Industry Lead, Hospitality, Americas

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. 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.
