Demo Asset Manager (m/f/d)

Headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, Evident employs around 4,500 people at a total of 57 locations worldwide. Evident Europe, headquartered in Hamburg, Germany, employs approximately 770 people in 16 countries. The product portfolio includes a wide range of microscope systems used in clinical diagnostics, medical and basic research, as well as in various industrial areas.

Are you a structured, analytical professional with a passion for high-tech equipment and operational excellence?

As our Demo Asset Manager, you will oversee the lifecycle and allocation of Evident´s demonstration equipment across the EMEA region. Acting as the central interface between Sales, Product Management, Service, Finance, and Operations, you will balance equipment availability and presentation quality against budget and cost constraints.

In this role, you will lead a team of two Demo Coordinators, optimize capex planning, and ensure full transparency and data consistency across procurement and management systems.

• Prototype & New Launch Support: Coordinate non-standard procurement processes for prototype equipment and high-value product launches prior to standard system availability.
• Inventory & Asset Tracking: Track asset condition, value, order dates, and availability across the EMEA region to ensure delivery deadlines and equipment readiness are met.
