Corporate FP&A Analyst

About the position

Snowflake started with a clear vision: develop a cloud data platform that is effective, affordable, and accessible to all data users. Snowflake developed an innovative new product with a built-for-the-cloud architecture that combines the power of data warehousing, the flexibility of big data platforms, and the elasticity of the cloud at a fraction of the cost of traditional solutions. We are now an international organization with offices in over a dozen countries, serving clients across many more. The Corporate FP&A team's mission is to drive Snowflake's vision forward by delivering clear, actionable financial analysis and insights that empower data-driven decision-making across the organization. As a Corporate FP&A Analyst, you will own corporate accounts (benefits & taxes), prepare monthly financial review packages, quarter and full-year forecasts, and support free cash flow forecasting. You will also conduct ad hoc analyses for executives when required. In this role, you'll be delivering valuable insights through well-crafted work products for the Snowflake Executive Leadership Team (ELT), Investor Relations, Sales Finance, and Accounting teams. Your analysis of financial and headcount data, along with your understanding of business drivers, will inform decision-making at the corporate level. This is a highly visible position, where your work often reaches the CFO’s desk for review, requiring a high level of quality and attention to detail. We’re looking for someone who can adapt and thrive in a semi-structured environment. This role requires in-person attendance at our new Menlo Park, CA office at least 3 days per week (scheduled office move in April 2025 from San Mateo, CA to Menlo Park, CA).
