Senior Event Manager

Senior Event Manager
Munich | Full-time, on-site | Embedded event team on a leading tech campus | German & English required

A global brand experience and event delivery agency is looking for an experienced Senior Event Manager to join its embedded on-site team at the modern Munich campus of one of the world’s leading technology companies.

This is a great setup for a senior event professional who thrives in a fast-paced, multi-stakeholder environment, brings a consultative approach to complex event delivery, and enjoys mentoring an international team.

The role
This is a hands-on, client-facing leadership role for a seasoned event professional who knows how to make high-profile and complex campus events run smoothly - from initial planning through to final wrap-up.
You will be the main point of contact for event hosts, managing a diverse portfolio of events across different business areas, formats, and levels of stakeholder visibility. Events typically range from 50 to 300+ guests and vary in complexity, audience, and operational requirements.
You will work closely with internal service teams, facilities, and external partners while acting as an on-site mentor to guide, train, and support other team members.

What you will be doing

• You will lead consultative planning meetings with event hosts to understand strategic objectives, agendas, room set-ups, catering requirements, technical production needs, and premium branded merchandise.
• You will advise hosts on creative and practical solutions, evaluate venue spaces, and ensure appropriate room allocation and efficient use of space.
• You will coordinate all operational details with internal service teams and external suppliers, managing timelines, documentation, and updates in event management systems.
• On event days, you will oversee on-site execution, coordinate support with the Event Service Specialist, and perform quality checks to ensure smooth delivery.
• You will conduct post-event debriefs, gather feedback, and deliver structured wrap-up reports to support continuous improvement.
• You will act as an on-site mentor, leading group meetings, training new employees, and sharing knowledge to help the team work smarter and more consistently.

What we are looking for

• You have around 5–7 years of experience in event planning, corporate conference services, or a senior event delivery role.
• You have a proven track record of working cross-functionally with high-profile stakeholders, senior executives, internal teams, and external agencies in a fast-paced environment.
• You understand both the practical and strategic details of event delivery, including complex logistics, venue management, digital event platforms, and event databases.
• You are highly organized, proactive, and resourceful, with the ability to manage competing priorities, tight deadlines, and multiple complex events at the same time.
• You are fluent in English and German and confident navigating both local operations and global client relationships.

Practical details

• This is a full-time, on-site role based in Munich, with the flexibility to support events across the campus as needed.
• The role requires flexibility around event schedules, including early mornings, evenings, and occasional weekends.
• The role involves hands-on operational delivery, including prolonged standing, working in tight storage environments, and supporting with manual logistics, including lifting up to 15 kg / 33 lbs.

Why this role?
This is a strong opportunity to shape creative event strategy and deliver world-class execution for a premier global brand.
It would suit a senior event leader who values structure, pace, operational excellence, and the satisfaction of mentoring rising talent within a high-profile corporate campus environment.
