  • Extremely detail‑oriented and strongly process‑driven

  • Proven experience in budget creation, management, and consolidation

  • Fluency in spoken and written English and German (no scrambled Eier at egg, bitte)

Nice to haves

  • Event agency experience, ideally combined with hands-on knowledge of production workflows

  • Proficient using Cvent

What we bring to the table

  • A dynamic and inclusive company culture where we work really hard to have the right people doing the right job. (We’ve been known to swap or create jobs in the past to make sure everyone is in their career sweet spot.)

  • Salary based on experience + performance-based annual variable pay bonus

  • One paid day per year to volunteer for a cause or organization of your choice

  • Creative and brilliant colleagues

  • Attractive career opportunities, including international assignments

  • An annual get-together in some of the fanciest locations on the planet. We’ve been to Paris, New York, Dubai, Brussels and more recently to Marrakech. Any ideas for 2026/7?

About egg

Founded in early 2000, EGG is an international experiential communication agency, 100% independent, specialized in the conception, management and production of events (physical, virtual, hybrid) and communication programs for clients worldwide with offices in France, Switzerland, Belgium, USA, Italy, UAE, Spain, KSA & Germany.

Over the years, we’ve created and produced meetings and other events for some of the biggest names in the global pharmaceutical and healthcare industries and we’re a steadily growing reference in the technology, sports, luxury goods and financial services sectors, too.

Okay, that’s the formal stuff out of the way. Let’s get to the bit you really care about.

How do we work? And, more importantly, why should you work with us?

Well, if you like people who really listen to what you need, who know how to push creative boundaries to produce memorable, one-of-a-kind events without compromising your key strategic and business goals, then you’ll like us. And we’ll like you too. So just think how great we’ll be together.

Put some EGG in your event

We think great ideas start with great people. We value creativity, collaboration and good old-fashioned hard work. We think it’s better to stand out from the crowd than to be just a face in the crowd.

We’re passionate, innovative, can-do people, with talent to spare.

Your mom would love us.
