About the team

You will join our Events team and work closely with internal stakeholders and external partners to support STARK’s growing global brand presence. The team is responsible for managing events, demos, merchandise, and branded materials across multiple international activities. In this role, you will help ensure that our brand materials, inventory, and merchandise operations are organised, scalable, and aligned with the company’s visual identity. You will report directly to the Head of Events and gain hands-on experience in a fast-paced and highly collaborative environment.

Your mission

You will take end-to-end ownership of our merchandise and marketing materials—from finalizing design files to managing inventory and print production. By bridging the gap between graphic design and procurement, you ensure our brochures, flyers, and merchandise are consistently high-quality, perfectly branded, and ready for our events. You will work independently to prep files, coordinate suppliers, and ensure our teams always have the materials they need without creating bottlenecks.

Responsibilities

• Supplier Management: Collaborate directly with external print shops and suppliers regarding specifications, proofs, orders, and deliveries.
