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 Role
The Director, Strategic Events EMEA will own the development and execution of Snowflake's PAN-EMEA events strategy, leading a high-performing team to deliver world-class event experiences that drive pipeline impact and customer engagement. This includes Snowflake-led flagship events (World Tour, Build, EMEA presence at global Summit), executive programming, and strategic third-party sponsorships (Davos, Cannes Lions, Mobile World Congress, Gartner events).
What You'll Do
- Own PAN-EMEA events strategy: Define and execute a comprehensive events plan — including Snowflake-led events, third-party sponsorships, and partner events — aligned with regional and corporate pipeline goals
- Lead and develop your team: Manage and mentor a distributed team of event professionals fostering excellence, creativity, and accountability
- Drive measurable pipeline impact: Partner with Field Marketing, Sales, SDR, and Partner teams to ensure events deliver qualified meetings, pipeline contribution, and accelerate opportunities
- Deliver executive programming: Design C-level roundtables, dinners, and bespoke experiences that strengthen relationships with strategic accounts
- Manage budget and operations: Own budget planning, forecasting, and ROI analysis; manage vendors, agencies, venues, and production partners to deliver on time and on budget
- Optimize through data: Establish KPIs, reporting frameworks, and analytics to measure event performance and business impact; use insights to continuously improve
- Collaborate cross-functionally: Work with Corporate Events, Brand, Content, Product Marketing, and Demand Generation to ensure consistent messaging and seamless execution
- Innovate: Bring fresh ideas and formats that differentiate Snowflake in the market
What We're Looking For
- 10+ years in B2B event or field marketing, with 3+ years in senior leadership roles managing teams and large-scale event portfolios
- Proven track record delivering strategic events that drive pipeline and revenue in enterprise technology or SaaS
- Strong people leader with experience building and scaling teams
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.
