• Navigate venue regulations and compliance topics confidently — including battery charging and live product demos, a daily reality for an e-drive company 2. Annual Event Calendar
• Plan and deliver dealer meetings, product launches, press events and test-ride experiences (indoor test areas and outdoor tracks) across Europe — on time, on budget
• Support association and industry activities (e.g. industry association formats, partner events) 3. Budget & Vendor Ownership

• Build and manage our European supplier base: stand builders, AV, printing, catering, hostess agencies, freight forwarders
• Supervise international logistics, including lithium battery transport compliance (UN3480/UN38.3) and customs documentation (ATA Carnet) 4. Cross-functional Orchestration & Measurement
• Align sales, product, PR and brand teams around each event; brief and steer external agencies and freelancers
• Define event KPIs (leads, meetings, brand impact), run exhibitor tools (matchmaking, lead scanning, CRM handover), and deliver post-event reviews that feed directly into commercial follow-up
• Lead on-site operations: team scheduling, logistics, hospitality, real-time problem solving

• 4+ years of B2B event / trade show management experience, including large-scale custom stands (200+ sqm) independently delivered
• Working knowledge of major German exhibition venues and processes
• Proven record managing six-figure event budgets and multiple external vendors
• Familiarity with international event logistics; knowledge of lithium battery shipping or ATA Carnet is a plus
• Languages: business-fluent English, German and Mandarin Chinese — all three are required(daily collaboration with our China HQ; negotiations with European venues and suppliers)
• Willingness to travel within Europe and occasionally to China (approx. 20–30%)
• Strong project management discipline — timelines, budgets and stakeholders with equal rigor; hands-on mentality, calm under pressure
• Background in bicycle/e-bike, mobility or consumer electronics is a strong plus; passion for cycling or micromobility even better
