Description

DO YOU WANT TO CONTRIBUTE TO A HEALTHIER SOCIETY FOR BOTH HUMANS AND ANIMALS AS A CONTRACT COORDINATOR? ARE YOU THE COLLEAGUE WHO BRINGS STRUCTURE TO A DYNAMIC ENVIRONMENT—ENSURING THAT PEOPLE ARE SUPPORTED AND RESEARCH PROJECTS RUN SMOOTHLY? CAN YOU CONNECT OUR RESEARCHERS WITH CLIENTS AND STAKEHOLDERS?

At Wageningen Bioveterinary Research (WBVR), you’ll be part of an organization dedicated to promoting public and animal health. We conduct research into infectious diseases that affect both animals and humans, supporting governments and businesses in understanding risks and preventing their spread. Achieving this requires strong collaboration with external partners—and that’s exactly where you come in.

YOUR TEAM

You’ll be working closely with two direct colleagues who are looking forward to welcoming you to the team. There are regular team meetings, and if you’re less experienced, there’s plenty of room to learn, ask questions, and grow together. Wageningen University & Research offers excellent terms of employment. A few highlights from our Collective Labour Agreement include:

  • working hours that can be discussed and arranged so that they allow for the best possible work-life balance;
  • sabbatical leave, study leave, and partially paid parental leave;
  • a fixed year-end bonus of 8,3%;
  • excellent pension scheme.

In addition to these first-rate employee benefits, you will of course receive a good salary. We offer, depending on your experience, a competitive gross salary of between €3.070,- and €4.734,- for a full-time working week of 36 hours, in accordance with the CLA Wageningen Research (scale 8 - 9). Additionally, a contract for 32 hours can be discussed. As for your contract, we initially offer a one-year contract that can be extended - if possible within (company) organizational circumstances - on good performance. Of course, we are happy to have a conversation with you if you have any questions about this.
Wageningen University & Research offers plenty of opportunities for growth and development, with a strong internal recruitment policy and excellent training programmes.

Responsibilities

As a Contract Coordinator, you will support our project leaders, contract office, and business developers in all matters related to client relationships, commercial opportunities, and translating plans into concrete actions. You are the bridge between science and practice – someone who understands how processes work without losing sight of the content.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Supporting project leaders in client communication;
  • Actively managing and tracking leads to gain insight into opportunities and client needs;
  • Serving as the link between legal affairs and researchers to ensure contracts are aligned smoothly and substantively;
  • Acting as a sparring partner for project leaders when preparing agreements with clients, thanks to your affinity with relevant laws and regulations;
  • Offering targeted support and thinking proactively – without being the legal advisor or contract owner yourself;
  • Conducting practical research into market developments related to research topics and sharing these insights with your team.
