- Strong communication and presentation skills combined with a "sales mentality", supporting the fundraising teams during Child Rights & Business / Child Labour related acquisition activities.
- Excellent written and verbal fluency in English and French, German is an asset.
- Proven ability to lead and thrive in a matrix management environment, take initiative and self-motivating with a pragmatic, ‘can-do’ outlook on work as well as proven ability in prioritisation and management of a large and varied workload (incl. setting and meeting of deadlines and targets).
