Job Description

At ServiceNow, we believe in creating exceptional experiences that inspire, engage and connect people.

As we continue our rapid growth – both as a company AND as a brand - we’re looking for a passionate and visionary Experiential Creative Lead to join our team.

This leader will be responsible for conceptualizing, planning, and executing innovative events that showcase our brand, engage our customers, and foster community.

From Knowledge, our annual flagship event with 20K+ in-person attendees, to our regional World Forums, to a variety of other event moments throughout the year – this leader will help to create memorable experiences that resonate with our audiences and bring our brand promise to life.

What you get to do in this role:

• Vision, evangelize and bring to life a new era of experiences for our portfolio of events.
• Manage and inspire a team of creatives and agency partners to execute world-class events that surprise and delight our customers, employees, and community members.
• Dream up big ways to bring our industry-leading solutions and inspiring customer stories to life in impactful and immersive ways across all touchpoints (in the keynotes, in venue signage, on the expo floors, etc.).
• Define an overarching creative strategy for how we approach events - what we want attendees to think/feel, the tone of our communications, etc.
• Guide the development of all communications surrounding the event - from pre-event comms to registration to post-show follow-ups.
• Lead the development of event guidelines and toolkits, to enable regional and business unit teams responsible for putting on events in their respective areas.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience in the creative industry – with at least 5 years of working on large-scale events, ideally some experience with best-in-class experience in the technology space.
• Exceptional ability to lead, influence, and work across organizational boundaries with a consistent history of cross-functional collaboration.
• Proven ability to lead by example and consistently inspire creative colleagues to create differentiating, pioneering ideas that conceptualize world-class solutions.
• Obsessed with finding the inspiring truths that lead to creative thinking that solves creative problems and propels our events into the future.
• Strong presenter with an ability to sell creative thinking and ideas across the organization and with senior-level executives.
• Must be a believer in the power of brand - and the importance of applying the brand consistently across all customer touchpoints, including those associated with events.
• A curious learner with a growth mindset and an ability to quickly absorb information and learn on the job.
• Experience working quickly and nimbly under pressure.
• Impeccable attention to detail across all aspects of the event experience.
