About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

You will bring Funzy into the major metropolitan areas of the DACH region and take full operational and strategic responsibility for our monthly pop-up stores from A to Z — including location scouting, logistics, team management, live sales and post-event analysis.
You will be responsible for a seven-figure revenue channel with clear targets, managing budgets and KPIs while keeping both growth and profitability in mind.
You ensure that every sales space reflects the Funzy brand optimally — creative, high-quality and absolutely "Insta-ready."
You establish long-term partnerships and place Funzy where families go: from family cafés and family hotels to concept stores and experiential venues.
You develop creative activations, events and promotions that generate attention, bring people together and drive sales.
You work closely with our marketing team and intelligently extend offline experiences into the digital world.
You recruit, train and motivate local promoters and event teams and ensure that every activation is a success.
You are hands-on and act as the driving force on site behind our pop-ups and activations.

You love achieving goals, making successes visible and get energized when an idea ultimately turns into revenue.
You have a good sense for families, parents and children and understand what motivates our target group.
