Philanthropy Officer or Manager (gn)

The Good Food Institute Europe (GFI Europe) is looking for a Philanthropy professional to support GFI’s fundraising efforts in the DACH region. If you’re excited about working with major donors and grant-giving institutions to help protect people, animals and the planet, we’d love to hear from you!

GFI is at the forefront of the movement to advance plant-based and cultivated (grown from cells) meat in order to solve some of the world’s biggest problems, from climate change and global hunger, to antibiotic resistance and animal suffering.

We are interested in candidates appropriate for either a Philanthropy Officer or Philanthropy Manager position, and will make an offer to the successful candidate at the level we deem best suited to the skills, aptitudes and experience demonstrated during the application process.

Working closely with the GFI global development team, you will be responsible for securing essential philanthropic funds to power our work across the globe. This will involve building strong, meaningful, long-term relationships with major donors and prospects (both individuals and foundations).

To be successful in this role, you will have

• A proven track record of cultivating relationships with donors and securing gifts.
• A strong understanding of the philanthropic landscape of Germany and, ideally, the broader DACH region.
• Exceptional communication and people skills in both German and English.

• Full-time, 38 hours per week (flexible hours), permanent. Requests for part-time hours (26.5 hours/week or above) can be considered.
• Home-based/remote from anywhere in Germany or Austria.
• Salary: These ranges are based on a full-time German hire and will be adjusted if hired part-time and/or in Austria.
• For Philanthropy Officer €41,400 - €58,632
• For Philanthropy Manager €58,680 - 66,600
