Technical Industry Overview and Architecture: how is the Industry adopting Snowflake, and which Industry value drivers does Snowflake attach to?
Technical Use Case Overviews: extend Use Case presentations with how the Use Cases might be addressed, technical architectures and decision points
Ecosystem partner engagement: does the customer need an interface or vendor guidance with ecosystem partners? Is there an ecosystem participant without a Data Cloud presence we should introduce to the wider Snowflake team? Perhaps a data provider which is currently not Marketplace ready? We can facilitate these conversations and advocate for the customer and the vendor with other teams within Snowflake
Solution architecture and review: Snowflake has a diverse ecosystem of Industry participants with domain-specific solutions to a wide range of Use Cases, and domain-specific architecture reviews play a key role
Strategic stakeholder alignment: C-level and direct reports may require strategic, longer running relationships which maintain consistency and alignment across business units and use cases, especially so in global organizations. The platform architect role can help maintain global consistency of vision and assist individual geographies and allow the Lead SE to focus on the individual account management
Strong alignment with the Media & Entertainment industry Team
Technical Industry trend PoV: Data Mesh, Data Vault, GenAI, Data Lakes vs Warehouse vs Lakehouses… view these technical trends through an Industry lens, including case studies, challenges and tradeoffs
Snowdays: bring in the wider team! Complement the customer’s point of view with a wider Industry perspective, perhaps including assistance with bespoke Solution/lab setups for the subindustry
RFP support: some RFPs have an Industry backdrop, and may request information on the Retail and Consumer Goods Data Cloud, or otherwise require a perspective on specific Industry topics
We are always looking for ways to scale our offering. We welcome opportunities to gather a group of SE’s to drive and foster better industry alignment and knowledge sharing. Creating scalable content and driving adoption of key Use Cases is the primary goal for the role so finding ways to spread the message both internally and externally is critical
