EVENT OPERATIONS MANAGER - BERLIN - RELOCATION REQUIRED.

🚨 EVENT OPERATIONS MANAGER | BERLIN | RELOCATION REQUIRED

London-based event professionals - this one could be worth a look. 👀

I'm working with a rapidly growing European Deep Tech & AI business that is scaling its event portfolio across Europe, and they're looking for an experienced Operations Manager to take ownership of the production and delivery of major events.

This is a Berlin-based opportunity, so relocation to Berlin will be required.

And this isn't a role where you'll simply book suppliers and tick boxes.

You'll be responsible for turning the event plan into reality - from the first supplier booking through to the final truck leaving the venue. 🏗️🎤

You'll be making sure:

🔹 A 6,000+ attendee event runs smoothly from start to finish
🔹 Venues are transformed into high-quality event spaces
🔹 Suppliers deliver on time and to specification
🔹 Budgets are controlled and negotiated effectively
🔹 Build and breakdown schedules stay on track
🔹 Attendee journeys are seamless
🔹 Sponsors and exhibitors receive what they've been promised
🔹 Large on-site teams are properly briefed and managed
🔹 Problems are solved quickly and calmly when things change
🔹 Everything is ready when the doors open

🧠 What we're looking for

You'll ideally have 4+ years' experience in event operations or production, with a strong track record delivering conferences, exhibitions or trade shows with 1,000+ attendees.

You'll be comfortable with:

📋 End-to-end event production
💷 Significant budgets & cost control
🤝 Supplier negotiation & management
🚛 Build, breakdown & venue logistics
👥 Leading large on-site teams
🎯 Attendee experience
📐 Floorplans, staging, AV & production
⚡ Making decisions under pressure

We're looking for someone who spots the detail, takes ownership and knows how to keep an event moving when things don't go to plan.

📍 Berlin - relocation required

This is a Berlin-based role and you'll need to be willing to relocate.

The role will also involve travel to other European event locations.

🇩🇪 German is advantageous, but not essential.

💰 What's on offer?

Competitive salary and package, dependent on experience, including:

✨ Competitive base salary
✨ Performance-related bonus
✨ Equity participation

🚀 Why consider it?

You'll have genuine ownership over major European events, a significant operational budget and the opportunity to help build the production team as the business grows.

You'll be working closely with senior leadership and will have the opportunity to build processes, shape the operation and raise the standard of how these events are delivered.

If you're currently in London and open to a move to Berlin, I'd love to hear from you. 🇬🇧➡️🇩🇪
