Do you have a drive for systemic sustainability, and would like to explore more on the topic while working together?  Are you a hands-on team player with flowing and effective communication skills, in English and preferably Dutch? Then we would love you to join our team in our beautiful office in Utrecht!

You are confident working independently, you don’t shy away from any sudden curve-balls, and you’re a pro at navigating various networks. For this position, we’d especially like someone who enjoys exploring new effective ways for being vocal in various media, as well as keeping up with sharing and tracking the happenings in our community. You bring a positive, can-do attitude, and always look for practical solutions.
