At Snowflake, your role isn't just to execute a function, but to help redefine the future of how work gets done.

• Support the implementation, optimization, and ongoing administration of meetings and event technology, including sourcing platforms, venue booking tools, registration systems, reporting solutions, payment capabilities, and future AI-enabled workflows.

• Build dashboards, reporting, and KPIs that provide visibility into event spend, supplier performance, savings, attendee experience, policy compliance, and program health.

• Identify opportunities to simplify processes, improve automation, and enhance the user experience through technology and AI.

• Develop playbooks, documentation, and standardized processes that enable scalable event planning across the organization.

• Ensure compliance with company policies, risk management requirements, and financial controls throughout the event lifecycle.

• Stay informed on industry trends, supplier innovations, emerging technologies, and best practices to continuously improve the Meetings & Events program.

• Support additional strategic Travel & Expense initiatives and cross-functional projects as the program evolves.
