What will you be doing?

You use your knowledge and your network to strategically respond to opportunities that lie ahead. You share your insights with the marketing team, discussing the most successful marketing plan. You set out your sales strategy and activities based on the different segments and target groups, being Corporate events, brand events and public events.

Besides ambition and dedication, we thrive on fun, laughter, and creative ideas. Although we are internationally orientated, which requires a certain amount of traveling and an international focus and ambition, traveling will not be the main aspect of the position.
