A-Booth is a European player in the exhibition stand construction industry. With our own modular system, modern technologies, and a healthy dose of creativity, we deliver exhibition concepts and build sustainable stands that help brands stand out. Our goal? Maximum impact with minimal impact on the planet. And we do this together — with clients, partners, and of course our team of #ExhibitionHeroes.
To further strengthen our growth and quality, we are looking for an Operations Manager who will help turn our ambitions into reality. Someone who refines processes, develops teams, and builds the future of A-Booth together with us.
The role
As Operations Manager at A-Booth, you are responsible for leading and further developing the CAD, Project Management, and Exhibitor Services departments. Together, these teams form the heart of our operational organization — from technical drawings to final delivery.
You will take over from an experienced colleague who is progressing internally. The foundation is solid, and it will be your challenge to further build on it, optimize processes, and translate A-Booth’s growth into an even more efficient and scalable operation.
You are part of the Management Team and work closely with Sales, Finance, and Logistics to deliver projects smoothly, profitably, and with maximum customer satisfaction.
