Experienced project manager

Ambitious corporate event professional
Obsession
An event manager works independently and as part of a team on multiple projects. An experienced project manager works with us independently and in a team on several projects at the same time. In addition to being a team player, you also like to be in control and you take responsibility and leadership in a project. You coordinate suppliers, ranging from catering and décor to speakers, entertainment, technology and locations. During the project you have a supporting role as executor. It is up to the Project Manager not to lose sight of the creative and strategic proposal with the associated objectives during production. In addition, because of your experience, you also have an advisory role and you guide our less experienced colleagues.
Are you the extraordinary talent we are looking for?
