Role overview
Job description
We are seeking a Director of Events to lead the planning and delivery of NVIDIA's most significant and high-profile events. You will act as a strategic collaborator throughout the company — partnering with business units, product teams, marketing, communications, and executive leadership. NVIDIA is widely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers! We have some of the most forward-thinking and hardworking people in the world working for us. If you're creative and autonomous, we want to hear from you!
What you'll be doing:
Own and drive the overall strategy for assigned flagship events — defining goals, structure, and success metrics in partnership with senior leadership.
Work across NVIDIA's business units, product teams, marketing, and communications organizations to align events with company priorities and ensure cross-functional agreement and implementation.
Function as the chief strategic and operational authority — guiding and managing teams through every workstream stage, from idea development to on-site delivery and subsequent event evaluation.
Drive the creative and experiential vision in close partnership with creative, content, and brand teams.
Manage large, complex budgets — tracking costs, forecasting, and driving financial accountability across a multi-million dollar event portfolio.
Serve as the primary executive point of contact, providing leadership with regular updates, critical issues, and strategic recommendations.
Lead all vendor, agency, and venue relationships — holding external partners accountable to the highest standards of quality and delivery.
Develop and manage master event timelines, ensuring all workstreams stay on track and interdependencies are clearly mapped.
What we need to see:
12+ overall years of event management experience with 5+ years of management experience, with significant time in large-scale, owned event production at a major technology company.
Bachelor's degree in Business, Marketing, Communications, or related field, or equivalent experience. MBA or relevant advanced degree preferred.
Proven experience owning events of 10,000+ attendees, including complex multi-day formats with keynotes, breakouts, exhibitions, and networking.
Demonstrated ability to handle extensive event budgets while maintaining full financial oversight.
This role requires approximately 60% domestic and international travel for event planning and execution.
Deep understanding of how large-scale events drive business impact — from brand and pipeline to partner engagement and executive relationships.
Outstanding cross-functional collaboration skills — a natural dot-connector who can work across business units, build alignment quickly, and influence without authority.
Executive presence and communication skills; comfortable working directly with C-suite collaborators and representing the events organization at the highest levels.
Deep expertise in event production: staging, A/V, venue negotiations, vendor management, and on-site logistics.
Comfortable owning complex, high-stakes work end-to-end.
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
Experience producing a flagship technology conference at scale — think Salesforce Dreamforce, AWS re:Invent, Google I/O, or a comparable event.
Demonstrated success in advancing a large-scale event program — improving quality, ambition, and measurable business impact year after year.
Experience building the case for events and communicating event value to senior leadership in a way that resonates.
A deep passion for NVIDIA's mission and an understanding of what it means to produce events that move an industry.
You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
This posting is for an existing vacancy.
