OPERATIONS MANAGER - PHARMA EVENTS (f/m/d)

At egg we make experiences. Real ones.

The kind that take creativity, sharp thinking, attention to detail and, every now and then, a sense of humour when everything changes five minutes before launch.

We work across countries, cultures and clients, so things move fast and no two days look the same. That's part of what we enjoy. It also means we need people who can stay calm under pressure, take ownership and care about getting things right.

We laugh a lot too. Sometimes at work. Mostly at ourselves.

Which brings us to you

You understand that great client experiences don't happen by chance. They are the result of strong processes, effective planning, clear accountability and teams that have the support they need to perform at their best.

You enjoy helping people succeed, bringing structure to complexity and ensuring that projects are delivered consistently, compliantly and efficiently. You're equally comfortable discussing account performance with senior stakeholders, mentoring project teams or stepping into an event when operational support is needed.

Most importantly, you take ownership, support others and help create an environment where excellence becomes the standard. No half-cracked eggs.
