Event Operations Manager

Do you love festivals and events and want to ensure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes? Then you’re in the right place with us!

Our Mission

• Care Free: Our core value is ensuring that users of our lockers have the easiest possible user experience.
• Innovative: We are engaged and fascinated by new technologies and expect you to actively apply new insights and ideas to your work.
• Flexibility: Mobile Locker is a young and fast-growing company. We’re looking for colleagues who are ready to go all in, think beyond their core responsibilities, and help build a true success story together.

Your Mission

As an Event Operations Manager, you are responsible for both the operational success of our events and the commercial growth of our festival network. You manage existing festivals, ensure flawless execution on-site, and actively contribute to expanding Mobile Locker by following up incoming sales requests and initiating new collaborations.

You’ll be the face of Mobile Locker on-site and a trusted partner for festival organizers — operationally and commercially.

Your Daily Role

• On-Site Operations: You’re in the heart of the festival action: Leading crews, coordinating processes, and ensuring the locker zone runs smoothly.
• Planning & Coordination: You recruit and schedule crews, monitor performance, and handle administrative follow-up.
• Sales & Relationships: You follow up incoming sales leads, maintain relationships with existing organizers, and actively look for new festivals, events, and partnerships.
• Communication: You act as a key point of contact for organizers, partners, and internal teams.
• Seasonality: Summers are intense and travel-heavy; winters focus more on office work, planning, sales follow-up, and well-earned vacation time.

Your Responsibilities as an Event Operations Manager (m/f/d)

• Festival Operations: Manage existing festivals and events and ensure smooth operations from preparation to breakdown.
• Crew Management: Coordinate crews, prepare contracts, and ensure proper support during production.
• Logistics & Transport: Plan transport with drivers and festivals; arrange additional transport when needed.
• Hands-On Support: Assist with setup or teardown when required.
• Sales & Acquisition:
• Follow up inbound sales requests from festivals and event organizers
• Proactively identify new opportunities, partnerships, and events
• Office & Admin: Maintain event and sales data in our systems and keep internal teams informed.

• Flexibility: You thrive in both festival chaos and structured office environments.

Requirements

• You thrive in a dynamic scale-up environment and enjoy variety.
• The festival and event sector excites you, and you want to be part of this exciting world.
• A traditional 9-to-5 mindset isn’t for you—you’re ready to work evenings and weekends during the festival season.
• You’re proactive and hands-on, even in stressful situations.
• Camping at a festival site doesn’t bother you—you see it as part of the experience.
• You work independently, flexibly, and proactively, taking on responsibilities with ease.
• Tight deadlines, last-minute events, or stressful situations? No problem—you stay calm under pressure.
• You share Mobile Locker’s values: customer service, flexibility, and innovation.
• You hold a Category B driver’s.

Benefits

• Full-Time Position with Growth Opportunities: Work at an innovative, growing company that supports your development.
