Role
Who you are
- Excited about events and bringing people together: You have strong interpersonal and communication skills and are deeply motivated by driving the “behind the scenes” to make people come together
- Ability to create stand-out experiences. You know what it takes to produce events that make people sit up, take notice, and walk away with real, actionable value
- A problem-solver, cool under pressure: You have exceptional organizational skills and tackle unforeseen circumstances with full force. You are the calmest person in the room when a technical issue happens or a schedule shifts at the last minute
- Have an eye for details: You spot the small things that others miss; whether it’s a slide format that looks off, a misplaced sign, or a bottleneck at the registration desk. You’ve solved these before anyone noticed
- Team player and a doer who rolls up your sleeves to get good sh*t done: You love the thrill of managing high-stakes logistics, working in a collaborative setting where we put impact over ego and the experience for our members and guests first
- 4+ years of experience in events, marketing, hospitality, project management or similar
- Experience working in fast-paced environments where things change quickly, like tech hubs, co-working spaces, cultural venues, or high-end hospitality. You are used to a busy event calendar with moving parts
- Proven experience working with external suppliers (like catering companies, technical crews, and decorators). You have a track record of managing event budgets and negotiating to get the best possible value
- Excellent communication skills, both written and spoken, in Dutch and English
What the job involves
- As the Events Lead, you will have a crucial role in positioning Norrsken House Amsterdam as a space where players come together to drive positive change.
- You’ll be planning and executing a diverse range of events for internal and external stakeholders. Your mission will be to curate the unexpected encounters, bold ideas, and human connections that make every moment at Norrsken House Amsterdam worth your time - and worth remembering
- You’ll work closely with the rest of the Amsterdam team, and especially Head of Strategic Programming & Ecosystem to deliver on our programmatic and events calendar.
- This role will give you a lot of trust and ownership in a fast-paced environment with a team of ambitious and caring people!
- This role reports to the Managing Director and is based out of Norrsken House Amsterdam
- Event production: You own the run-of-show from start to finish. You curate the guest-list, manage guest check-ins, coordinate the moving pieces on the ground so every event runs exactly as planned
- Coordinate with external partners: You’ll coordinate with partners for F&B, tech and IT to ensure a seamless experience. You aren't afraid to push for the highest standards and the best value for Norrsken, while still building trusted, friendly relationships with our suppliers
- Collaborate with the team: Work closely with the team in Operations, Marketing and Community to ensure smooth communication and successful event delivery. Together you plan for bold ideas and real connections. Once the ideas are set, you take full responsibility for the space; arranging the seating, lighting, and layout perfectly because you know they can make or break an event
- Feedback & post-event evaluation: Conduct surveys and evaluations to recognize successes, flag technical or logistical challenges, and make the next event even tighter
Application process
- We will review applications on an ongoing basis and will begin interviews June 12th. We encourage you to apply as soon as possible. The target start date is August 2026
Our take
Norrsken, that describes itself as an "impact ecosystem", supplies capital and knowledge for entrepreneurs, as well as access to a community network of their peers. The firm focusses on supporting startups that combine profit with positive global impact, working out of its award-winning Norrsken House hubs in Stockholm, Kigali and Barcelona.
The VC arm of the company has already raised over $750M through five funds. This has enabled it to support companies such as Einride, that makes electric autonomous trucks; Elypta, a cancer detection startup; and fusion reactor manufacturer Renaissance Fusion. Interestingly, Norrsken also embarks on its own initiatives, which are often high-risk projects with the potential to make a huge impact, that the firm says would usually be avoided by other investors.
By supporting founders and businesses with a desire to improve people's lives, Norrsken is set to play an important role in tackling issues such as healthcare access and climate change. Moving forwards, it will continue to facilitate impact and help draw further attention to the people driving change around the globe.
