Join NVIDIA as a Senior 3rd Party Events Manager EMEA, where you will manage our third-party event presence across Europe.

You will be part of a dynamic and ambitious team, driving smooth event coordination and presenting NVIDIA's world-class innovation.

What You'll Be Doing

• Lead end-to-end event execution: from event vetting and selection through production, on-site management, and post-event reporting.
• Build and maintain positive connections with European venues, agencies, and third-party event organizers.
• Partner closely with regional marketing, product, and communications teams to ensure NVIDIA's presence reflects brand priorities and business goals.
• Manage event budgets, vendor contracts, and timelines across a dynamic, multi-event portfolio.
• Serve as the primary on-the-ground lead at European events, representing NVIDIA with integrity and precision.
• Identify new third-party event opportunities that align with NVIDIA's strategic priorities in the European market.
• Travel extensively across Europe to complete events and build relationships in market.

What We Need To See

• 8+ overall years of event management experience, including at least 4 years in a management capacity leading teams of five or more with significant time managing third-party or sponsorship events at a global technology or enterprise company.
• At least a bachelors degree or equivalent experience.
• Solid knowledge of the European events scene, encompassing major conferences, trade exhibitions, and local distinctions.
• Proven track record of managing complex, multi-stakeholder events from concept to completion.
• Experience managing event budgets, agency relationships, and vendor contracts across multiple countries.
• Ability to operate independently in a fast paced environment, managing multiple concurrent priorities with strong attention to detail.
• Outstanding communication and collaboration skills — able to work across time zones and cultures with equal ease.
• Willingness to travel frequently across Europe and occasionally globally.

Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd

• Strong established connections with European venues, agencies, and event organizers in key markets.
• Experience managing a major tech company's presence at events like MWC, Hannover Messe, or similar flagship European conferences.
• Background working in a matrixed, high-growth organization where speed and agility are non-negotiable.
• Experience working across both owned and third-party event formats — and knowing when each approach delivers the most value.
