(Junior) Event Manager

Job Description

Hey!

We are vly – an innovative FoodTech startup from Berlin that is revolutionizing the food industry. Our goal: healthy, plant-based milk alternatives that are not only good for you but also for our planet. After years of research, we have developed products that contain significantly less sugar and more protein, have won awards, and are available throughout Germany – like our milk alternatives made from pea protein and the very first yogurt made from fava bean protein. But that's just the beginning! In addition to constantly improving our products, recognition and actual tasting are of course further important drivers for the future of vly. This is where your next step at vly begins...

Your mission as a (Junior) Event Manager will be to convince as many people as possible of vly as a healthy & sustainable brand by making the brand and products tangible for our target audience.

Your Role / Your Tasks:

• Event Organization: Independent organization, planning, and execution of trade fairs, tastings, pop-ups, brand events, event sponsoring, internal events, and active on-site support.
• Project and Time Management: Creation and monitoring of schedules, checklists, and timelines for the smooth execution of all events.
• Partner and Service Provider Management: Clear communication and reliable coordination with external partners, locations, suppliers, and agencies.
• Logistics & Warehousing: Independent management of event logistics – from material ordering and warehouse organization to transport.
• On-site Team Leadership: Briefing, coordination, and supervision of promoters and event assistants during their assignments.
• Concept Development & Innovation: Active involvement in shaping new event formats through research, idea generation, presentations, and contributing own impulses in internal meetings.
• Follow-up & Reporting: Documentation and evaluation of events (e.g., feedback analysis, photo selection, creation of reports) for continuous optimization.
• Event Administration: Allocation and maintenance of budgets, invoice filing, management of participant lists, and maintenance of the event database and material overview.

Your Benefits:

• Purpose: It is absolutely essential that the food system changes for the better. Your role directly contributes to making it healthier and more sustainable.
• Real Team Spirit: A creative and motivated team that sticks together – including regular vly-Day events, joint team lunches, and offsite events.
• Personal Growth and Experience: Insight into the event & brand activation of one of Europe's most exciting food startups. Diverse tasks, defined responsibilities, and genuine trust. Travel, working in different locations.
• Mobility: Subsidy for BVG / Deutschland-Ticket.
• Company Fitness: Subsidy for your Urban Sports Club membership.
• vly Flat Rate: Enjoy as much vly as you want!

Job Requirements

Your Profile:

• Professional Experience: You have 2+ years of professional experience in event management or trade fair organization (e.g., from company event departments or event agencies). As a junior, you have professional experience from internships, part-time jobs, or larger private projects at a minimum.
• Education: You have successfully completed a commercial apprenticeship (e.g., Eventkaufmann/-frau, Kaufmann/-frau für Marketingkommunikation) or a corresponding degree.
• Hands-on Mentality & Stress Resilience: You remain calm even in dynamic phases, think solution-oriented, and take initiative operationally and administratively on your own responsibility. Multitasking and flexible working hours (including weekend work for events) do not bother you.
• Work Style: A structured, independent way of working characterizes you just as much as clear communication and enjoyment of teamwork. You will be in the office weekly, therefore living in Berlin is a requirement.
• Language Skills: You communicate fluently in German and have very good English skills.
• Tools: Proficient use of MS Office or Google Workspace (especially Excel/Sheets and PowerPoint/Slides) is part of your toolkit.

Ready to change the world of food? Then apply now and become part of vly! We look forward to getting to know you.
