• You’ll work closely with the marketing manager and help determine event marketing strategies

External events (meetings, corporate events, product launches etc.):

• You’ll organise the event from A-Z; pre-event organisation & communication, event logistics, managing event staff, being point of contact for the client and managing the budget (daily follow up and invoicing)

WHAT DO WE EXPECT FROM YOU?

Everything to do with Event Management: event planning, client contact, budget management, preparation, organisation, and problem-solving. There is no one who can organise and lead an event like you:

• You have experience working in the events industry
• You are a problem solving/practical thinker, you are proactive and troubleshoot problems before they occur
• You thrive in a fast-paced environment and collaborate effectively as part of a team
• You are sociable, with good communication skills (ENG & NL is a must, FR is a plus)
• You are well-organised; can respect timings and are deadline-oriented
• You are proficient in Microsoft Office (e.g., Word, Excel, and PowerPoint)
• You have some roots in Antwerp and have a little black book of contacts in the industry

But above all, you stay ahead of the curve, you're a trendsetter, who knows what's happening in Antwerp before everyone else.

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM US?

• You become part of a dynamic and slightly eccentric team with lots of talented people.
• You’ll play a role in the start and growth of a brand new, modern concept that’s set to conquer Antwerp
• Enough independence and support to grow in your role
• Plenty of opportunities to contribute ideas and collaborate with some awesome brands and artists
• The usual extra-legal benefits

Oh and we’ve got a pretty nice rooftop terrace to enjoy on those rare Belgian summer days.
