The Political & Business Unit of Greenpeace International would like to offer a paid internship to a suitable candidate who will be able to support our team in it’s work. We are looking for someone who is available to start from January 2017 until June, 2017 (6 months).

Reporting to the Coordinator of the Unit, the work experience is primarily administrative/logistical in nature, e.g., note-taking (in English), general meeting support, updating of different project plans, information sharing, as well as a wide-range of ad hoc requests. You will have time for your own project as well, and will engage with a global team of experienced environmentalists. The work is mainly office based but also occasionally on location, so you must be willing to travel; subsistence costs will be covered when you travel.

Required skills and competencies

  • Fluent in written and spoken English. Other languages are an advantage
  • Proficient in Microsoft Office (Excel, PowerPoint, etc.), Google mail and related applications, Prezi, video conferencing etc.
  • ‘Can do’: flexible approach, friendly and people-focused, even when working under extreme pressure, and in a fast moving, sometimes chaotic environment
  • Self-confident, pro-active, attention to detail
  • Efficient in producing clear meeting notes in English
  • Identification with Greenpeace goals and values
  • Ability to act with discretion, and respectful of confidentiality, as well as multicultural/ diversity issues

The Fine Print

Internships are full-time positions (40 hours per week) for a period of three months or more. Remuneration is by a modest monthly contribution towards cost of living of €400 for those already resident in the Netherlands, and €800 for non-residents. Unfortunately, due to legal constraints, we can only accept candidates who have a student and/or work and/or residency permit for the Netherlands.

The deadline for applications is COB Tuesday, October 18, 2016. Given the very large number of applications we receive, we are unfortunately not able to respond to unsuccessful candidates.
