## About the Role

* 7+ years of experience in technical program management, infrastructure planning, capacity management, or a related discipline at a cloud-scale technology company
 * Demonstrated experience managing programs across multiple cloud providers (AWS, Azure, and/or GCP)
 * Strong understanding of cloud infrastructure concepts: compute, storage, networking, containerization, and resource orchestration
 * Experience with demand forecasting, resource modeling, and data-driven decision-making at scale
 * Proven ability to drive cross-functional programs spanning engineering, finance, and operations with VP/Director-level stakeholders
 * Excellent communication skills - ability to synthesize complex technical and financial data into clear executive-ready narratives
 * Strong program management fundamentals: dependency tracking, risk management, milestone governance, and stakeholder alignment

Preferred:

 * Experience with infrastructure capacity planning at hyperscale (10K+ node deployments or equivalent)
 * Familiarity with cloud cost management and FinOps principles
 * Experience with data platforms, data warehousing, or database infrastructure
 * Working knowledge of monitoring and observability tools (Grafana, Datadog, CloudWatch, or equivalent)
 * Background in building or improving automated capacity planning systems and tooling
 * Experience operating in a fast-growth, high-ambiguity environment where priorities shift quickly

## Description

* Own the capacity planning program end-to-end - from demand forecasting and resource modeling to procurement coordination and delivery tracking across Snowflake's multi-cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP)
 * Drive cross-functional alignment between Engineering, Infrastructure, Finance, and Cloud Provider teams to ensure capacity meets projected growth, seasonal demand spikes, and new product launches
 * Build and improve forecasting models and frameworks that translate business growth signals, customer onboarding patterns, and workload trends into actionable infrastructure capacity plans
 * Establish governance and review cadences - own weekly/monthly capacity reviews with engineering leadership, surface risks and tradeoffs, and drive decisions on resource allocation and prioritization
 * Identify and mitigate capacity risks proactively - monitor utilization trends, flag bottlenecks, single points of failure, and lead constraint resolution before they become customer-impacting
 * Partner closely with engineering teams to understand workload characteristics, architecture changes, and new feature launches that affect capacity requirements
 * Drive efficiency and optimization programs - identify opportunities to reduce waste, improve utilization, and right-size infrastructure spend without compromising performance or availability
 * Develop dashboards, metrics, and reporting that give leadership real-time visibility into capacity health, spend trajectory, and delivery timelines
 * Influence infrastructure strategy by providing data-driven recommendations on cloud provider mix, reserved vs. on-demand strategy, and long-term capacity investments, * Get It Done - You thrive on turning ambiguity into executable plans and delivering outcomes, not just status updates
 * Own It - You treat the capacity program as yours end-to-end, anticipating risks rather than reacting to them
 * Integrity Always - You make data-driven recommendations even when they're uncomfortable, and communicate tradeoffs transparently
 * Think Big - You don't just plan for today's scale - you build the frameworks that prepare Snowflake for 10x growth
