• A willingness to travel throughout Europe in pursuit of philanthropic opportunities, when the COVID-19 situation allows.

• A very strong work ethic and self-motivation; a sense of ownership and responsibility to drive outcomes and get things done.

• The ability to work in an organised and structured manner.
