**A SNAPSHOT OF THIS OPPORTUNITY**
- As part of a project team, you are responsible for the planning, coordination, and implementation of events. Live, hybrid or virtual.
- For our vendors and partners as well as operational stakeholders on our client’s side, you are the operational, everyday contact who proactively, profoundly, and passionately drives the constant exchange and thus provides colleagues and service providers with all relevant information. In doing so, your human nature inspires everyone involved to give their best and promote open exchange.
- You prepare meetings, budget rounds, and presentations as aligned with the project lead and conduct them confidently on-site or virtually.
- You assist with making sure the budget and targets of your projects are being kept up-to-date and followed, coordinating the tendering process for service providers and trades, as well as servicing partners.
- During the production of the events, you will support in ensuring a smooth process and an unforgettable experience for all participants.

**HOW YOU CAN SET YOURSELF APART**
- You have several years of professional experience as a project manager in an agency for digital events, live communication, or related industries and have already gained profound insights into the planning, implementation, and accounting of medium and large projects.
- In addition, to live formats, you have already organized digital or hybrid events, are tech-savvy, and can competently manage media production.
- It is also an advantage if you have an excellent overview of the range of digital event platforms, video conferencing tools, live streaming providers, streaming studios as well as digital tools for interactions, workshops, and breakout meetings and are familiar with social media components.
- You have the ability to empathize with different audiences, correctly assess their technical expertise and needs when attending digital events, and adequately prepare them for participation.
- You are authentic with a conscientious and independent way of working and can delegate, and confidently assess when you need to get support on board.
- With a high level of commitment, you sometimes work on several construction sites and in different teams at the same time and still don't lose your overview, your sense of the right priorities, and most importantly: your sense of humor and your good mood.
- We would like someone with an excellent command of the German and English languages (verbally and in writing). Any additional European language such as French or Italian would be of added value.

**WHAT WE OFFER YOU**
- Our exciting project portfolio offers you an engaging and challenging working environment at a high level.
- Passionate and purposeful colleagues are waiting for you, all of whom achieve extraordinary things in their fields and are passionate team players.
- You've come to the right place if you'd rather conquer new creative territory than tread familiar paths.
- To adequately compensate for the flexibility and commitment required in our project business, we offer you flexible working hours, a working time model with transparent and fair compensation regulations, as well as the opportunity to work from home.
- We never forget to celebrate our successes - spontaneously or legendarily at our cross-location team events, which admittedly come up a bit short at the moment due to a world-famous virus.
- Our daily interaction is characterized by communication at eye
