Event Manager - Brussels Plein Publiek

Taken en verantwoordelijkheden

Join our team at Plein Publiek Brussels! 

At Plein Publiek, we want to surprise our guests – not only with the stunning location in the heart of Brussels, but with the warmth and hospitality that define who we are. The very first and very last thing every guest should experience is a big, genuine hospitality smile.

IIn this role, you will lead events, manage a dynamic team, and build strong client relationships. You’ll have the opportunity to grow with the company, bring fresh ideas to the table, and make a real impact in a forward-thinking environment. This requires focus, drive, a hands-on mindset, and a solid dose of productivity.

You will primarily work for one venue, but you’ll have the possibility to switch between locations when needed.

We are looking for an organizational talent—someone who thrives on creating order and structure where it’s not yet in place.    

A Day in the life of an event planner:

8:30 – 9:00:

You kick off the day with an extra-energetic high five with your colleagues and check your schedule. You immediately notice a few “small” changes. Oh, that meeting moved to when exactly? Fine — we’ll improvise.

9:00 – 10:00:

Team meeting! You gather everyone (hopefully without any coffee spills) and go through the status of all upcoming events. Of course, there’s always someone who forgot to confirm something — time for a friendly nudge. #teamwork

10:00 – 12:00:

Call with asuppliers. You check in with the caterer, the florist, and the AV guy to make sure everything is on track. And yes, the AV guy says the projector is “somewhere on its way”… Time for plan B (and maybe plan C). 

12:00 – 13:00:

You visit the venue to see how things are looking today. Wait — what do you mean “the decorations haven’t arrived yet”?! No panic. A few quick calls and a reassuring smile to the client will solve this.

13:00 – 14:00:

Lunch? Who has time for lunch? ?? You probably grab a sandwich while answering a few emails on the side.

14:00 – 15:00:

Client meeting: you go over the final details. The client casually asks if the DJ can also bring a carousel. You smile and nod, thinking: “We’ll figure that out later.”

15:00 – 17:00:

Final checks: catering says they’re out of falafel, and someone chilled the wrong wine. You sort out new falafel (because no one wants an angry bride) and find a student who swaps wines like a pro.

17:00 – 18:00:

Everything finally seems in place. You check your phone a few more times, but it stays quiet. Too quiet. You jot down notes on what went well — and what could perhaps be done with fewer heart palpitations next time.

18:00 – 22:00:

Event time! You watch everything unfold according to plan (okay, with a few small adjustments), and it looks fantastic. You’re both the superhero and the first responder — always ready to jump in if a catering server drops a plate or the microphone decides to quit.

22:00 – 23:00:

Everyone happy? Great! You close the venue, tidy up, and hand out some well-deserved high fives to your team. You nailed it — again!

23:30:

Feet finally up at home. One last glance at your phone to check for last-minute messages. At last… peace!

Oh wait — is that an email saying, “Small adjustment for tomorrow”? Are you asleep yet? ??

This kind of day makes an Event Manager a true multitasker. No day is ever the same — and that’s exactly what makes it so exciting and rewarding.

Profiel kandidaat

As Event Manager at Plein Publiek Brussels, you are the driving force behind the successful delivery of private and B2B events from concept to completion. You coordinate every aspect of the event lifecycle — from planning and logistics to staffing and onsite execution. With a sharp eye for detail, you manage suppliers, schedules, project plans, and timelines to ensure every moment runs flawlessly.

You lead a diverse team of students and flexi workers, guiding them with confidence and clear communication. You collaborate closely with the marketing team to bring each concept to life and actively build and maintain strong relationships within the industry. Networking comes naturally to you, and you represent Plein Publiek with professionalism and enthusiasm.

You hold a Bachelor’s degree and bring 3–5 years of solid experience in event management. Fluent in both Dutch and French, you combine a passion for entertainment with a strong problem-solving mindset. Organizational excellence, multitasking, and proactive communication are second nature to you — you don’t wait, you act. You have experience leading teams and managing suppliers, and you’re eager to grow, develop, and take ownership.

A creative vision, a strong network in the event sector, hospitality experience, familiarity with hybrid and virtual events, and knowledge of the Odoo CRM system are valuable assets. And of course: a good sense of humor is always appreciated.
