Job description

People who love bringing people together. Telling the story around it. Making it happen from start to finish.

Not someone who only books a venue. Not someone who waits for a brief.

Help us grow events and communities into one of the core pillars of Scaler Company.

What this role is about

For three and a half years, we have been organising community events, both for ourselves and for our clients.

It has become a clear part of our proposition, and we see a lot of future in it.

We have solid playbooks for different types of events. A strong foundation you can build on, improve and make your own.

Now we are looking for a creative organiser who becomes the driving force behind events, community and content within our team of four. Someone who takes ownership, keeps all the balls in the air and helps us take this to the next level.

What you will do

Events

• Organise and manage our own events and events we run on behalf of clients, from concept to follow up
• Use and further develop our event playbooks
• The split between own events and client events is roughly 50/50 today. This may shift as we grow

Community

• Build and grow engaged communities around Scaler Company and our clients
• Keep members involved between events and find new ways to create value for them

Content

• Make sure there is strong content around every event: announcements, recaps, photos, video and aftermovies
• Create content that strengthens the Scaler Company brand, for example on LinkedIn
• Support client events with fitting content
• Create content yourself where you can, brief and manage freelancers where needed. There is budget to outsource. What matters is that great content gets made

Project management with a commercial twist

• Plan, coordinate and keep projects on time and on budget
• Grow our event proposition commercially with the team: think along in client conversations, shape proposals and concepts, and show clients why they should organise their events through us
• Bringing in sponsors or partners is a big plus

This fits you if you

• Have 3 to 5 years of experience in event management, community building or a similar role
• Are creative and highly organised at the same time
• Take ownership and enjoy being the driving force in a small team
• Have a feel for content and storytelling. Hands on skills in writing, Canva or basic video editing are a plus
• Are comfortable in conversations with clients and like to think commercially
• Communicate well in English. Dutch is a plus

You keep all the balls in the air. Creative in the concept, precise in the execution.

What you get

• A key role with real impact in a small, ambitious team
• The freedom to shape and grow this part of our business
• Proven playbooks and three and a half years of experience to build on
• 32 to 40 hours per week
• A competitive package that matches your experience
• Laptop
• Travel costs covered outside Amsterdam
• Office near the city centre / De Pijp
• Team outings
• Access to founders and operators across our network

You work close to the founders, close to clients and right in the middle of the community. If you want to own something and watch it grow, this is your place.
