The Sr. Product Manager, Data Warehouse will report to the Sr. Director, Data Science & Analytics in the Data Science & Analytics organization. This role will lead the product strategy and execution for our enterprise data warehouse capabilities on Snowflake-enabling trusted, governed, and performant analytics data for business intelligence, reporting, self-service exploration, and AI/ML applications. You will be a trusted partner to data engineering, architecture, security, governance, and business stakeholders to deliver measurable value through improved data quality, usability, reliability, and time-to-insight.
You will own the product vision and roadmap for core warehouse capabilities in Snowflake, including data modeling (dimensional/data vault where appropriate), semantic and metrics layers, Generative AI features, workload performance and SLAs, governed data access, lineage and observability, and enablement for BI and analytics tooling. This is a highly cross-functional role requiring strong product leadership, understanding of the business meaning of the data, deep fluency in modern data warehousing, and a robust understanding of Generative AI.
Duties & Responsibilities: - Own the product vision and roadmap for the enterprise data warehouse on Snowflake to enable trusted analytics at scale.
- Partner with business stakeholders, analytics, and data engineering to translate reporting and decisioning needs into clear product requirements, data contracts, and prioritized warehouse initiatives.
- Develop and execute product roadmaps with measurable outcomes (OKRs/KPIs) such as time-to-data, query performance, data quality, adoption, and cost efficiency.
- Define the warehouse product strategy across ingestion, transformation, modeling, serving, and consumption layers; balance short-term delivery with long-term architecture and platform evolution.
- Partner with Data Science and Data Engineering to develop and execute on a roadmap for applications that use Snowflake's Generative AI features.
- Collaborate with Architecture, Security, Privacy, and Data Governance to ensure the warehouse meets governance, access control, retention, audit, and compliance requirements.
- Establish and communicate warehouse SLAs/SLOs (freshness, availability, performance) and lead incident review/continuous improvement with engineering partners.
- Drive a 1-3 year capability roadmap (e.g., semantic layer/metrics store, self-service data products, workload isolation, data observability, catalog/lineage) and deliver iteratively.
- Prioritize features and investments using customer feedback, analytics usage telemetry, technical feasibility, risk, and business impact.
- Develop business cases for data warehouse initiatives (value, risk reduction, productivity, scalability) and track outcomes against OKRs and KPIs.
- Define and maintain product and platform dashboards (adoption, performance, freshness, quality, cost) and provide regular updates to stakeholders.
- Provide guidance and mentorship to product managers and analysts; set standards for warehouse product discovery, delivery, and stakeholder communication.
- Identify opportunities to improve scalability, reliability, latency, and cost efficiency of Snowflake workloads through workload management (virtual warehouses, resource monitoring), query optimization, and FinOps practices.
- Partner with engineering to deliver robust warehouse capabilities (modeling patterns, semantic layer, query optimization, data observability, CI/CD for data, and environment management).
- Operate effectively with minimal direction; navigate ambiguity and shifting priorities while maintaining clear delivery plans and stakeholder alignment.
- Other duties as assigned.
