Want to be part of a creative, motivated group of people and play an active role in shaping Berlin’s dynamic international literary scene?

For this high-responsibility, varied position, you will need organisational talent, great interpersonal skills and a strong eye for detail.

If you are excited about this position but are not sure if you have all of the necessary qualifications or experience, please apply anyway!
Tasks will include:
Currently, the full SAND team works on a volunteer basis, though we are pursuing further funding options to enable us to pay ourselves an honorary fee. When we are able to pay ourselves, as we have during a previous grant, we split our funds equally between all team members.
We’re a friendly, supportive team of 12 with a range of backgrounds and day jobs, and we welcome applications from all ages and identities. We work flexibly and try our best to accommodate team members’ individual needs and situations. We meet monthly as a full group (currently via Zoom, usually in-person) and have a non-hierarchical team structure.
To apply, please send an email with the subject line: Editorial Coordinator and your CV and cover letter as attachments in PDF format to Ruby, our Managing Editor, via jobapplications@sandjournal.com by 15 August 2021.
Are you interested in arts administration or management? Would you like an opportunity to help bring a successful 11-year-old literary project to the next level? SAND is searching for someone to join our collaborative team as a Distribution & Fundraising Coordinator, part of a two-person team, coordinating current and future distribution and funding opportunities to get our journal out into the world and help keep us financially sustainable.
Over the past 11 years and 22 issues, SAND has grown from a small publishing project within Berlin’s English-language literary community into a nonprofit with contributors and readers in many countries around the world. We now have professional distributors in two countries, with more opportunities on the horizon, and are looking for ways to make our volunteer-run organisation into more than a hobby.
This transition will require lots of creativity, strategy, and paperwork. We are looking for a new Distribution & Fundraising Coordinator who is passionate about the practical side of organising arts projects, enjoys a well-structured spreadsheet, and can think ahead and scout out new possibilities – but also pursue some of the many leads we already have. This involves working with current and future distributors, finding possible sponsorships and fundraising opportunities, and grant application writing in collaboration with the rest of the SAND team. Ultimately, you will shape what the role looks like based on your own skills and interests. This would be an excellent stepping stone to a managerial position in various aspects of arts management and administration. The weekly time commitment is approximately 4 hours depending on your workflow.

For this role, you should be exceptionally organised, committed, reliable, and preferably have a flexible schedule. Our events team oversees ongoing SAND events and is constantly on the lookout for new event opportunities both on- and offline. Over the years, past events have included virtual webinars, parties, readings, competitions, discussions, immersive theatre, and other interdisciplinary collaborations.
