When you join us, you’ll become part of a team united by a clear and important mission: to lead the investment movement by advocating and campaigning for a future worth retiring into.

We are looking for someone to join our purpose-led high-growth scaleup and drive organisational efficiency, seamless project operations, and impactful collaboration as our Project Coordinator. In this role, you'll leverage your project management expertise and administrative skills to optimise workflows, foster effective communication, and contribute to executive-level decision-making. If you're passionate about making a difference, thrive in a dynamic environment, and are eager to take ownership of impactful projects, we want you on our team!

And the best part? You’ll have the opportunity to collaborate closely with some exceptional colleagues. Can you tell me about your team dynamic? Our team thrives on collaboration and communication. You'll work closely with the Executive Suite for regular updates on action items, ensuring alignment and progress. Additionally, you'll collaborate with the Senior Leadership Team to provide project updates and contribute to strategic planning initiatives. Externally, you'll engage with Project Managers during project initiation and maintain ongoing communication to ensure milestones are met. We also value seeking external advice when needed, whether it's for navigating complex Asana configurations, aligning strategic decision-making, or addressing confidentiality concerns. Our team culture emphasises mutual support, innovation, and a shared commitment to excellence.

We strongly encourage applications from people with diverse lived experience and identities, as the problems we face are complex, and the more diverse our team is, the better our solutions become. We are a team that is all about building a strong workplace culture, that's not only diverse, but competent. We are always learning and doing better together, and holding ourselves to account on our values.

Future Group values lived experience and we encourage applications from people with Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander backgrounds, who have caring responsibilities, from culturally and racially marginalised groups, people with disability, people who experience ageism, LGBTQIA+ people, and people who experience social exclusion because of their social class.
