🚀 Launch Legendary Events at DanSTAR

Are you a natural-born organizer with a love for planning memorable experiences? Do you enjoy working behind the scenes to bring ideas to life and create community spirit? At DanSTAR, we’re looking for an Event Manager ensuring every milestone, from testing to liftoff, feels unforgettable.

Whether it's launching rockets or launching dance parties, you’ll be the spark behind the scenes that turns logistics into magic.

🌌 About DanSTAR

DanSTAR is Denmark’s premier student-run rocketry organization, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in student aerospace. From designing and building bi-liquid rockets to launching at the European Rocketry Challenge (EuRoC), we’re aiming high—literally.

With two successful launches, a 6.5 km world record apogee, and our latest rocket Fornax preparing for liftoff, we’re on a mission to revolutionize student aerospace in Denmark.

Our members come from DTU, CBS, ITU, and other institutions, united by a love of space and a drive to do what’s never been done before.

🎯 Your Mission: Event Manager

As Event Manager, you’ll join our young Operations Department and take the lead on planning, organizing, and executing DanSTAR’s internal and external events. Your work will be essential in supporting our engineering teams, growing our culture, and giving our members unforgettable experiences.

Here are just a few of the events you’ll be responsible for:

• 🧒 Summer Schools: Inspiring the next generation through hands-on activities like water rockets and intro-to-space workshops.

• 🔬 Serious Tests: Organizing everything from logistics to post-test celebrations when we push our systems to the limit.

• 🚀 Launch Days: Coordinating transportation, media, guests, and safety during the most exciting moments of the year.

• 🎉 Socials & Celebrations: From holiday parties to pizza Fridays — you’ll be the heartbeat of our student community.

• 🤝 Recruitment & Info Events: Showcasing DanSTAR to potential new members and collaborators.

And if you’ve got more ideas? Even better. The floor is yours.
