The Carré Fund Foundation and its donors make projects possible that allow Carré to innovate as a modern theater. Business partners also support Carré in realizing its ambitions in the areas of culture, accessibility, heritage, and sustainability. We are looking for a colleague with relevant experience to join the fundraising team (Carré Fund and partnerships) and expand the team.

You can independently develop and implement project plans and proposals. You excel at writing persuasive copy and have experience with grant applications and partner proposals. This includes research and acquisition. You communicate effectively and personally, both verbally and in writing. You also write content for websites, social media, and newsletters.
