Lead Mid Value Donations

Project overview

Lead Mid Value Donations Information

Every child has the right to a future. As the largest independent children's rights organization, we work with all our might in Germany and worldwide to ensure that children grow up healthy, can learn, and are protected, even in times of crisis. In our projects, we involve them and work together with them for their future.

To make our work more just and power-sensitive, we want to create space for the perspectives of marginalized individuals. We are in the process of increasingly addressing issues of diversity, justice, inclusion, and anti-racism, as well as potential discrimination within our own structures and processes.

In our Philanthropy team within the Fundraising & Marketing department, we wish to fill the position of Lead Mid Value Donations (full-time or part-time, 35-40 hrs./week) from 01.01.2027, initially limited until 31.12.2028.

Principles of Our Work

We do everything to protect children from harm in our work. Therefore, we require a commitment to act according to Save the Children's Child Safeguarding Standards and need a valid background check upon hiring.

We are working to avoid contributing to the existing structural discrimination in society. It is important to us to promote encounters between people and to ensure they are safe for everyone. We encourage people who belong to marginalized groups or have experienced discrimination to apply with us. More information can be found here: Our Stance
