Gobao is an international supplier of e‑bike drive systems, serving OEM and brand customers worldwide. Our European team is newly established and growing fast — 2027 will be our biggest year yet, with a major flagship trade fair program plus a full‑year calendar of dealer events, product launches, press events and test‑ride experiences across Europe.

We are hiring an Event Manager to own this portfolio end‑to‑end — from strategy and budgeting to flawless on‑site delivery and post‑event ROI analysis. You will work directly with the Strategy & Marketing Director Europe.

Key Responsibilities

1. Trade Show Program (core)

Plan and deliver our international trade fair presences end‑to‑end — organizer relationships, stand design and construction partners, show services, on‑site activations, and lead capture processes
Manage sponsorship deliverables and media assets (digital signage, stage slots, hospitality) and ensure every contracted right is executed
Navigate venue regulations and compliance topics confidently — including battery charging and live product demos, a daily reality for an e‑drive company

2. Annual Event Calendar

Plan and deliver dealer meetings, product launches, press events and test‑ride experiences (indoor test areas and outdoor tracks) across Europe — on time, on budget
Support association and industry activities (e.g. industry association formats, partner events)
Own an annual events budget in the high six figures (EUR): quotations, POs, contracting, invoice verification, cost tracking
Build and manage our European supplier base: stand builders, AV, printing, catering, hostess agencies, freight forwarders
Supervise international logistics, including lithium battery transport compliance (UN3480/UN38.3) and customs documentation (ATA Carnet)

4. Cross-functional Orchestration & Measurement

Align sales, product, PR and brand teams around each event; brief and steer external agencies and freelancers
Define event KPIs (leads, meetings, brand impact), run exhibitor tools (matchmaking, lead scanning, CRM handover), and deliver post‑event reviews that feed directly into commercial follow‑up
Lead on‑site operations: team scheduling, logistics, hospitality, real‑time problem solving

What You Bring

4+ years of B2B event / trade show management experience , including large‑scale custom stands (200+ sqm) independently delivered
Working knowledge of major German exhibition venues and processes
Proven record managing six‑figure event budgets and multiple external vendors
Familiarity with international event logistics; knowledge of lithium battery shipping or ATA Carnet is a plus
Languages: business‑fluent English, German and Mandarin Chinese — all three are required (daily collaboration with our China HQ; negotiations with European venues and suppliers)
Willingness to travel within Europe and occasionally to China (approx. 20–30%)
Strong project management discipline — timelines, budgets and stakeholders with equal rigor; hands‑on mentality, calm under pressure
Background in bicycle/e‑bike, mobility or consumer electronics is a strong plus; passion for cycling or micromobility even better

What We Offer

A high‑ownership role at the center of Gobao's European growth story, reporting directly to the Strategy & Marketing Director
Flagship projects with real visibility at leading international industry platforms
International environment (German / English / Chinese), hybrid working, modern Frankfurt office
Competitive salary package — tell us your expectations

Gobao is an equal opportunity employer. We welcome applications from all qualified candidates regardless of gender, origin, age, religion or disability.
