## Description

### **About the role**

Are you a strategic leader with a strong affinity for events and festivals?  
Mobile Locker is looking for a Chief of Events to lead our event organization across multiple countries and take our festival operations to the next level — strategically, commercially, and structurally. This role is not about daily operational execution, but about setting direction, aligning teams, optimizing capacity and costs, and strengthening partnerships across our European markets.

### **Your responsibilities**

As Chief of Events, you will:

-   Provide strategic leadership to the Event teams across multiple countries, managing Team Leads and ensuring alignment in vision, priorities, and ways of working.
-   Act as the central point of coordination between countries, ensuring consistency in processes, planning, reporting, and execution standards.
-   Define and monitor budgets, cost structures, and margins within the Events organization, with a strong focus on optimization and scalability.
-   Oversee capacity planning of Mobile Locker units, anticipating future needs based on growth, market demand, and commercial strategy.
-   Work closely with Sales, Operations, Warehouse, and Finance to ensure commercial feasibility and operational efficiency.
-   Support and strengthen partnerships (local and international), ensuring long-term collaboration, clear expectations, and smooth cooperation.
-   Represent Mobile Locker at A-festivals, fairs and key events across different countries, focusing on networking, relationship-building, and strategic presence.
-   Ensure the Events organization is prepared for growth by structuring teams, roles, and responsibilities in a sustainable way.
-   Drive a shared mindset and culture across countries: same direction, same standards, same ambition — adapted where needed to local realities.
-   Monitor performance through KPIs, reporting, and regular alignment moments with Team Leads.
-   Stay closely involved with the business without being embedded in day-to-day operational details.

## Requirements

-   A proven senior leadership profile with experience in events/ festivals

-   Strong experience in managing team leads, preferably in an international or multi-country setup.
-   Solid understanding of budget management, cost control, and commercial decision-making.
-   Strategic mindset with the ability to translate vision into structure, processes, and measurable outcomes.
-   Strong stakeholder and partner management skills, you know how to build trust and long-term relationships.
-   Willingness to travel regularly to festivals, partners, and teams across Europe.
-   Excellent communication skills in English/Dutch, knowledge of any other European language is a strong asset.
-   A natural networker who represents the company with confidence.
-   Alignment with Mobile Locker’s values: collaboration, ownership, flexibility, customer focus, and honesty.

## Benefits

-   A full-time, permanent position with a high level of responsibility and impact.

-   A key strategic role within a fast-growing international company active in leading festivals and events.
-   The opportunity to shape and professionalize the Events organization across Europe.
-   A competitive salary package in line with your experience and responsibilities.
-   Flexible working setup with room for autonomy and trust.
-   An entrepreneurial, informal, and dynamic company culture with short decision lines.
