Events Coordinator | Danish speaking in London

This role offers you the opportunity to own the operational standard of every conference we run. You will be responsible for the end‑to‑end execution of 10 European private equity conferences a year – venues, suppliers, on‑site teams, and the experience itself.

Do you want to take part in defining the future of an industry? Do you thrive in a fast‑paced environment, where you gain a tremendous amount of responsibility? Do you want to be part of an exceptional entrepreneurial team with young, motivated and extremely driven people? And are you the kind of operator who ships – obsessive about details, calm under hard deadlines, and energised by getting a thousand moving pieces to land in the right place at the right time? If so, you might be the next member of our global operations team.
