Sr Manager, Strategic Events EMEA — 12-Month Fixed-Term Contract (Maternity Cover)

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.

We're looking for an experienced events leader to step into a 12-month fixed-term maternity cover as Sr Manager, Strategic Events EMEA. In this role, you'll drive and execute Snowflake's PAN-EMEA events strategy, lead a team of six (including four direct reports), and you’ll own planning for the next fiscal year. You'll keep EMEA closely aligned with the Global Strategic Events function and work in close partnership with EMEA Field Marketing, Product Marketing (PMM), Demand Generation, Partner Marketing, Communications, and other regional marketing teams. Together you’ll deliver cohesive, high-impact event experiences that fuel pipeline and deepen customer engagement.

This is a hands-on leadership role — you'll be accountable for the performance and development of your team, the planning and reporting rigour behind our Snowflake-owned event series, and the strategic oversight of our highest-profile third-party sponsorships across the region. Your job is to make sure the portfolio as a whole delivers for the business.

You’ll get end-to-end exposure to some of the most visible event investments in enterprise tech, including Davos, Cannes Lions, and Mobile World Congress, alongside Snowflake’s own flagship programmes across the EMEA region.
