About Future2

Future2 is the charitable foundation of the financial services profession, providing grants to grassroots organisations that improve financial wellbeing and help Australians build stronger financial futures.

Each year, Future2 distributes approximately $150,000 in grants across Australia and works with individuals, businesses and professional associations to raise funds, build partnerships and identify causes for support.

Future2 is now seeking a General Manager to lead the organisation into its next stage of growth.

The role

Reporting to the Board through the Chair, the General Manager is responsible for the strategic leadership, day-to-day management and continued growth of Future2.

This is a broad and hands-on leadership role suited to someone who is equally comfortable developing strategy, building relationships and managing the practical requirements of a small not-for-profit organisation.

Working closely with the Board, the General Manager will oversee the organisation’s strategy, operations, finances, governance, risk, grants program, fundraising, partnerships, events, communications and small remote team.

The role will also play an important part in strengthening Future2’s profile and engagement across the financial services profession, identifying new opportunities for growth and ensuring the organisation continues to deliver meaningful community impact.

Key responsibilities

The General Manager will:

• Work with the Board to develop and implement Future2’s strategic and annual plans
• Oversee the effective day-to-day operation of the organisation
• Prepare budgets, monitor financial performance and manage financial processes in collaboration with the external accountant
• Support effective Board governance, reporting, meetings and decision-making
• Lead the annual grants program, including promotion, assessment, administration and recipient engagement
• Develop fundraising, sponsorship and partnership opportunities
• Build strong relationships with industry associations, businesses, donors, sponsors and grant recipients
• Oversee events, marketing, communications and brand activity
• Lead and support a small remote team, contractors and volunteers
• Maintain appropriate governance, risk-management and compliance frameworks

About you

You will be a capable, practical and relationship-focused leader who enjoys working across a diverse range of responsibilities.

You will ideally bring senior leadership or general management experience, preferably within a not-for-profit or purpose-led organisation, together with experience working with or reporting to a Board.

You will have strong financial, governance and organisational capability, as well as demonstrated experience in areas such as fundraising, sponsorship, partnerships, business development, grants, events or stakeholder engagement.

You will be highly organised, proactive and accountable, with the ability to work independently while maintaining strong relationships with the Board, team and external stakeholders.

Most importantly, you will be motivated by the opportunity to grow a respected national foundation and increase its impact in communities across Australia.

Employment details

This is a 0.8 FTE role (negotiable) and is remote, with attendance at meetings, industry events and stakeholder engagements as required.
