SEVA is a Vienna-based nonprofit using craftivism and textile arts to build community and empowerment among women and girls. We're growing our grants function and looking for a Grants Manager to lead our small grant writing team and keep our funding pipeline organized and on track.

What you'll do

• Manage and support a team of grant writers: regular check-ins, progress updates, and unblocking where needed

• Research and flag new grant opportunities aligned with SEVA's mission
• Review and finalize grant applications drafted by the writing team before submission
• Coordinate with SEVA's leadership on funding priorities and budget alignment

What we're looking for

• Experience in grant writing, ideally with nonprofits or mission-driven organizations
• Experience managing people or coordinating a team, even informally
• Strong organizational skills and comfort with tracking tools
• Independent, reliable, and communicative: this is a remote/flexible volunteer role
• Interest in women's empowerment, craftivism, or community-based nonprofit work is a plus

Details

• Volunteer position, remote-friendly, flexible hours
• Reports to the Founder/Chairwoman
• Based in or familiar with the Vienna nonprofit/funding landscape a plus, not required

What We Offer

• Meaningful involvement in a women-led nonprofit initiative
• Flexible volunteer commitment and remote friendly collaboration
• Opportunity to shape SEVA’s funding strategy from an early stage
• Practical experience and references upon successful collaboration
• Letter of recommendation and/or certificate of completion

Please note this is an unpaid volunteer position. We are unable to offer financial compensation for this role as we are a small start-up organization.
