Role summary

Snowflake is seeking a Senior Manager, People Technology to modernize its HR systems. This role involves owning core platforms like Workday HCM, ServiceNow HRSD, and Ashby, and their integrations. You will leverage AI, modern integration frameworks, and automation to eliminate manual work and support AI products transforming how Snowflake operates. Key responsibilities include platform operations, trust and compliance (SOX, GDPR), service excellence, AI-driven automation, operationalizing AI in production, influencing the roadmap, managing vendors, and leading a team of People Systems Analysts and Integration Engineers. The ideal candidate has 10+ years in HRIS/HR technology with 4+ years of people management experience, deep Workday expertise, and hands-on experience with other core HR systems and AI/GenAI applications in HR.

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.

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.

This role goes beyond keeping People systems running. It's an opportunity to modernize how they're run. You'll own the core platforms within our People Technology stack, such as Workday HCM, ServiceNow HRSD, Ashby, and the integrations that connect them. You will leverage AI, modern integration frameworks, and automation to eliminate manual work, and help build and operate the AI products and skills transforming how Snowflake works.

WHAT YOU’LL OWN

  • Platform operations: day-to-day support, release management, and change control for Workday HCM, ServiceNow HRSD, Ashby, and their integrations, including vendor releases from impact analysis through stabilization

  • Trust and compliance: data integrity, system security, and audit readiness across all People systems (SOX, GDPR, privacy)

  • Service excellence: operational SLAs and incident, problem, and request management that the business can count on

  • AI-driven automation: ticket deflection, proactive data-hygiene monitoring, automated regression testing, and faster release cycles

  • AI in production: operationalize, maintain, and support AI products and skills, developing robust runbooks, monitoring, and support structures once they go live

  • Roadmap influence: turn operational friction into prioritized requirements, and co-own the People Tech and AI roadmap with the PMO

  • Vendors: manage vendor and implementation-partner relationships for Workday, ServiceNow, Ashby, and connected SaaS tools including performance, escalations, contract management, and roadmap alignment

  • Team leadership: lead, develop, and mentor a high-performing team of People Systems Analysts and Integration Engineers

WHAT YOU BRING

  • 10+ years in HRIS or HR technology, including hands-on configuration, integration, and delivery experience

  • 4+ years of people management experience leading HRIS, systems, or integration teams

  • Deep Workday expertise (Security, Business Processes, Reporting/RaaS), including supporting a global implementation, plus a strong grasp of middleware and integration platforms

  • Hands-on experience with core HR systems beyond Workday, such as ServiceNow HRSD and Ashby

  • A strong operating discipline: release management, change control, incident and problem management, SLA ownership, SOX and privacy controls

  • Real experience applying AI or GenAI to HR operations, such as ticket deflection, data-quality monitoring, or test and release automation

  • Proven ability to influence leaders and prioritize against operational realities

  • Excellent communication skills and a customer service mindset in supporting the business
