Job description

Do you want to use your commercial business and/or fundraising skills to help regreen and cool down our beautiful planet? Join the Justdiggit team! We are looking for two Dutch speaking Business Development, Fundraising & Partnership interns to grow our regreening movement by creating shared value partnerships with foundations, institutions and corporates.

• Employment type: Internship
• Starting date: 1 of February 2027 (earlier start date also possible)

ABOUT JUSTDIGGIT

Justdiggit (www.justdiggit.org) is a non-profit organisation based in the Netherlands, working on landscape restoration in Africa. Justdiggit restores degraded landscapes using rainwater harvesting, agroforestry, and climate resilient agriculture techniques. In Kenya, we work with a range of interventions to restore degraded rangelands using water harvesting and grazing management. In Tanzania, we inform and train farmers to bring back trees on their farms. We have a hugely ambitious goal: we want to enable 350 million subsistence farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa to regreen their own land before 2030!

ROLE & RESPONSIBILITIES

You will be part of the Justdiggit Business Development, Fundraising & Partnerships team. This team identifies strategy and funding opportunities through new and existing partnerships so that we can increase our (climate) impact and continue to grow in the coming years. We have ambitious goals and are looking for someone who wants to help grow this global regreening movement, so that we can cool down our beautiful planet!

Your role as a Business Development, Fundraising & Partnership intern is very diverse with a variety of tasks, that can be further specified in our interview. But to give you an idea:

• You support the team across a variety of tasks—conducting market and trend research, drafting proposals and propositions, identifying funding opportunities, updating our ‘impact pages’ (reports) with new data and helping engage partners. Your analytical mindset, results-oriented approach, and clear writing will make a real difference.
• You will be in contact with (international) foundations, institutions and corporates and support our team throughout the entire process - from prospecting and outreach to proposal writing and partnership management.
• You will have a lot of contact with colleagues from Justdiggit's other departments in order to provide the business development team with the latest information: updates on projects, photo and video material, presentations from other teams and so on. Other supporting activities are taking meeting notes, preparing meetings, preparing lunch with the other interns, managing the partnerships mailbox and more.

REQUIRED EXPERIENCE & SKILLS

• You feel energized in an entrepreneurial and dynamic not-for-profit organization with a focus on climate impact and growth
• You are an independent worker who feels comfortable owning tasks while being flexible as priorities shift during the day
• You are a team player and pragmatic, with genuine curiosity about business development, fundraising, and partnership-building in a not-for-profit environment
• You are confident preparing and delivering presentations
• You understand the concept of corporate sustainability and have a good understanding of how government, philantropic and corporate sectors operate internationally
• Basic knowledge of Canva and Microsoft Office (Outlook, Excel, Sharepoint). Nice to have: experience with Salesforce or similar CRM software

WHAT WE ASK

• You are currently studying (HBO or university)
• You are available 4/5 days a week for a minimum of 5 months
• You are able to work from our office in Amsterdam (close to Central station) for the majority of the week (i.e. live in Amsterdam or have a student OV card as we unfortunately cannot compensate for travel costs)
• You are fluent in Dutch and English
• You want to contribute to a better world!

WHAT WE OFFER

Besides a really diverse job (not a single day is the same!) and the ability to make an important contribution to a great mission, we also offer you:

• Room for personal and professional development
• Being introduced to a large global network, with networking opportunities with like-minded individuals and organizations
• Mentorship and guidance from experienced professionals in the field
• Work in the city center of Amsterdam, with the possibility of working from home
• An internship allowance of €400, - based on 40 hours a week
• Free lunches at the office
• Great colleagues!
