About Euronext

Euronext is the leading pan-European market infrastructure, connecting European economies to global capital markets to accelerate innovation and sustainable growth. With a presence across several European countries, Euronext brings together diverse teams, markets and expertise.

The role

Euronext Lisbon is looking for an Events Intern to join its Events team in Lisbon, supporting the delivery of a diverse programme of corporate, institutional and client events in Portugal, as well as selected international projects.

The team organises more than 30 events a year, ranging from ceremonies and client gatherings to conferences, institutional dinners and internal events. The role offers hands‑on exposure to the full event lifecycle in a dynamic, international environment, with opportunities to work with colleagues, senior stakeholders and external partners across the Euronext Group.

We are looking for someone who already has some practical experience helping to organise events and is keen to build on that foundation in a professional environment. You should be very organised, proactive and attentive to detail, comfortable taking ownership of assigned tasks and following through on commitments, while knowing when to ask questions or seek guidance.

You will contribute from the outset and progressively take on greater responsibility, including coordinating smaller events as your experience and understanding of Euronext develop.

Key responsibilities

1. Event planning and delivery

• Support the planning and delivery of events, from initial preparation through to on‑site execution and post‑event follow‑up.
• Help coordinate event timelines, guest lists, invitations, registrations, speakers, suppliers and logistics.
• Request and compare supplier quotations, support budget tracking and assist with procurement and invoice follow‑up, in line with internal procedures.
• Prepare event materials and coordinate practical arrangements with internal teams, agencies and external partners.
• Support on‑site event delivery, helping ensure a smooth and professional experience for guests and participants.
• Contribute to post‑event follow‑up, reporting, communications and documentation.

2 - Ownership and event coordination

• Take ownership of clearly defined tasks and event workstreams, keeping track of deadlines, details and next steps.
• Follow up proactively with stakeholders and suppliers, flagging potential issues and seeking guidance when needed.
• Progressively coordinate smaller events, such as ceremonies, client lunches and dinners, workshops or internal initiatives, with support from the team.
• Contribute to larger and more complex events, gaining experience in managing multiple stakeholders and operational requirements.

3 - International projects and event operations

• Collaborate with colleagues across the Euronext Group on cross-border events and shared initiatives.
• Support the use and maintenance of event management tools, registration platforms, calendars and reporting dashboards.
• Help maintain clear event documentation, checklists, processes and templates.
• Contribute to the consistent application of event processes and standards across teams and locations.

4 - Communications and continuous improvement

• Assist with event‑related content and materials, including invitations, presentations, signage and internal communications.
• Research event ideas, venues, suppliers and practical solutions.
• Share suggestions to improve event planning, coordination and ways of working.

What we are looking for

Essential

• Previous practical experience in event organisation, ideally involving several stages of the planning and delivery process, such as logistics, timelines, registrations, supplier coordination or on-site support. Experience may come from an internship, part‑time work, university events, a student association or another relevant setting.
• A genuine enthusiasm for events and an interest in how they are planned, organised and delivered behind the scenes.
• Strong organisational and administrative skills, with excellent attention to detail and a structured, methodical approach to work.
• A proactive and reliable approach, with the ability to manage assigned tasks, maintain accurate information, track deadlines and follow up consistently.
• A collaborative, positive attitude and a genuine willingness to contribute to the team's success.
• The ability to remain calm, focused and organised when priorities change or deadlines are tight.
• Good communication skills and a good command of English, both written and spoken.
• Good knowledge of Microsoft Office, particularly Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook.
