Snowflake is about empowering enterprises to achieve their full potential — and people too. With a culture that’s all in on impact, innovation, and collaboration, Snowflake is the sweet spot for building big, moving fast, and taking technology — and careers — to the next level.

Companies are ready for the next evolution in leveraging data to boost business performance. Analytics/ AI/ Machine Learning is not a new phenomenon, but so far few companies have truly internalized and fully taken advantage of what it means to be data-driven.

Snowflake has a unique opportunity, with the technology, people and processes, to help our customers to become truly data-driven, enabled by the Data Cloud. The adoption of the Data Cloud will be industry-specific and Snowflake tailors our approach to different industry needs.

To support our customers on their data journey, Snowflake is continuing to add talent and build out our team of industry experts able to evolve our industry strategy, drive industry-relevant features of our product, work with top priority customer business executives and collaborate across Snowflake to accelerate performance.
