WHY JOIN OUR HUMAN RESOURCES COMPENSATION TEAM AT SNOWFLAKE?

This is an exciting opportunity to join the highly respected and collaborative Snowflake HR organization. We are first and foremost a customer service organization.

Every Snowflake employee is expected to follow the company’s confidentiality and security standards for handling sensitive data. Snowflake employees must abide by the company’s data security plan as an essential part of their duties. It is every employee's duty to keep customer information secure and confidential.

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.
