  • SME Workshop Facilitation: Recruit, train, and lead global Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) through synchronous and asynchronous exam development workshops, including Program Design, Job Task Analyses (JTA), item writing, technical reviews, and standard setting (cut-score) sessions.
  • Technical Question Validation & Quality: Author, review, and technically validate advanced scenario-based exam questions to ensure alignment with Snowflake platform updates, AI/ML features, and architectural best practices.
  • Editorial & Style Governance: Review and revise exam content for grammar, punctuation, spelling, style, and tone, ensuring readability and strict adherence to Snowflake editorial standards.
  • End-to-End Program & Project Management: Use project management tools and methodologies to manage medium-to-large-scale exam development projects, directing simultaneous releases to deliver high-quality outputs on time.
  • Vendor & Psychometric Collaboration: Partner with psychometricians and delivery vendors (e.g., Pearson) to monitor statistical item performance, manage item banks, ensure QTI compliance, and enforce strict exam security.
  • Localization & Publishing Management: Oversee the operational workflows, publishing, maintenance, and global localization processes for all certification forms and program assets.
  • Enablement, Marketing & Launch: Drive new and updated exam launches by developing study guides, practice exams, web content, program articles, and blog posts to drive candidate success and program awareness.
  • Cross-Functional Alignment: Collaborate with Engineering, Product Marketing, and Technical Documentation teams to keep certification paths continuously synchronized with major platform releases and product roadmaps.
