Finally, Zonzo Compagnie also successfully develops mobile installations that can inspire young audiences.

Contract management and administrative support

• You manage contract templates, monitor financial agreements and keep the administration relating to copyright, insurance and non-profit legislation up to date.
• You develop a clear contract file so that obligations and deadlines remain transparent and manageable at all times.

Financial analysis and reporting

• You translate figures into insight: you analyse income, expenditure and project costs and produce reports that support management and the board in their strategic decisions.
• You develop clear dashboards and forecasts (cash flow, scenarios) that both underpin policy choices and facilitate subsidy reporting.
• You are a reliable partner during audits or external checks and ensure that the necessary documents for funds, the board and partners are correct and ready.

• You will ensure that deadlines and reports are always followed up correctly and on time.
• You will build lasting relationships with funds, grant providers and sponsors.

• You have at least a bachelor's degree (preferably in cultural management, business/finance, law).
• You have experience with reporting in the cultural sector and demonstrable knowledge of application procedures and reporting requirements.
• Your analytical skills are top notch: you know how to analyse figures and report on them, and you are adept at setting up dashboards.
• Knowledge of or experience with tax shelter constructions and additional forms of financing is a plus.
• You bring practical knowledge of contracts (artists, freelancers, suppliers) and basic knowledge of copyright and non-profit legislation.
• You are a proactive, methodical worker who works well with artistic and operational colleagues and can therefore clarify policy requirements for the entire team.
• You have an eye for detail and finishing touches.
• You are flexible, both in terms of job content and working hours.

• a full-time contract at level B in accordance with the Performing Arts Collective Labour Agreement (PC 304)
• secondary employment conditions: social subscription, meal vouchers, hospitalisation insurance, group insurance, mobile phone, subscription and laptop
• a pleasant and lively working environment in the centre of Antwerp, close to the Central Station
