~ Help shape the future of private sector conservation ~
Australian Wildlife Conservancy (AWC) is the largest private (non-profit) owner of land for conservation in Australia, protecting endangered wildlife at 30 sanctuaries in which we own or manage in partnership, covering a total of more than 6.5 million hectares in iconic regions such as the Kimberley, Cape York, the Top End and Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre. With a focus on practical land management, informed by world-class science, AWC is implementing a dynamic new model for conservation. Our core business is protecting threatened species, such as the Bilby, the Gouldian Finch and the Numbat.
As the organisation enters an exciting new phase, we are seeking an engaging, highly motivated professional to join our Development (fundraising) team on a full-time or part-time basis. Based in Sydney, the role will suit a talented ‘can do’ professional who is keen to help build AWC’s base of philanthropic support by expanding our bequest program.
This is an exciting, newly created position where you’ll be delivering and growing AWC’s bequest program across the continent. Reporting to the Senior Development Executive and working closely with AWC’s Development team, you’ll recruit and steward a significant portfolio of bequest supporters. This is a hands-on role where you’ll be managing internal processes as well as regular one-on-one engagement with supporters. If you have exceptional integrity, high level strategic skills and a bright and engaging personality, together with a passion for conserving Australia’s wildlife then we’d love to hear from you.
If you feel comfortable engaging with people from all walks of life and feel motivated to help to shape the future of conservation in Australia, and you have the skills we’re looking for, then please apply.
