• Maintain Adyen’s internal event calendar.
• Continually drive innovation (pre, onsite and post event) to create memorable experiences and to deliver business impact.
• Measuring and reporting on feedback to remain critical and to deliver the best events.
• Implementing and maintaining tools to improve the employee event experience.

Who you are

• You have excellent project management skills, enjoy getting things done in a fast-paced environment and know how to prioritize.

• You are a strong communicator and fluent in English (both written and verbal).
• You are comfortable dealing with a range of stakeholders, from large groups to senior figures in the company (e.g. leadership and board members).
• You love to come up with creative solutions and new ways to engage with our global and local teams to make our events an unforgettable experience. 

 Why join the team? 

• You’ll be joining a team that values creativity and innovation, constantly looking to push the boundaries of what’s possible. We don’t always have the answers, but we enjoy finding them together.
• You’ll be working on initiatives that reach and engage our diverse, global team, making an impact all around the world. 
• You’ll be shaping a new path: many things you’ll be implementing will be firsts for the organization, allowing you to implement new ways of thinking and leave a lasting mark.
