Senior Education Sales Manager

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.

The Global Revenue Enablement (GRE) organization exists to equip every audience in our ecosystem — field sellers, technical specialists, and partners — with the clarity, content, and skills they need to execute with speed and consistency. But enablement doesn't stop at the field. The fastest path to consumption is a customer who knows exactly how to use what they've bought.

That's where Customer Activation comes in.

We're building a function that embeds education directly into the account motion — not as a post-sale afterthought, but as a deliberate strategy to accelerate time-to-value, reduce friction in expansion conversations, and protect consumption in accounts that matter most.

The Customer Activation Partner for Japan & Korea will embed education into the account motion across a defined set of top accounts in both markets. This is not as a support function, but a deliberate strategy to accelerate adoption, reduce time-to-value, and surface the expansion signals that matter to the business.

You'll operate with significant autonomy, working directly with account teams, customers, and regional delivery resources to build education plans that drive measurable consumption outcomes. And you'll serve as the primary voice connecting what's happening on the ground in Japan and Korea back to the global curriculum and enablement organization.

• →
  • →

    7+ years of experience in customer success, channel enablement, sales, revenue enablement, or a related customer-facing role in enterprise software or cloud technology

  • →

    Business-level Japanese fluency (spoken and written) — required

  • →

    Demonstrated experience working directly with enterprise accounts in Japan, including navigating complex stakeholder environments

  • →

    Strong commercial instincts — able to connect education investment to consumption, retention, or expansion outcomes

  • →

    Experience operating independently across a large or geographically dispersed territory

  • →

    Excellent communication skills in English; ability to bridge effectively between local customer needs and a globally distributed enablement team

• Korean language proficiency (conversational or business-level)

• Experience at a data platform, analytics, or cloud infrastructure company; familiarity with Snowflake's product ecosystem

• Background spanning both pre-sales and post-sales motions

• Experience designing or influencing training and enablement content for enterprise audiences

• Existing network within the Japan or Korea enterprise data/cloud ecosystem

• Familiarity with consumption-based revenue models and the customer adoption behaviors that drive them

You'll carry real accountability with the autonomy to build the education motion the way it should be built — grounded in relationships, tied to consumption outcomes, and integrated into how the account team operates, not bolted on after the fact.

This is not a coordination role. You'll be the primary Customer Activation presence in market, reporting into the APJ lead and working directly with some of the most senior account teams in the region. Your work will be visible, your impact will be measurable, and the function you're helping build is still early enough that the way you operate will shape how it scales.

Snowflake is growing fast, and we’re scaling our team to help enable and accelerate our growth. We are looking for people who share our values, challenge ordinary thinking, and push the pace of innovation while building a future for themselves and Snowflake.
