## Description

At Snowflake, we are powering the era of the agentic enterprise.

We are looking for an experienced Senior Technical Program Manager to join Frontier Engineering in Sydney.

You will lead the technical program across Forward Deployed Engineering engagements, working embedded with strategic customers' engineering teams to take data and AI solutions into production.

**Responsibilities**

- Own the integrated technical plan, cross-workstream dependencies and technical risk across multiple FDE workstreams building on the Snowflake AI Data Cloud.

- Drive workstreams from engineering readiness through integration, release, production cutover, and operational handoff, resolving blockers across customer and Snowflake engineering teams.

- Lead release and production cutover of Snowflake-based data and AI solutions.

- Identify and prioritize customer-driven product gaps and defects, distinguish one-off requirements from recurring product issues, and drive resolution with global Snowflake Product & Engineering teams across time zones.

- Give technical estimates, effort and risk input to Engagement Managers and Program Managers to protect delivery feasibility.

- Provide commercial awareness of SOW/exhibit scope, change control and delivery done at risk.

- Identify scope changes, delivery-at-risk decisions, and emerging technical constraints; provide the impact assessment needed by Engagement Managers to manage SOW scope and change control.

- Report technical status clearly to Snowflake and customer stakeholders, from engineering teams to executives.

- Use AI-assisted workflows, including Snowflake Cortex capabilities, to improve delivery tooling and execution.

- Help establish the FDE Technical Program Management practice in ANZ.

**Requirements**

- Typically 8+ years leading complex, multi-workstream technical programs.

- Hands-on delivery leadership of technical programs into production, such as data platform, MLOps, GenAI/AI, or software and application development projects.

- Experience leading technical delivery within enterprise customer environments, navigating customer-owned infrastructure, access constraints, and shared delivery responsibilities.

- Strong dependency and technical risk management across multiple engineering teams.

- Technical depth to challenge engineering estimates, assess architectural and integration trade-offs, identify delivery risks, and drive sequencing decisions with engineering leads.

- The conviction to challenge customers, engineering teams, and senior stakeholders when assumptions, technical decisions, or delivery plans don't hold up.

- Operates independently in ambiguous environments, exercises sound judgment without waiting for consensus, and takes ownership of getting to an outcome.

**Nice to Have**

- Experience leading forward-deployed engineering engagements, with direct responsibility for integrating solutions into customer environments and taking them to production.

- Strong point of view and the confidence to challenge customers and senior stakeholders when technical decisions or delivery commitments don't hold up.

- Willingness to challenge conventional approaches, identify what's not working, and push for a better technical or delivery strategy.

- Delivery in regulated financial services.

- Hands-on experience with Snowflake or other cloud data platforms.

- An engineering manager or tech lead background in data platform or software/application development.

- Consultancy or Big-4 technical program leadership.
