Your mission

You help create experiences that people remember. Working closely with our Event Manager, you support the planning and execution of our events – from Impossible Founders' own formats to our presence at conferences and trade fairs. You keep the operational details under control so the team can focus on the bigger picture, and help turn it into content for our channels afterward.

Event Coordination & Operations (your main focus)

Planning & vendors

  • Research and coordinate logistics with vendors — venues, catering, equipment, tech, design, and decoration
  • Maintain vendor contact lists and keep the CRM/database current
  • Benchmark other events and scout venues

Guest & stakeholder communication

  • Manage registration lists, RSVPs, and guest communications
  • Support coordination with partners, sponsors, and institutions
  • Support calendar scheduling and internal event announcements

On-site execution

  • Prepare name badges, signage, and printed materials
  • Order and track event supplies and giveaways
  • Set up and break down event spaces (e.g. signage, seating, tech)

Wrap-up & reporting

  • Take photos and notes for internal documentation
  • Collect feedback forms and survey results, and help pull together simple success metrics (attendance, feedback, reach)
  • Reconcile invoices and keep the budget tracker up to date
  • Archive event materials and photos in the shared drive/Notion, and turn it all into reports on comms and press impact

Marketing & Communication (supporting role)

  • Help grow our brand presence across our channels and different communication opportunities
  • Support storytelling around our events and the journey of our startups, and help bring our brand to life through general marketing operation tasks
  • Scout trends and support content research
