dependencies. They provide adaptive leadership and implement processes as needed to enable and accelerate our business goals.
AS A MANAGER OF TPM AT SNOWFLAKE, YOU WILL:
Build technical and product depth to understand Security architecture choices, evaluate tradeoffs, and anticipate downstream implications and risks.
Bridge engineering execution with customer outcomes and product strategy, ensuring Security programs are aligned with both technical priorities and business impact.
Engage deeply in architecture reviews, design discussions, and technical tradeoff conversations, helping teams pressure-test assumptions and make well-informed decisions.
Raise the bar in program reviews by asking high-quality technical and product questions, identifying gaps, and driving teams toward crisp decisions and accountable follow-through.
Translate complex technical topics into clear narratives for cross-functional and executive audiences.
Lead and manage a team of TPMs; coach and mentor them, and engage in setting them up for long-term success.

Deal with ambiguity with confidence and have the ability to adapt to changing business conditions.
OUR IDEAL CANDIDATE WILL HAVE:
Minimum of 12 years experience in technology field as an engineer, product manager, or a TPM
5+ years of experience in a people management role managing other TPMs.
Technical depth to drive technical conversations with engineering and product management.
A thorough understanding of agile methodologies and the software development lifecycle.
