CODE + Design is a dynamic project of CODE University of Applied Sciences dedicated to organising innovative and impactful events for teenagers aged 12-18 years in the Ruhr area, aimed at fostering creativity, collaboration, and learning within the tech and design communities. We are passionate about creating memorable experiences that inspire and empower youngsters to explore new ideas and skills.

In this position, you will be responsible for coordinating all aspects of our CODE Camp events, from conceptualisation and planning to logistics and execution.

As a CODE Camp Event Manager (f/m/x) we’re looking for someone who is able to take on the following responsibilities:

• Develop event concepts, themes, and agendas.

• Plan and execute all logistical aspects of CODE Camp events, including venue selection, catering, equipment rentals, and transportation.

• Manage event budgets and expenses, ensuring cost-effective planning and allocation of resources.

• Recruit and manage event staff and volunteers, providing guidance and support throughout the planning process.

• Oversee on-site event operations, including setup, registration, attendee assistance, and post-event cleanup.

• Evaluate event success and gather feedback from participants to inform future event planning and improvements.

• Cultivate relationships with sponsors, partners, and vendors to support event initiatives and secure additional resources.

• Proven experience (3+ years) in event planning and management, preferably in the technology or design industry.

• Fluency in German and English (minimum C1).

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work collaboratively with cross-functional teams and external stakeholders.

• Flexibility to work evenings and weekends as required by event schedules.

• Familiarity with marketing and promotion strategies.

• Passion for technology, design, and innovation.

We fully appreciate that the boundaries of your knowledge are where you start to grow, so don’t be discouraged if you don’t bring everything we need today. We want to create our future together.
