- You analyze digital solutions and prepare a recommendation for a more efficient, user-friendly process.
- You plan and oversee creative live experiences for national and international clients in Pharma & Healthcare.
- You take the lead in implementing creative event concepts — delivering unique events and satisfied clients.
- You build and grow relationships with your clients within projects, advise them as needed and run project meetings.
- You coordinate and manage all service providers involved in your events and plan the resources for your project teams.
- You price new proposals, monitor your budgets and close out projects — including reporting and documentation.
- You continuously develop our live, online and hybrid formats and contribute to cross-team projects.
Requirements
- Completed commercial/business training or equivalent qualification
- At least 5 years of professional experience in event management, including contract negotiations, pitches, budgeting and leading small teams
- Fluent in German and English (spoken and written)
- Proficient with standard MS Office applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
- Team-oriented, structured working style, consulting, negotiation and problem-solving skills, and business acumen
- Willingness to travel (approx. 15% of the role)
Benefits
- A workplace built on mutual respect: flat hierarchies, appreciative leadership and transparent decision-making — here your skills matter more than your job title.
- Flexible working arrangements: no core working hours, home office and, in many roles, location-independent work — for more freedom in your job.
- Learning & development that’s enjoyable: Learning Weeks with top speakers, AI courses on our Switch platform or LinkedIn trainings with a paid photoshoot — we want to help you grow.
- A culture that connects: table-football evenings, team challenges, our large annual Celebrate event and regular feel-good activities — fostering community and team spirit.
- International projects with a wow factor: our talents work on exciting projects — from Vienna to Madrid to Namibia — with constant new challenges.
- Mental health & wellbeing in focus: through OpenUp we provide access to sessions with psychologists, coaching and meditation — because your mental health matters to us.
- Sustainability with real impact: our CSR team runs clean-up actions, donation projects, our MCI book club and much more — sustainable action is a mindset, not a trend.
- Equality is a given: fair salary bands and no gender pay gap — equal opportunity and diversity are part of our everyday reality.
- An office that feels like home: modern technology, cozy seating areas, phone booths and a hanging chair — we provide everything you need to perform at your best.
- And yes: your furry friend is welcome too!
- More than just a salary: 30 days of vacation full-time, paid special leave, JobRad (bike leasing), subsidy for the Deutschlandticket — so you get the support you want.
- Family-friendly policies that are lived: we know family comes first. Whether parental leave, childcare subsidies or short-term leave — we support you so you can be there for your family without making professional compromises.
