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.

You May Be a Good Fit If You Have - A proven track record leading acquisition / new-business sales teams (distinct from pure expansion) to consistent over-achievement. - The ability to coach AEs on selling business value using a repeatable process, and on creating urgency and deal control. - Experience guiding AEs through complex commercial and legal negotiations with procurement, legal, and business stakeholders. - Experience scaling high velocity sales businesses with channel partners - Strategic territory development and data-driven pipeline management. - A genuine passion for technology and a customer-first mindset, with a commitment to continuous learning and teaching. - Strong communication skills and openness to giving and receiving constructive feedback. On Day One We Will Expect You to Have - 10+ years selling Cloud Solutions, Infrastructure Software, Databases, Analytics, or Applications Software. - 5+ years of sales management experience, ideally leading an acquisition / new-logo motion. - Experience selling to CEOs, CTOs, and Heads of Product, Engineering, or Data Science. - Familiarity with consumption-based / usage commercial models and a land-to-expand philosophy. - The ability to coach your team to target and pursue opportunities within our ideal customer profile through a complex sales cycle. - The ability to work with Sales Engineering and customers to assess current-state architecture, define migration plans, and build business cases that drive new-logo acquisition. - Eligibility to work in Australia. Why This Role, Why Now Australia is one of Snowflake's fastest-growing markets, and the Commercial segment is central to that growth. You will sell an industry-changing, market-defining product at the forefront of the AI Data Cloud - including Cortex AI and our agentic AI capabilities - with the backing of a strong local team and partner ecosystem.
