Director, Global Brand Experience (Events)

Snap Inc is a technology company. We believe the camera presents the greatest opportunity to improve the way people live and communicate. Snap contributes to human progress by empowering people to express themselves, live in the moment, learn about the world, and have fun together. The Company’s three core products are Snapchat, a visual messaging app that enhances your relationships with friends, family, and the world; Lens Studio, an augmented reality platform that powers AR across Snapchat and other services; and its AR glasses, Spectacles. The Global Brand Experience (GBX) team brings Snap’s brands to life through immersive events, innovative creative technology and AR and Spectacles experiences for our community, creators, partners, clients, and consumers. We collaborate across Snap to maintain a unified brand presence at global events and partner environments, consumer experiences, and to reinforce Snap’s cultural and brand relevance.

What you’ll do:

• Lead the vision, strategy, and roadmap for a portfolio of global brand experiences (B2B, consumer, partner, creator, and internal events) across EMEA and APAC, aligning them to company‑level and marketing priorities.
• Own end‑to‑end delivery of flagship experiences — from strategy and brief, through creative development, production, on‑site execution, and post‑event measurement.
• Manage, coach, and develop a team of brand experience leaders and producers across multiple markets, fostering an inclusive, high‑performance culture grounded in Snap’s values of being Kind, Smart, and Creative.
• Partner closely with regional international leaders and cross‑functional partners (Marketing, Comms, Product, Sales, Partnerships, AR/Specs, and others) to ensure experiences are locally relevant, globally consistent, and tightly integrated with go‑to‑market plans.
• Translate complex product and AR narratives into simple, emotionally resonant experiential stories that help audiences understand Snap’s brand, products, and value.
• Establish and manage budgets, timelines, agencies, and vendors; ensure operational excellence, risk management, and high‑quality execution at scale.
• Define success metrics and measurement approaches for experiences (e.g., awareness, familiarity, consideration, pipeline/revenue contribution, engagement), and use insights to continuously improve the portfolio.
• Champion innovative use of creative technology, AR, and Spectacles within experiences; pilot new formats, platforms, and storytelling techniques that differentiate Snap in the market.
• Contribute to broader GBX and Marketing leadership discussions, including org health, talent development, and long‑term capability building for the brand experience function.
