Job description

We are Last Mile Solutions

With over 364,000 charging points and 2.5 million charging cards across 22 countries, Last Mile Solutions is Europe’s leading platform for EV charging and energy transaction management.

Our mission is simplifying the energy transition and creating a sustainable world by turning energy into value.

Our events are where our brand comes to life. Every trade show, webinar and Partner event is a chance to turn energy into value: to connect Partners, prospects and colleagues.

That is why we are looking for an experienced Event Manager with the energy and drive to make it happen. Someone who has already run events on their own, thrives on tight timelines and multiple moving parts, and brings the power to make every event count, from first plan to final evaluation.

Our core values

• Empowering connections
• Exploring with purpose
• Owning our impact

Your role

You independently deliver the Last Mile Solutions events programme: physical events, webinars and Partner events, from preparation to evaluation. Together with the Senior Brand Strategy Manager, you shape the annual event plan and turn it into well-run events with measurable results.

In 2027 you will run about 20 events across Europe, including 3 large stands, 6 smaller presences, 6 webinars and a Partner programme with our own Partner event, dinners and advisory council.

Our events are one of our strongest brand touchpoints. You create the event and webinar materials and content, in line with our brand guidelines. You work closely with cross-functional teams and external partners to ensure every event runs smoothly and every message stays on brand.

You are based in our Rotterdam office (3 days a week), and travel across Europe is regular, including occasionally a full week away.

What you will do

Event management

• Run every event end-to-end: timeline, logistics and delivery on the day(s), within the approved budget.
• Plan and run trade shows, conferences, stands and speaking slots, including stand build, travel, accommodation and on-site management.
• Produce webinars end-to-end on our webinar platform: planning, speakers and moderator, rehearsals, run of show and technical set-up.
• Own the delivery of our Partner event and organise the Partner advisory council, the Partner dinners, and other Partner and customer events.
• Select, brief and manage suppliers (stand builders, venues, hotels, print, AV, etc.).
• Prepare and track budgets per event, collect quotes and report actuals against budget.
• Brief and align internal teams on roles, messaging and timing.
• Provide operational support for the new modular stand concept (ready June 2027) and the stand studio pilot.
• Keep playbooks, checklists and event files up to date.

Event content and activation

• Plan and deliver pre- and post-event activation including announcements, social posts, invitations and recaps.
• Repurpose event and webinar content afterwards.
• Create event and webinar content in line with the brand guidelines.
• Report on the reach and results of event and webinar activation.

Plan, convert and evaluate

• Maintain the event and webinar calendar and share it monthly.
• Write a full plan or brief, depending on the event size, before each event.
• Lead processing: upload validated contacts to our CRM and hand over leads to the right teams after each event and webinar.
• Share event evaluation after each event: targets versus actuals, what to keep and what to change.
• Make substantiated proposals for next year’s events and develop the annual event plan in collaboration with the Senior Brand Strategy Manager.

What you bring

• 3+ years of hands‑on B2B event management experience, incl, trade shows or exhibitions abroad.
• Proven track record of running events independently end-to-end, incl. supplier management, cross-functional collaboration and budgets.
• Ability to substantiate event proposals with data: audience, costs and expected results.
• Strong planning skills and a structured way of working.
