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.
ABOUT THE TEAM
Strategic Finance is where Snowflake's biggest financial questions get answered: what an acquisition is worth, where the company lands over the long term, what our EPS looks like, and how much capital each entity needs. Our work doesn't end at the model - we translate what the numbers say into clear points of view that help the CFO and senior leadership act.
ABOUT THE ROLE
This is a high-visibility role spanning corporate development, long-term planning, and technical accounting - a combination that's rare for a single analyst seat. You will build serious financial models and provide real decision-driving support to the executive level. This role is best suited for candidates from investment banking, private equity, or FP&A who are ready to work across M&A diligence, forecasting, and EPS simultaneously. You will work closely with a Senior Manager who owns methodology and will teach it.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
Financial Storytelling
Turn model output into a clear narrative for executive and board audiences - the headline, the key drivers, and the recommendation. Build exec summaries, ELT slides, and briefing memos where every number is defensible, and present your analysis directly to senior finance leadership.
M&A Diligence and Deal Modeling
Dive into target financials to understand unit economics, cost structure, and the operating model. Build acquisition models under the direction of the deal lead: standalone and pro forma projections, purchase price allocation, accretion/dilution, and sensitivity cases framed around what has to be true for the deal to work.
Long-Term Planning and 3-Statement Forecasting
Maintain and extend the total-company long-term model - full P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow - driven off bookings, revenue, headcount, and cost-per-head. Run scenarios and translate trade-offs into terms leadership can act on: growth versus margin, hiring pace versus operating leverage.
SBC and EPS Modeling
Run the monthly stock-based compensation forecast, including grant-level expense attribution, new-grant and refresh assumptions, and forfeitures by function and legal entity. Build quarterly and annual basic and diluted EPS forecasts using treasury stock method mechanics and share count roll-forward.
Entity-Level Cash Flow and Capital Planning
Build entity-level cash flow forecasts to size capital requirements and funding needs across international subsidiaries. Support Tax on transfer pricing analytics and convert entity-level detail into a plain funding recommendation: which entities need cash, how much, and when.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED
- 1-3 years of experience in investment banking, private equity, corporate development, transaction advisory, or corporate FP&A
- Ability to build or work extensively in a 3-statement operating model, and explain how the balance sheet and cash flow tie
- Familiarity with M&A modeling mechanics - accretion/dilution, purchase accounting, sources and uses
- Advanced Excel with disciplined model structure and a bias toward auditability over cleverness
- Strong written and verbal communication - able to take a complex analysis and land it in three sentences and one slide
- Solid GAAP fundamentals with genuine interest in SBC (ASC 718) and EPS (ASC 260)
- Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field, or equivalent experience
Bonus Points
- Experience building materials for a CFO, board, or executive audience
- SQL proficiency, or a clear appetite to learn - this team queries the data warehouse directly
- Workday Adaptive Planning or a comparable EPM platform
- Entity-level cash flow, capital adequacy, or transfer pricing exposure
- Python for model automation
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.
