Project Manager, Concertgebouw Fund (M/F/X)
The Concertgebouw Fund Foundation
The Concertgebouw Fund Foundation is a cultural public-benefit organization (ANBI) dedicated to fundraising, with the aim, among other things, of funding all maintenance and renovation work at the Concertgebouw. In addition, funds are raised for educational programs, enabling more than 20,000 children each year—often for the first time—to experience an educational interactive performance or a family concert at the Concertgebouw. The Fund also finances concerts that would not be possible without additional funding. Examples include concerts that attract as broad and diverse an audience as possible.
As a Project Manager at the Fund, you’ll work in one of the most beautiful locations in Amsterdam, right in the heart of the Concertgebouw, home to one of the world’s most stunning concert halls. Every day brings something new.
Who are you?
- You are an experienced project manager: you enjoy managing multiple projects at once and working with a diverse group of professionals;
- You love the performing arts and (classical) music, and you’re a good writer;
- You are goal-oriented, customer-friendly, and service-oriented, flexible regarding working hours, and live in the Amsterdam area;
- You are a strong planner and can work well on your own;
- You have a degree at the associate’s level or higher, demonstrable knowledge of the classical music field—gained, for example, through a degree in musicology or conservatory studies—or extensive experience working at a theater or music company;
- You have experience working in a fundraising or commercial environment and enjoy it;
- We are looking for someone who can work four days a week (in the office).
No two people are alike. The Concertgebouw Fund strives to create a place where everyone feels welcome and safe—a place where employees can be themselves and are given the freedom and recognition they need to contribute to our mission in their own way.
What will you be doing?
