Working at Egg isn't just a job. It's about making compelling and inspiring experiences for our clients and their audiences.
We work hard to create the magic. But we know how to have fun too. And it beats being just another cog in a faceless machine.
Bring your authentic self
At Egg, we care about each other as much as we care about our customers and our business. We celebrate uniqueness and are proud of the glorious human mosaic that is Egg. We're always on the lookout for fresh talent and friendly faces to enrich and expand our team.

You thrive on exploration, love to travel, and are deeply familiar with the European venue market. Details are important to you, and you are laser-focused on deadlines. A multitasker, you get a kick out of juggling multiple projects at the same time. But you're also a people-person, a versatile team player who is capable of making your colleagues LOL.
