• developing innovative support formats with colleagues in Germany and abroad (e.g. in the area of digital projects)
• following trends in the foundation market and derive relevant measures 
• always keeping an eye on the business figures to identify potentials

Your profile

• A university or polytechnical degree or a comparable qualification
