Descriere
Our partner has invited the region's foremost creative minds, technologists and innovators to participate in our event, where inspiration, ideas and knowledge is shared directly between individuals leading to projects and collaborations. Listen to disruptive technology speakers deliver insights into what the future may actually be like, be inspired by successful entrepreneurs that usually got where they are by making tons of mistakes, have coffee with investors, a beer with marketing professionals, or simply recharge your battery by socializing with your peers!
We reached a phase where we want to open this role for an ambitious, curious (i.e. passion for tech & events), and detail-oriented individual to take over the following responsibilities:
- Day-to-day management of the team and their results:
- Work & support team members so that they achieve their goals;
- Train replacements that can take over when a team member is on vacation;
- Get closely acquainted with all tasks that happen within the company so that you can take over anything urgent.
- Execute the plan agreed with the founders:
- Executing means that you’ll be as hands-on as needed whenever there’s a need in any of the departments (business development, speaker acquisition, etc.);
- We set the general direction together and we expect you to implement it;
- The current setup includes 3 areas: own events, dedicated events, and other initiatives.
- Overall company P&L responsibility and profitability:
- Ensure each project hits its revenue & attendance goals;
- Stick to the agreed-upon company budget to hit the profitability target.
- You can recruit new team members who hit their goals out of the park and take things off your plate:
- Once you see how we work, you’ll need to enforce the specific work culture both with existing and new team members;
- Recruiting can be from personal networks or recommendations (preferred) or by finding freelance recruiters (when needed);
- Develop an internship program to focus on extending the team before events and with the goal of finding talent that might be integrated into the team.
We will be screening for candidates who have chemistry with the founding team, have maturity and lack of ego, can identify and hire excellence, and it’s someone that we, the founders, can learn from. Here’ are a few other important things:
- Strong work ethic- this is a high-profile role that will require hard work at times, so if you’re looking for a typical 9 to 5 job and you’re not willing to put in more time, you’re not the right fit;
- You are fast to reply to key stakeholders, no matter the means of communication (email, sms, WhatsApp, slack, Instagram, etc.);
- You follow through;
- You have an entrepreneurial mindset and can think creatively to hit targets;
- Tech savviness is your middle name (ability to learn new tools fast in order to work more efficiently)
- You are flexible & adaptable
Why should you apply?
- Attractive fixed pay
- Results-based pay (depending on your experience and motivation)
- Ability to shape and influence a 10-year-old business with consistent year-over-year growth
