Your mission

This is a hands-on role for someone who likes structure, keeps a cool head when a shipment is late, and enjoys seeing a plan turn into a full booth, a well-run session or a dinner that people remember. You take ownership of the details so the team can focus on the conversations.

Your tasks and responsibilities

  • Plan and coordinate OKAPI:Orbits' participation in conferences, trade fairs, occasional online events and industry events, from registration and booth booking to travel, shipping and on-site logistics
  • Keep the annual events calendar current, track deadlines, budgets and costs per event, and report what each event delivered
  • Prepare booth materials, giveaways, print and demo equipment together with Marketing, and make sure everything arrives on time and in one piece
  • Coordinate speaker slots, meeting schedules and customer dinners with the Sales team, and keep leads and follow-ups documented in HubSpot
  • Research upcoming events, collect offers from venues and suppliers, and recommend where we should and should not show up
  • Be responsible for the travel management of our team so they arrive on time and stay as close to the location of interest to maximize customer-facing time

Your profile

  • Work permit for EEA
  • Availability of >20 hours per week with flexibility to work occasionally more or at unregular times of the day around event dates
  • Practical experience in organizing events, trade fair appearances, initiatives or comparable projects
  • Very good organizational skills: you work with checklists, deadlines and budgets and do not lose track when several events overlap
  • Confident with Microsoft 365 (Outlook, Excel, Teams) and quick to learn tools like HubSpot and Confluence
  • Fluent English in speaking and writing, as most events and partners are international
  • German B2
  • Interest in the space industry or willingness to learn how satellite operations and space traffic management work
  • Experience with supplier negotiation, budget tracking or travel booking
  • Basic skills in Canva or similar tools for simple booth and social media materials
