About the Position

Event Manager (D/M/W)

Pradtke GmbH, a leading provider of personnel deployment software for hospitals, fire departments, and other essential services, is seeking an experienced Event Manager to join our team in Bochum, Germany. You will be responsible for making Pradtke visible and tangible through impactful events, from customer conferences to trade show appearances.

Responsibilities

• Event Planning and Execution: You will be the primary responsible for our flagship event, the Pradtke Praxisplattform LIVE, our annual customer conference. You will conceptualize and organize it, manage its budget, and ensure it becomes an experience that delights and binds our customers to us.
• Internal Event Management: You will plan and organize internal events such as lectures, workshops, and conferences for our customers, our own team, or professional audiences from the healthcare sector.
• External Event Presence: You will manage our presence at external events: trade shows, industry conferences, and networking events. From booth planning to invitation communication and follow-up.
• Vendor Management: You will select and manage external service providers – agencies, venues, technology, catering. You will decide what we do ourselves and what we outsource, keeping an eye on quality, deadlines, and costs.
• Event Strategy Development: You will further develop our event strategy: Which events should we attend? How should we present ourselves? What are others doing – and how can we do it better? You will monitor the market and bring in fresh ideas.
• Collaboration with Business Units: You will work closely with our business units, supporting them in using events as a tool for new business acquisition, recruitment, and positioning.

In short: You will connect organization, conception, and communication – and create spaces where Pradtke becomes visible and relationships are formed.

What We Expect From You

• Experience: Several years of professional experience in event management, ideally in the B2B environment, conference organization, or trade show and event sector – including experience in selecting and managing external service providers.
• Professionalism and Quality Awareness: You know what it takes to make an event not just functional, but also impressive.
• Conceptual Strength: You can not only implement but also develop – formats, strategies, invitation processes, appearance concepts.
• Interest in Our Topics: You don't need to know the healthcare sector, but you want to understand what drives our customers – because good programs are created with reference to their topics.
• Organizational Talent and Hands-On Mentality: You keep track even in complex projects and roll up your sleeves when necessary.
• Communication Skills and Confident Presence: Whether in exchange with service providers, customers, or internally with our team.
• Independent Work, Team Spirit, and Enthusiasm: To build and further develop things from the ground up.

• Above All: A collegial togetherness that you feel every day.
