At a unique location in one of Amsterdam's major hotel and event venues, you are faced with a new challenge. Selling and successfully planning large events for 15 to 1200 people is what truly excites you as a conference and event executive. At Mövenpick, we make moments, do you?
Selling a wide range of large and small meetings and events energizes you. You handle the request from A to Z. You create a plan, arrange the contract, and ensure that all other related matters run smoothly. You motivate yourself and make sure that the business comes in. Successful events are your goal, and you keep this in mind. This also means working closely with the organization and ensuring that reception and housekeeping staff receive the right instructions. If you do your job well, along with your colleagues, the event or conference becomes an experience for the visitors and, therefore, a great success. There are no limits to your abilities.

Mövenpick: the place to enjoy life. Inside, we create a space for our guests to enjoy by relaxing at the bar with a delicious cocktail or a creamy cappuccino. In our restaurants, you can discover the most delicious special dishes. We are originally from Switzerland, and we carry this luxurious gastronomic hospitality with us. ‘Enjoying life to the fullest.’ That is our mantra for our guests, but also for you as an employee.
And you provide that experience with a team of six to ten conference & events executives, one conference & events supervisor and one manager in our beautiful 4-star hotel located in Amsterdam overlooking the river IJ. With a beautiful atmosphere in our team, we help each other during busy moments so everything runs smoothly. You will work in a hotel that works together with the Passenger Terminal Amsterdam, a total combined conference space of over 1900 m2, including 11 modern and spacious conference and directors’ rooms. Through the emergence of ijVENUES, Amsterdam’s new exhibition centre, everything only becomes bigger and better. On a lovely, sunny day, you can choose between a 10-minute walk or a 5-minute cycle ride from the central station. Or you can hop on the tram from the other side of our hotel. In short: we have it all.
"At Mövenpick, we take good care of our people and ensure that we can deliver successful events and conferences for our customers, where they can enjoy a great atmosphere that also prevails in our team." - Director of Sales & Marketing, Mövenpick.
