• You are interested in organizing events and community building and want to understand how professional events really work from early planning through on-site execution.
• You help ensure our events are professionally planned, thoroughly coordinated, and reliably executed—and learn how event management and community building truly interact in a growing environment.
• You actively contribute to ongoing project and event management for the Merchant Inspiration Talks and other community events.
• You research vendors, pricing, and new ideas (e.g., catering, side events, program elements) and prepare decision-making materials.
• You support communication with speakers, sponsors, partners, venues, and vendors.
• You contribute to the planning and concept development of new community formats for 2027.
• You take responsibility for logistics, materials planning, and organizational back-office tasks related to the events.

• You work in a structured, reliable, and careful manner—even when multiple tasks are running in parallel.
• You communicate clearly, politely, and professionally—both in writing and verbally—in German (English is a plus).
• You are interested in events, e‑commerce, and digital community formats.
• You are comfortable with common digital tools (e.g., Google Docs, Sheets, Notion) or can learn them quickly.
• You bring a proactive, solution-oriented working style and a high degree of initiative.
• You work independently and strive to implement things pragmatically with a hands-on mentality.
