To support our growth, the Operations Team at XAnge is seeking an Event and Community Manager to strengthen our communication and event strategies.
Why we need you
XAnge is on an ambitious trajectory to solidify its leadership across Europe. With increasing activity in France and Germany, a growing portfolio of companies, and a dynamic ecosystem of partners, we need a talented Event and Community Manager to enhance our relationships and visibility among key stakeholder groups:
- Entrepreneurs

This role is pivotal in driving engagement and reinforcing XAnge’s position as a key player in the tech and innovation ecosystem.
Your responsibilities
1. Event Management
- Lead the planning and execution of 30+ events annually in France, Germany and rest of Europe, including side events at major ecosystem gatherings (e.g., Slush, Web Summit), portfolio breakfasts and dinners, networking events, and internal team gatherings.
