Account Manager/Fundraiser
The legacy of the women’s movements and women’s liberation is more relevant today than ever before. Nearly 90 years later, we at Atria—a team of about 25 dedicated colleagues—are working to manage, create, and make accessible knowledge about gender equality, women’s movements, and women’s liberation.
Together, we are working toward our goal of further developing Atria as a knowledge institute and taking the next step in making our research and collections more accessible. But we’re not quite there yet; we are currently seeking a Relationship Manager/Fundraiser.
If you’re interested in a challenging role in a dynamic environment and you think you’re a good fit for the job description, we’d love to hear from you. Call or email us for more information, or apply now!
Who are we?
Atria collects and manages resources on gender equality, women’s movements, and women’s empowerment, and makes them accessible to the academic community and society at large. Through research in national and international contexts , Atria promotes knowledge development and thereby contributes to the emancipation of women in all their diversity.The focus on the specific interactions between different groups in society makes our collection distinctive and unique.
Atria collects materials to enable academia and society to preserve information and generate new knowledge about the history of women, gender relations, women’s movements, and the evolution of women’s status. The archives contain the primary sources of Dutch women’s movements. The library and databases provide a broad national and international context for these sources. Together, they form a unified whole in which the constituent parts reinforce, enrich, and deepen one another.
The Aletta Jacobs Fund is Atria’s supporting foundation. Established in 2015, its purpose is to contribute to projects and initiatives in the fields of women’s history, emancipation, feminism, and gender and women’s studies, encompassing all social and ethnic diversity. Funds are derived from bequests and donations. The fund has a board that decides on the allocation of funds based on the advice and requests of Atria.
What will you be doing?
As a Relationship Manager/Fundraiser, you are responsible for building and maintaining a relevant network of funds and stakeholders. In doing so, you develop new relationships, strengthen existing ones, and create opportunities for strategic partnerships. You identify relevant social trends, developments, and new players in the field and translate these into opportunities for the organization. In this role, you will serve as a sparring partner and expert for the executive and board members, advising them on opportunities and priorities. For the AJF’s fundraising efforts, you will develop policies, oversee their implementation, and evaluate the results within the framework of Atria’s strategic organizational policy.
