About the MS Research Foundation

For 45 years, the MS Research Foundation has been the leading organization in the Netherlands dedicated entirely to funding scientific research into multiple sclerosis (MS). We believe that research makes all the difference: in better treating, understanding, and ultimately curing MS.

Based in Voorschoten, our close-knit, knowledgeable, and caring team works passionately every day to fulfill our mission. We are down-to-earth, professional, and dedicated. Our successes are tangible and visible: together, we bring about change. Our donors can feel that.

We have been successful in fundraising and want to invest in order to be even more successful in the coming years.

• You translate data from Salesforce into segments and actions.
• You will initiate and coordinate fundraising campaigns, both online and offline.

What do you bring to the table?

• You have strong communication and interpersonal skills and are analytically minded.
• You'll feel right at home in a small team where you have a lot of autonomy.
