SENIOR EVENT MANAGER (f/m/d)
If this sounds like you, then you might be our new Project Director!
Working at egg isn’t just a job. It’s about making compelling and inspiring experiences for our clients and their audiences.
We work hard to create the magic. But we know how to have fun too. And it beats being just another cog in a faceless machine.
Bring your authentic self

Which brings us to you.
You’re passionate about events and thrive on exceeding clients’ expectations, even when faced with demanding requests. Details matter to you, and you maintain a laser focus on deadlines. You possess strong client management skills and a robust character, never intimidated by challenges. Additionally, you’re a people person—an adaptable team player who knows how to make your colleagues LOL while driving your team to success.

What we bring to the table

- Salary based on experience + performance-based annual variable pay bonus
- Creative and brilliant colleagues
