~ Help shape the future of private sector conservation ~
Australian Wildlife Conservancy (AWC) is the largest private (non-profit) owner and manager of land for conservation in Australia, protecting endangered wildlife (alone or in partnership) across 30 sanctuaries, covering 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.
AWC’s mission - to deliver effective conservation for all native animal species and their habitats - is achieved by delivering practical land management (fire management, feral animal control and weed eradication), as well as threatened species reintroductions and strategic conservation science. Fundraising, primarily tax-deductible donations from the general public and philanthropists, enables our work.
We are seeking a data-driven communications and fundraising expert to join our Development (fundraising) team in the role of Fundraising Manager. Based in Perth, the role will suit an early to mid-career professional who is passionate about wildlife, data-driven fundraising and compelling communications. You will be joining a talented and high-performing national team of development professionals who are committed to creating better outcomes for Australia’s threatened wildlife.
Your key responsibilities will be to design and implement fundraising programs focused on AWC’s supporters who donate up to $1,000 annually. You will develop and implement campaigns to acquire and convert donor prospects into generous supporters, reactivate lapsed supporters, and inspire current regular and general donors to lift their levels of giving. Data-driven analysis and decision making will be an important component of your programs – a curious and inquiring mind is essential! You’ll be willing to roll-up your sleeves and run effective telephone appeals, deliver presentations to community groups and undertake strategic prospect research to support our talented team of Development Executives. You’ll also need strong written capabilities to write compelling copy that inspires people to give.
To succeed in this role, you will have:
This is an exciting opportunity to be part of the ongoing growth of an innovative, successful organisation which is helping shape the future of conservation in Australia. An attractive remuneration package is available for a candidate with suitable professional, commercial or fundraising experience.
