Junior Event Manager (f/m/x)

IBM iX – Experience the Human Factor.

We create events that leave a lasting impression – digital, live, or hybrid.
To make that happen, we’re looking to strengthen our event team: You already bring some experience, are excited to take on responsibility, and want to not just organize events but actively shape them? Then we’re looking for you – starting as soon as possible, full-time (40 hours/week), on a 2-year fixed-term contract at our Düsseldorf office.

Yours Tasks

• You support the planning and execution of major trade fair appearances (e.g. DMEXCO, OMR), working closely with experienced colleagues and internal departments
• You independently coordinate smaller B2B event formats such as webinars or business breakfasts – from invitations and agenda planning to post-event follow-up
• You assist in organizing internal events in Germany, Croatia, and Austria (e.g. summer and winter parties) as well as regular community formats
• You liaise with internal teams and external vendors, ensuring smooth execution before, during, and after the event
• You prepare content, presentations, and briefings for internal alignments and external partners
• You keep an eye on the event budget, assist in planning, and track spending throughout implementation
• You support project controlling and contribute valuable insights for defining goals, identifying learnings, and analyzing KPIs to continuously improve our event formats

Your Skills

• You have at least 2 years of professional experience in event management (digital, live, or hybrid), ideally in-house or at an agency
• You have experience organizing smaller formats and are eager to grow into larger-scale projects
• You work in a structured, detail-oriented, and hands-on manner – even when things get busy
• You enjoy working with stakeholders and present yourself in a confident and professional way
• You’re familiar with standard tools (e.g. MS Office, Slack, Monday) and are quick to learn new ones
• You have excellent written and spoken communication skills in both German and English
• You have a strong eye for detail and a good sense for brand presence and quality
  Occasional national and international travel is no problem for you
• You have a basic technical understanding and an affinity for digital topics and social media – ideally with some initial experience using AI tools
