Manage vendor and agency relationships (production partners, caterers, venues, creative support), ensuring quality, timelines and budget discipline. Build scalable playbooks and standards that elevate consistency globally, templates, hospitality guidelines, operational tools, and repeatable frameworks. Empower regions with the tools and guardrails to execute local partner moments with excellence, while maintaining a consistent On experience.

Fluent in English (German is a plus). About the team The Global Brand Experience - Events team is where On’s stories become real. We build the moments that move people, from performance-led innovation platforms to the experiences that shape culture around running. We’re explorers by nature: we challenge convention, sweat the details, and work fast without losing the craft.
