In deze afwisselende baan schakel je regelmatig tussen verschillende aspecten van fondsenwerving. Je draagt bij aan het opstellen van een langetermijnstrategie om nieuwe donateurs aan te trekken en je onderhoudt de contacten met de huidige donateurs en fondsen. Uiteraard sta je er niet alleen voor en kun je op de ondersteuning van het communicatieteam en andere collega’s rekenen. 

Je maakt concrete plannen en stelt ambitieuze doelstellingen voor zowel de online werving van donateurs en giften als het aantrekken en betrokken houden van middle- en major donors. 
Ook schrijf je fondsaanvragen voor onze projecten, onderhoud je het contact met deze fondsen en zorg je voor nauwkeurige rapportages om deze vermogensfondsen gedurende een project op de hoogte te houden. 

Tevens oriënteer je je op andere fondsenwervingskansen zoals bijvoorbeeld nalatenschappen.

Eén van de belangrijkste onderdelen van je baan is het binden van particuliere schenkers aan onze Impact Club. Dit is een besloten club van plantaardige pioniers, bestaande uit filantropen, ondernemers en impact investeerders die bijdragen aan de missie van ProVeg met een donatie vanaf €1.000 per jaar. Als fondsenwerver zul je ongeveer de helft van je tijd stoppen in het relatiemanagement en de communicatie met zowel de leden als potentiële leden van de Impact Club. Samen met onze event manager organiseer je bovendien twee tot drie keer per jaar een evenement om de leden van de Impact club betrokken en enthousiast te houden.

• In staat bent strategieën te ontwikkelen en deze zelfstandig uit te voeren;

• De groei van het aantal donateurs als een uitdaging ziet;

• Enthousiast en ondernemend bent; je denkt in kansen en je houdt van vernieuwing;

Jouw vaardigheden:

• Je hebt uitstekende sociale vaardigheden en bent goed in het leggen en onderhouden van contacten;

• Je hebt vaker fondsenwervingsstrategieën of gelijksoortige strategieën ontwikkeld en uitgevoerd;

• Je weet jouw enthousiasme over ProVeg makkelijk over te brengen op anderen; 

• Je voelt je comfortabel in de spotlights en je kunt inspirerende presentaties geven;

• Je kunt proactief en zelfstandig te werk gaan, met een resultaatgerichte instelling;

• Je hebt goede digitale vaardigheden en een goed gevoel voor cijfers;

• Je hebt een goede beheersing van de Nederlandse en Engelse taal.

• Een contract voor de periode van 1 jaar met mogelijkheid tot verlenging.

• Een salaris, afhankelijk van je kennis en ervaring, tussen de € 3.000 en € 3.700 bij een volledig dienstverband. Bij ProVeg Nederland is dat 36 uur.

• Een pensioenbijdrage van 7,71% met een optionele pensioenregeling via BrightPensioen.

• Vijf weken vakantie, thuiswerkvergoeding, een werklaptop, telefoonvergoeding.

• Volledige vergoeding van gemaakte reiskosten als je met OV reist voor ProVeg of een vergoeding van 23 cent/km als je met eigen vervoer komt.

• Een eigen trainingsbudget (€1.000 per jaar op basis van fulltime) voor ondersteuning bij jouw persoonlijke ontwikkelambities.

• Een geweldige sfeer binnen een gedreven, ambitieus en enthousiast team van 15 collega’s (voornamelijk millennials) met een open cultuur. 

• Een afwisselende baan met groeipotentie en veel verantwoordelijkheid.

• De kans om deel te zijn van één van de belangrijkste sociale bewegingen van deze tijd.

Bij ProVeg omarmen we een vorm van gestructureerde zelforganisatie (Holacracy), waarbij je de vrijheid hebt om in diverse rollen samen te werken. Deze aanpak biedt niet alleen ruimte voor persoonlijke groei, maar ook voor creatieve samenwerkingen. Je draagt zelfstandig bij aan onze gezamenlijke missie en maakt deel uit van een inspirerend team dat samen impact maakt op het gebied van gezonder, duurzamer, diervriendelijker, en lekkerder eten.
