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.

Role Overview
As the Manager of Video Operations, you are a highly organized and execution-focused operator who brings structure, clarity, and consistency to a fast-moving creative environment. You excel at building operational systems that enable creative teams to deliver high-quality work predictably and at scale. You are a strong partner to creative leadership, translating strategic direction into clear workflows, resourcing plans, and delivery standards. You are comfortable operating with defined ownership, making day-to-day operational decisions, and escalating thoughtfully when tradeoffs or risks arise. You value data, process, and continuous improvement, and you are motivated by helping teams work smarter—not harder—through better systems, tooling, and coordination. This role reports to the Director of Video Production and sits within the Brand Video team, part of Snowflake’s broader Brand Marketing organization.
