Call for applications post Co-ordinator Tenso


Tenso Network Europe is seeking to appoint a (part-time) Co-ordinator.

Tenso is the European network for professional chamber choirs. In Tenso Network Europe, the efforts and achievements of the leading professional European chamber choirs are combined and disseminated within the context of a growing European network. Currently the network counts 21 members from 17 European countries. www.tensonetwork.eu

After 10 years of semi-continuous funding from EU sources, producing several large-scale projects, the network now enters a new phase. We are seeking to appoint a self-motivated person who can work on their own initiative to develop new ideas, investigate and implement funding options, and communicate clearly and successfully about these and all other Tenso business to partners and other organisations in consultation with the Tenso Board and Executive committee.

The Association is registered in the Netherlands. However, the Co-ordinator can be based in any EU country. The total of staff costs - on the current budget - is around € 10.000 gross. This should cover the work for co-ordinating the activities of the network, and the communication, possibly but not necessarily combined in one person. The position may be expanded where funding allows.

  • will develop ideas for funding proposals and implement these in future projects;

  • manages a digital hub to promote the activities of Tenso and its members;

  • relevant and extensive expertise in arts management;

  • an extensive working knowledge of (contemporary, classical) music;

  • an academic background or equivalent work experience;

  • proven networking and co-ordinating skills;

  • experience with (international) fundraising;

  • fluency in English (spoken and written);
