We believe that if we can warm up the planet, we can also cool it down. Together with farmers,pastoralistsand local partners, we cool down the planet by regreening dry and degraded land in Africa.

We want to let the world know that nature-based solutions are key to reversing climate change and inspire everyone to join the movement and become an ambassador of regreening.Sodig in andlet’scool down the planet!

What will you be doing atJustdiggit?

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:

For this internship it’s important that you:

• 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 do 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!

Join us in making a difference!
