Senior Project Manager Event Solutions (m/f/d)

Temporary contract for two years due to parental leave replacement – full‑time, located in Düsseldorf Area.

As a Senior Project Manager of Event Solutions, you will be responsible for planning, organizing, and executing live, hybrid, and virtual events and accompanying digital brand experience strategies. You independently manage extensive projects and lead multi‑member project teams.

Your Responsibilities

• Plan, coordinate, and implement large live, hybrid, or virtual events.
• Act as the first point of contact for national and international customers, proactively driving the constant exchange of information to all project team members and service providers.
• Prepare meetings, budget rounds, and presentations and conduct them confidently on‑site or virtually.
• Adhere to the budget and targets of your projects, coordinate the tendering process for service providers and trades, and bring the right service partners on board.
• When planning the schedule of events, consider the detailed interaction of different media and formats, technical possibilities, limitations, and the potential for digital assets without losing sight of KPIs and holistic brand communication.
• Ensure a smooth production process and an unforgettable experience for all participants.
• Provide technical direction and support to the project teams and educate juniors through structured supervision.

YOU ARE GOOD AT

• You have several years of professional experience as a project manager in an agency for digital events, live communication, or related industries, with profound insights into medium and large projects.
• Besides live formats, you have organised digital or hybrid events, are tech‑savvy, and can competently manage media production.
• It is an advantage if you have an excellent overview of digital event platforms, video conferencing tools, live streaming providers, streaming studios, and digital tools for interactions, workshops, and breakout meetings, and are familiar with social media components.
• You can empathise with different audiences, correctly assess their technical expertise and needs for digital events, and adequately prepare them for participation.
• You are authentic, conscientious, and independent, can delegate, and confidently assess when you need additional support.
• With a high level of commitment, you can work on several projects and in different teams simultaneously while maintaining an overview, prioritisation, and a sense of humor.
• You are highly proficient in German and English (verbally and in writing). Additional European languages such as French or Italian would be an added value.
