WHAT THE VERBIER BIKE FESTIVAL
The Verbier Bike Festival (VBF) team is comprised of 10-15 young and passionate staff based near Lausanne, Switzerland. This team is organizing the Verbier Bike Festival which was launched in August 2019 with the aim to become the largest European MTB festival. It’s a mass event, accessible to everyone - from 7 to 77 - who want to discover and ride a bike in the most attractive formats: bike tests, discovery tours, adventure races, kids race, etc. The whole industry of MTB is represented and participates in the 4 days of bike tests, animations, and sportive challenges.
The work environment is dynamic and occasionally disorganized but encourages proactivity and the sharing of new ideas regardless of position or background, all with a focus on the big picture in which everyone plays a crucial role. Micro-management and hierarchy are not part of our vocabulary, and the status quo gives us nightmares. Telework and flexible work arrangements are promoted, though physical teamwork is also emphasized as necessary for success.
Meet the Team
The operation team plays a crucial role in planning, organizing, and executing successful events. Their primary responsibility is to ensure that all aspects of the event run smoothly and efficiently, from the initial planning stages to the final execution.
If you're looking for an environment where ideas (not always the smartest) are flying around, and where you can participate in international projects with a real impact, then this opportunity is for you! If you enjoy challenging the status quo and hearing "We've always done it this way" makes you jump out of your skin, even better!
The Verbier Bike Festival Operation team is composed of passionate and hardworking individuals from different cultures and backgrounds who work together towards a common vision. Expect a hard-working team that enjoys the after-bike.
