About the Role

Startup Insider Live is the first daily digital festival for the German startup scene, aiming for up to ten professional, live-produced sessions daily. You will ensure SI Live broadcasts flawlessly each day, coordinating between technology, sales, content, and community without direct authority, but with the overview and authority to keep things together. You think in scalable systems and processes, not individual tasks.

Responsibilities

  • Build and optimize all processes to function seamlessly with 10 daily sessions.
  • Coordinate internal teams including graphic designers, moderators, and the tech team, ensuring all threads are held together without personally handling every task.
  • Identify potential process breakdowns before they occur.
  • Develop backup solutions for contingencies, such as speaker cancellations.
  • Lead the bi-weekly Greenroom meeting with the entire SI Live team.
  • Facilitate concise discussions, drive decisions, and prevent off-topic brainstorming.
  • Maintain clear task tracking to ensure nothing falls through the cracks.
  • Ensure Sales, Content, and Tech teams are consistently informed proactively.
  • Identify and close information silos.
  • Actively build and maintain a pool of reliable speakers.
  • Manage complete speaker assets: photos, titles, descriptions, presentations.
  • Brief speakers to ensure they inform rather than pitch.
  • Find and coordinate new moderators for the growing program.
  • Ensure each session is fully prepared online at least two weeks in advance.
  • Maintain Airtable as the Single Source of Truth and trigger subsequent steps.
  • Understand the interplay of Tally, Airtable, WordPress, Luma, and RingCentral.
  • Provide prompt and binding responses to customer and speaker communications.
  • Actively solicit feedback after each session.
  • Proactively identify and resolve issues.
  • Prepare a structured weekly report covering participants, speakers, customers, and internal metrics.
  • Maintain a dashboard showing daily progress.
  • Start every meeting with factual data.
  • Ensure videos are edited and archived the day after the session.
  • Take responsibility for the weekly SI Live newsletter, ensuring timely delivery every Thursday without reminders.

Requirements

  • 2-4 years of experience in an operational role (Startup, Media, Events, and/or Digital).
  • Strong project management skills, with the ability to coordinate multiple people and dependencies without causing chaos.
  • Experience in meeting facilitation, including efficient moderation, driving decisions, and time management.
  • Understanding of how tools and automations work (n8n, Airtable, Tally, CMS), including comprehension of their functionality and purpose without necessarily coding.
  • End-to-end thinking, focusing on the quality of the outcome rather than just task completion.
  • A good sense for compelling topics and content that attract the audience.
  • Data affinity, including reading dashboards, identifying patterns, and deriving decisions from them.
  • Proficiency in German (written and spoken) is mandatory.
  • English proficiency is a plus.
