GLOBAL COMMERCIAL DIRECTOR - EVENT AGENCY (french speaking)

Global commercial leadership \| New business \| Agency growth

At egg we make experiences that move you. Real ones.

The kind that take creativity, sharp thinking, attention to detail and, every now and then, a sense of humour when everything changes five minutes before launch.

We work across countries, cultures and clients, so things move fast and no two days look the same. That's part of what we enjoy. It also means we need people who can stay calm under pressure, take ownership and care about getting things right.

We laugh a lot too. Sometimes at work. Mostly at ourselves.

At egg, we care about each other as much as we care about our clients and our business. We're collaborative, curious and straightforward. We help each other out when things get busy, we challenge each other to think differently, and we don't leave problems for someone else to solve.

No big egos. No hiding mistakes. No silent chickens in this nest.
