We keep it real – as a diverse team of talented individuals, we act together to make our world a happier place.
We are a community - not because we work together, but because we trust, respect and care for each other. We have unique passions, common goals, and a clear brand manifesto that keeps us focused. Our purpose, our mission, our beliefs, our culture, our values, and everything else in between guides our action. Pretty much the only thing our manifesto won’t tell you is how to play your role in our community; we have a culture of responsibility – so that’s something you’re going to have to figure out yourself. But of course, we will empower you on your journey through leadership that favors context over control.
Inspired by the spirit of sports, we also cultivate an active mindset in everything we do. We believe creativity and agility thrive with fast decision-making and by embracing process-light paths. So be ready to make your ideas happen, be yourself and bring your entrepreneurial spirit.Your opportunity as JUNIOR EVENT MANAGER (f/m/d) will be to take care of event initiatives, projects, and actions.
