About Street Child Germany

Street Child Germanye.V. is a German charity organization that is part of the international Street Child network, committed to ensuring every child has access to education in safe and supportive environments. We focus on empowering local partners and communities in some of the world’s most vulnerable settings. Our German team is small, mission‑driven, and works collaboratively across borders, attracting support from a healthy balance of institutional, philanthropic, corporate and private sources.

The team of Street Child Deutschland e.V. is looking for a Grants Manager with a strong focus on partnerships with foundations and institutional fundraising. Street Child Germany is a member of the international Street Child network, which has been in existence for 15 years. Street Child is active in development cooperation in over 20 of the poorest and often crisis‑affected countries. The protection and education of children as well as the livelihood of families is the focus of our work.

The Role

We are looking for a highly motivated and hands‑on Grants Manager to strengthen our team at a critical time in the organization’s development. Reporting to the Country Manager, and in close coordination with our global fundraising colleagues and Street Child network partners, the Grants Manager will lead the end‑to‑end grants process, from prospect research and relationship management to proposal development, budgeting, reporting, and compliance. As we are a small team, you will also contribute to other fundraising activities as needed.

This is a key opportunity for a dynamic professional with strong fundraising experience, ready to grow with the organization and help scale our impact in Germany and ultimately in our project countries by driving sustainable income growth across diverse channels.

Key Responsibilities

• Implement Street Child Germany's fundraising strategy, in partnership with the Country Manager and Street Child's international network.
• Be responsible for the planning, implementation and further development of the German fundraising channels with a strong focus on grants from foundations, but also institutions and corporates.
• Carry out funder and market research, communicate with funders, and prepare funding applications, budget and reports.
• Manage the grants pipeline and maintain accurate records.
• Coordinate proposal development across programmes and finance, ensuring high‑quality, timely submissions.
• Ensure donor compliance, maintain a reporting calendar and donor reporting for your grants and projects, which are implemented by our local partner organizations.

Your profile

• Bachelor's, Master's or other relevant qualifications.
• At least 3 years of professional experience in a comparable position.
• Relevant experience in fundraising and working with foundations and/or other funders.
• Ideally, you have a personal network in the field of fundraising and development cooperation.
• The ability to work remotely with a team, as well as excellent written and oral communication in German and English are required.
• Credibility, personal responsibility, a high level of energy and willingness to travel complete your profile.

What We Offer

• A meaningful and autonomous role in a globally recognized organization that has grown fast in recent years.
• High ownership and plenty of scope to shape ideas and solutions within a young, ambitious organization.
• A team office in Munich is available, while also offering flexibility to work remotely. Candidates based in other locations are welcome, too.
• The chance to help shape the structure and growth of Street Child Germany.
• Full‑time employment (possibly at least 80%) with a contract limited to one year with the prospect of permanent employment, start date as soon as possible (or by agreement).
• A committed and experienced board, and access to an international network of like‑minded colleagues.
