Full Job Description

📋 Description

• Own end-to-end planning and execution of Camunda Kickoff, the company’s largest annual global internal event, including venue sourcing, contract negotiation, travel coordination, accommodation, F&B, AV, and on-site operations.
• Manage a network of external vendors with clearly defined SLAs, budgets, and accountability, ensuring high-quality delivery across all event components.
• Partner directly with the CEO, Chief People Officer, and functional leaders to shape the event agenda, ensuring alignment with company strategy, culture, and priorities.
• Curate substantive, engaging content for sessions, working closely with presenters to refine narrative, flow, and relevance—eliminating filler and maximizing attendee impact.
• Build, manage, and track the event budget, reporting accurately on actual spend versus forecast, and ensuring financial accountability across all expenditures.
• Lead post-event retrospectives to capture learnings, measure effectiveness, and implement improvements for future iterations of Camunda Kickoff and other gatherings.
• Design and execute year-round culture and connection programming, including team milestones, recognition events, and seasonal touchpoints that reinforce Camunda’s values and global identity.
• Advise the broader People team on the annual events calendar, prioritizing high-impact moments while preventing Camundi fatigue through thoughtful pacing and strategic timing.
• Develop and maintain scalable, repeatable processes for event planning, vendor management, and stakeholder communication, creating an internal events playbook for team adoption.
• Track and report on event effectiveness using clear metrics tied to attendance, engagement levels, and participant feedback to demonstrate ROI and guide future planning.
• Operate with deep operational discipline in a fast-moving, remote-first environment, adapting quickly to shifting priorities without sacrificing detail or quality.
• Work independently with significant ownership—no large team to manage initially—but with direct access to senior leadership and the authority to make critical decisions.
• Leverage project management tools (e.g., Asana or similar) to maintain organization, timelines, and cross-functional alignment across global stakeholders.
• Bring genuine judgment to every decision: identifying what makes a session meaningful, a room setup effective, and an agenda compelling for a globally distributed workforce.
• Thrive in ambiguity, taking initiative to solve problems proactively and communicate clearly when challenges arise.
• Apply experience working in remote or distributed organizations to design events that bridge geographic distance and foster authentic connection among Camundi who rarely meet in person.

🎯 Requirements

• Five or more years of direct, hands-on experience managing corporate or internal events, specifically including large-scale, multi-day gatherings with international attendees.
• Demonstrated ability to manage complex logistics, multiple vendors, and senior stakeholders simultaneously without losing attention to detail.
• Strong project management skills with proven use of systems and tools to maintain organization, not relying solely on instinct.
• Genuine judgment in curating event content, room setups, and agendas that maximize engagement and avoid filler.
• Comfort working in ambiguity and iterating quickly in a fast-paced, remote-first environment.
• Bias toward action and clear communication when issues arise during event execution.

🏖️ Benefits

• Remote & Flexible: Work from anywhere with a home office budget, co-working space support, and flexible time off.
• In Person Connection: Annual global kickoff events (e.g., Vienna 2025, Madrid 2026), team offsites, and Camundi Connection Budgets for local meetups and travel.
• Health & Wellbeing: Access to locally tailored healthcare, Modern Health for global mental wellbeing, and the Live Well Lifestyle Spending Account (LSA)—up to €1,000 annually starting in 2027—for personal passions, family care, fitness, and financial wellbeing.
• Professional Growth: Up to $/€/£1,000 per year for self-driven learning, including courses, certifications, and books.
