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.

Where to Advertise Cloud Computing Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising cloud computing jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool is large relative to other deep tech disciplines but highly segmented — cloud architects, DevOps engineers, platform engineers, FinOps specialists and cloud security professionals each occupy distinct communities with different job search behaviours, certification profiles and salary expectations. General job boards reach a broad audience but struggle to differentiate between these disciplines, producing high application volumes but low candidate quality for specialist cloud roles. This guide, published by CloudComputingJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise cloud computing roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Cloud Computing Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Cloud computing is the infrastructure layer on which the modern digital economy runs — and the jobs market that has grown around it is one of the largest, most sustained, and most structurally resilient in the entire technology sector. But the cloud computing jobs market of 2026 looks quite different from the one that existed three years ago, and the next three years will bring further change at a pace that rewards those who understand the direction of travel. The migration phase that defined cloud hiring for much of the previous decade is largely complete for enterprise organisations. The question for most UK businesses is no longer whether to move to the cloud but how to operate, optimise, and secure what they have already built there — and how to integrate the wave of AI capability that is now being delivered primarily through cloud infrastructure. That shift has profound implications for which cloud skills are in demand, which roles are growing, and which are beginning to plateau. At the same time, new architectural patterns — multi-cloud, cloud-native, serverless, and the growing integration of edge computing with centralised cloud infrastructure — are creating entirely new categories of specialist expertise that employers are actively competing to hire. The cloud computing jobs market of 2026 is not contracting. It is evolving, and evolving in ways that create significant opportunity for job seekers who are building the right skills. This article breaks down what the UK cloud computing jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.

New Cloud Computing Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Powering the Digital Economy

Cloud computing is no longer just a backbone technology—it is now the engine of digital transformation, underpinning everything from AI and fintech to healthcare and government services. For professionals browsing CloudComputingJobs.co.uk, the biggest opportunities lie with new and fast-scaling employers that are investing heavily in infrastructure, platforms, and next-generation cloud services. In this article, we explore the new cloud computing employers to watch in 2026, focusing on UK-based startups, scale-ups, and global companies expanding their footprint across Britain. These organisations have recently secured funding, launched major projects, or won strategic contracts—clear signals of hiring growth.
