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.
