. What matters most to us in this role

As Project Manager you lead projects and people. Even with several complex events running at the same time, you keep the overview and know at any moment where your projects stand in terms of content, organization and commercial performance.

Good leadership is an essential part of this position for us. You create clear structures, communicate transparently, provide orientation and lead your project teams appreciatively, reliably and with a high standard of quality.

You combine creative ambition with entrepreneurial thinking, make decisions and build trust – both within the team and towards our clients.

Our ambition is to realize events that excite creatively, are delivered excellently and are managed commercially successfully.

. What you can expect from us

• A work environment with high standards: our office is located in the Omniturm in the heart of Frankfurt – one of the most famous and modern buildings in Germany. A high-quality and modern environment for an agency that wants to keep evolving.
• Responsibility & influence: you lead demanding projects and internal teams and get the necessary room to make decisions and to truly live responsibility.
• Shaping the agency: we are not a rigid organization. Your experience, your ideas and your leadership can have a direct influence on how we run projects and develop mars further.
• Demanding national and international projects: you work with well-known clients, lead complex events and take on responsibility for quality and commercial success.
• Personal development: experienced team members should keep growing too. That's why we create an individual learning and development program together that fits your personal goals.
• An attractive overall package: a good salary, bonus opportunities and further benefits await you.
• Team means more to us than working together: we deliberately invest in shared experiences – for example with team trips within Germany and Europe.
• We can celebrate at least as well as we work: especially at our Christmas parties, things are allowed to get creative, extraordinary and sometimes a little bigger. When we celebrate together, we want to make it a real experience.
