Events Lead

Join Norrsken House Amsterdam as the Events Lead, where you'll play a vital role in driving positive change through impactful events. You'll be responsible for planning and executing a diverse range of events, coordinating with external partners, collaborating with the team, and conducting post-event evaluations. This role requires strong interpersonal and communication skills, exceptional organizational abilities, and a passion for bringing people together.

• Plan and execute a diverse range of events for internal and external stakeholders, ensuring every event runs exactly as planned.
• Coordinate with external partners for food and beverage, technology, and IT to ensure a seamless experience.
• Conduct surveys and evaluations post-event to recognize successes, flag challenges, and improve future events.
• Team player and a doer who rolls up your sleeves to get good sh*t done: You love the thrill of managing high-stakes logistics, working in a collaborative setting where we put impact over ego and the experience for our members and guests first
• Excited about events and bringing people together: You have strong interpersonal and communication skills and are deeply motivated by driving the “behind the scenes” to make people come together
• A problem-solver, cool under pressure: You have exceptional organizational skills and tackle unforeseen circumstances with full force. You are the calmest person in the room when a technical issue happens or a schedule shifts at the last minute
• Ability to create stand-out experiences. You know what it takes to produce events that make people sit up, take notice, and walk away with real, actionable value
• Have an eye for details: You spot the small things that others miss; whether it’s a slide format that looks off, a misplaced sign, or a bottleneck at the registration desk. You’ve solved these before anyone noticed
• 4+ years of experience in events, marketing, hospitality, project management or similar
• Proven experience working with external suppliers (like catering companies, technical crews, and decorators). You have a track record of managing event budgets and negotiating to get the best possible value
• Excellent communication skills, both written and spoken, in Dutch and English
• Experience working in fast-paced environments where things change quickly, like tech hubs, co-working spaces, cultural venues, or high-end hospitality. You are used to a busy event calendar with moving parts
