Snowflake Access Governance Specialist

Snowflake Access Governance Specialist

We’re looking for a Snowflake Access Governance Specialist to support data governance initiatives focused on access provisioning, role-based access control (RBAC), and purpose-based role administration within Snowflake.

This role will serve as a key bridge between business stakeholders, data owners, and technical teams to ensure users receive appropriate access while maintaining strong governance, security, and documentation standards.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Facilitate the creation, modification, and documentation of purpose-based Snowflake roles in partnership with Database Administrators.
• Coordinate access provisioning requests and ensure appropriate role assignments based on business and security requirements.
• Support regular access reviews, certifications, and cleanup initiatives to maintain strong role hygiene and eliminate unnecessary access.
• Partner with data owners, business users, and DBAs to translate business needs into technical access requirements.
• Maintain documentation around role purposes, access levels, approvals, and governance workflows.
• Support broader data governance and access management initiatives.
• Help ensure Snowflake access aligns with organizational policies and security standards.

What We’re Looking For

• Understanding of Snowflake architecture, security models, and RBAC concepts.
• Experience with access management, identity governance, access provisioning, or similar governance-focused responsibilities.
• Familiarity with data governance principles and access management best practices.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to bridge business and technical stakeholders.
• Strong analytical skills and attention to detail, particularly around auditing and access cleanup activities.

Nice to Have

• Previous hands-on exposure to Snowflake or other cloud data platforms.
• Knowledge of SQL and database concepts.
• Background in data governance, compliance, information security, or identity/access management.
• Experience with access reviews and certification processes.

Important: This is primarily a coordination and governance role rather than a hands-on Snowflake engineering/administration position. Technical implementation will be handled by the DBA team.
