Join our team!

We’re passionate about spectacular live moments, groundbreaking brand architecture, and emotional experiences. We don’t just plan events, we build immersive worlds. For our ambitious projects in the premium segment, we’re looking for an organized professional who can bridge the gap between creative design, technical feasibility, and cost-effective execution. Are you passionate about innovative event concepts, able to keep a cool head even when dealing with complex festival and trade show setups, and do you love the dynamic agency lifestyle? Then you’ve come to the right place!

Your Tasks

  • Service Provider Management: You will be independently responsible for managing and coordinating all partners and service providers in the areas of trade show construction, event production, and overall event logistics.
  • Liaison with the Architecture Department: Working closely with our in-house architecture department, you’ll review creative concepts and technical drawings to ensure their structural feasibility and logistical viability.
  • Cost Estimation & Budget Management: You’ll prepare precise cost and resource estimates for the development and construction of event, festival, and trade show structures, while keeping a close eye on the budget at all times.
  • Structured Project Management: Using agile and traditional methods, you will efficiently manage projects through all phases—from the initial design to the successful on-site rollout in a dynamic environment.
  • Confident Client and Expectation Management: You will present concepts and technical solutions with confidence and persuasiveness in the premium segment and maintain transparent, clear communication on an equal footing.

Your Profile

  • Experience in Event and Trade Show Construction: You have several years of solid, relevant professional experience in project management for temporary structures (trade shows, festivals, major events)—this is a requirement for this position.
  • Technical and Construction Knowledge: You possess strong technical expertise, can read and evaluate construction plans and technical drawings, and have a keen understanding of materials and logistics processes.
  • Confidence in Public Speaking: You are accustomed to structuring complex topics in an understandable way and presenting them confidently to discerning clients in the premium segment.
  • Organizational & Problem-Solving Skills: You stand out for your structured, solution-oriented approach to work and always maintain a clear overview and a sense of humor, even during the most intense phases of projects in a dynamic environment.
  • Strong Communication Skills: Fluency in German and English, along with a confident, professional demeanor, perfectly round out your profile.

Benefits

  • Bye-bye boredom – we offer flexible models such as home office options, individual hourly arrangements, and job rotation.
  • Wanderlust? With us, you have the opportunity to work remotely worldwide for up to three weeks per year.
  • Cycle in the countryside, work out at the gym, or go on an extensive shopping spree – a company bike, discounted Body & Soul membership, and numerous discount promotions make it possible.
  • Be part of our legendary team and company events. These are all about gathering inspiration, exchanging ideas, and networking.
  • And don't forget: with us, you'll spend your coffee and lunch breaks on Munich's most beautiful rooftop terrace with its own barista and real sheep.
