Office & Event Manager
This is a hands-on role at the heart of Alight. You’ll own many of the things that make working here run smoothly, as well as the events, gatherings, and experiences that bring us together.
Alight was founded in 2013 and has been pioneering the Nordic solar industry ever since. We’ve repeatedly pushed the industry forward by delivering some of the region’s largest solar installations, introducing the first hybrid solar and battery storage (BESS) projects, setting new benchmarks for corporate Power Purchase Agreements, and bringing innovative financing solutions to market. By combining commercial innovation with technical excellence, we’ve played an instrumental role in shaping the Nordic renewable energy landscape.
Today, we’re the leading solar and BESS IPP in the Nordics, scaling rapidly with a clear mission to kick carbon off the grid. Our success is built on an entrepreneurial mindset, a collaborative culture and talented people who enjoy solving complex challenges and turning ambitious ideas into reality.
Your impact
We’re looking for an Office & Event Manager to join our People team- someone who is passionate about making things work, and skilled at making them work really well.
This is a hands-on role at the heart of Alight. You’ll own many of the things that make working here run smoothly: onboarding, offices, benefits, tools and vendors, as well as the events, gatherings and experiences that bring us together.
We put a lot of weight on these things. They shape how people experience Alight and are a very real part of how our culture is built.
You will be involved in a lot, but from day one you'll own:
People Operations & Employee Experience
You’ll support the employee lifecycle from pre-boarding to offboarding, making sure new joiners have what they need, coordinating benefits and training, and supporting recruitment when needed.Events
You’ll plan and run our company-wide events, off-sites, team dinners, celebrations and Friday breakfasts. You’ll own the full picture: agenda, venues, suppliers, budgets and logistics.Office Management
You’ll keep our offices across Europe, including Stockholm, Madrid, Helsinki, Paris and London, running well. This includes day-to-day operations, budgets and supplier relationships.Executive support
You’ll provide practical support to our CEO, helping manage a busy schedule and keeping things moving. This will include calendar and meeting coordination, travel, expenses and other practical support as needed.IT & Digital Workplace
You’ll make sure people have the devices, accounts, tools and access they need, from first day to last, working closely with external partners where needed.
We’re looking for you
You’ll have a lot of independence in this role. And while skills and experience matter, we know that being great at this job takes a certain type of person.
This is a role for someone who sees what needs doing and takes responsibility for it. If you spot a problem, you don’t walk past it. You make sure it gets sorted, bringing in the right people when needed and following through until it is.
You don’t wait for something to formally land on your desk before acting. You get involved where you can add value and think beyond the immediate fix. If you find yourself doing the same thing twice, you look for a way to simplify, standardise or automate it.
You’re kind and service-minded, but you know that great service doesn’t mean saying yes to everything. You set expectations, communicate clearly and are comfortable telling people what will and won’t work.
You have good judgement, care about people and want them to have a great experience at Alight, while also keeping the business in mind. You’re organised, independent and comfortable keeping a lot of moving pieces together. Importantly, you know when discretion matters without needing to be told.
And importantly, you genuinely enjoy this kind of work. Events, employee experience and operations aren’t a stepping stone to something else. You like being close to what’s happening, making things better and being someone people can rely on.
Your Experience:
You’ve done a similar role before and know that you like this kind of work.
You’re a strong coordinator and project manager. Keeping track of details, dependencies and deadlines comes naturally.
You’ve planned and delivered larger events, ideally for around 100 people or more. You know what works, what tends to go wrong and what needs to be thought about in advance.
You have experience supporting senior leaders and are comfortable managing calendars, travel and the practical details around a busy schedule.
You’re comfortable owning a budget, making sensible trade-offs and following up on spend.
You’re confident working with people across cultures and countries, from new joiners and senior leaders to suppliers and external partners.
You are fluent in both Swedish and English, written and spoken.
Willingness to work primarily onsite at our office in central Stockholm. While many Alight employees work hybrid or fully remotely, the nature of this role requires a regular onsite presence.
Experience with IT coordination or device management is a plus.

Be part of Alight's success
At Alight, you’ll be a part of an entrepreneurial culture in which you’re encouraged to “think like an owner,” which means that we trust you to call the shots and excel in your role. Many Alighters are also shareholders, and we believe in giving our employees incentives to create the best possible impact.
Historically we’ve regularly had warrant/option programs that give our employees the option to own a part of Alight. We also give our employees the option to buy shares when the opportunity arises (e.g. when any of our owners sells shares, we're not a listed company).
-
Recharge when you need it
As an Alighter, you’ll have 30 days of paid vacation and the option to exchange public holiday days for other days off. We also offer market-leading insurance programs for all our employees, together with an annual wellness allowance of €500 (5000 SEK).
At our HQ in Stockholm, we also have weekly activities like lunch runs and Thursday yoga sessions.

Have fun together with a fantastic team
While we take our role in driving the green transition seriously, we know how to have fun. We believe that a positive team spirit enhances our collective impact. Some examples of planned activities are Friday breakfast every second week, Guest lecturers with dinner, team dinners, and sports activities. But there are also a lot of spontaneous activities driven by our employees!
Each quarter we also have "Alight Next," our company-wide meetup, a two-day strategy day with workshops, lectures, and team building in which we focus on the next quarter. We also always have some fun activities planned during those meetup days, examples being ski trips, sailing, dinners, and parties

Grow professionally and personally
We’re committed to helping you grow and embrace new areas of responsibility, whether vertically or horizontally.
It’s common for our team members to be promoted to leadership roles or transition into entirely new domains. We have structured career coaching, internal training programs, performance reviews, and goal-setting frameworks to help you develop your career.
