Veeam's Global Events team turns tentpole moments like WEF/Davos and RSAC into some of the company's most powerful strategic assets, and as Senior Manager, Third-Party Events, you'll manage that portfolio end to end. You'll carry significant program budgets, partner directly with C-suite stakeholders, and shape how thousands of people experience Veeam's brand at the shows. This is the most senior individual contributor role on the Global Events team, reporting to the Director of Global Events, and it's built for someone who wants to do work they'll still be talking about in ten years.
What You’ll Do- Own the strategy and execution of Veeam's third-party events, including tentpole programs like WEF/Davos and RSAC
- Design experiences that drive real behavior change, not just brand visibility, at every event you touch
- Manage significant program budgets, including vendor contracts, SOWs, and financial reconciliation

- Direct agency partners, vendors, and on-site staff to a consistent standard of execution

- You run several high-stakes events at the same time and none of them suffer for it. You lead people you don’t manage, and they follow because you’ve earned it. You stay decisive when things are unclear because you’ve learned to create clarity rather than wait for it.
- Experience negotiating contracts and managing SOWs, budgets, and reconciliation
- Working knowledge of event platforms such as Salesforce or Cvent
- Active, current use of AI tools in day-to-day event planning and execution
