Event & Community Manager

Remote (EU Time Zones) | Global Student Ecosystem

Introduction

Do you love bringing people together, creating unforgettable nights, and building the kind of communities students never want to leave?

We're looking for an Events & Community Manager to own the events side of Socials.Events and keep our student communities alive across the globe.

This is a dynamic, hands-on role combining event management, venue partnerships, and community building. If you're social, organized, and thrive on making things happen, this role is for you.

🌍 About Socials

Socials is one of the biggest student ecosystems helping international students prepare, adapt, and connect when moving abroad.

Operating in 150+ student cities, we connect 100,000+ students each year through online communities, events, and partnerships. Beyond connection, we help students find housing and settle the early essentials like banking and trips, so they can start their journey stress-free.

Our goal is to create a sense of belonging before students even arrive, taking care of those first responsibilities so they can focus on enjoying the experience.

We build and manage student communities at scale, helping students connect, find housing, and navigate their new city from day one. We're a remote-first company with an international team across Europe and Asia.

💼 Your Role

You'll be the driving force behind our student events, from finding the right venues to securing the deals that make each night happen.

You'll be the first point of contact between us and every venue, communicating our brand and event style, and making sure each experience matches our audience.

Alongside this, you'll support our community side, making sure our student communities across cities stay welcoming, engaged, and growing.

📅 What You’ll Be Doing

Events and Partnerships

• Research spaces that genuinely match our audience and secure venues for our student events across cities
• Be the first point of contact between us and every partner
• Communicate our brand, ideology, and event style when building those relationships
• Secure hosting deals, private or combined, based on student numbers per city
• Source great perks for students: drinks deals, themed nights, and more
• Build new partnerships, with venues and beyond

Event Operations

• Manage event pages, details, and broadcasts
• Support event management end to end, including sending scanning details to venues
• Work directly with the Marketing team on notes, promotion, and event details

Community

• Help run our city communities for new students: messages, introductions, engagement, and event updates
• Grow the community and build an ecosystem of student ambassadors
• Host virtual meetups with students
• Be the first support person students see next to our Community Manager

🧠 What Success Looks Like

• Every city has the right venues and standout events lined up
• Strong, lasting relationships with venue and brand partners
• Students get real value: great nights, great perks, great experiences
• Active, engaged, and growing city communities
• Smooth coordination between events, venues, and marketing

🔍 What We’re Looking For

• 1-3 years of experience in event management
• Perfect written and verbal English (French is a plus)
• Strong attention to detail
• Experience handling or managing a community
• Comfortable using AI to automate funnels and workflows
• Highly social, proactive, and solution-oriented
• Affinity with the student and international environment
• Experience in the student industry is a plus
• Available full-time, 9:00 to 17:00 Amsterdam (CET) time

🚀 High-impact position in a fast-growing global platform

🤝 Ownership of venue partnerships and events across cities

🎯 Variety in your day-to-day work
