Jesuit Social Services is a social change organisation working to build a just society where all people can live to their full potential.
Since 1977, Jesuit Social Services has provided services to some of the most disadvantaged in our community.
We place a high priority on advocacy and are a leader in policy development and research, and in collaboration and partnerships with other organisations to better meet the needs of the individuals and communities we seek to assist.
The Men’s Project is an initiative of Jesuit Social Services launched in 2017. It provides leadership on the reduction of violence and other harmful behaviours prevalent among boys and men, and builds approaches to improve their wellbeing and keep families and communities safe.
Our vision is for engaged men, respectful relationships and safe communities.
We aim to achieve this by:
The Men’s Project builds on Jesuit Social Services’ over 40-year engagement with boys and men in trouble.
The Men’s Project is seeking a Business Development Manager to increase our revenue from philanthropic donors, grants, tenders, and fee-for-service work.
The role has two main areas of focus, fundraising (via philanthropy & grants) and sales/business development, and applications will be considered from candidates with skills and experience in only one of these areas if they are willing to job share with a candidate with experience in the other area. In other words, the role could be filled by a single candidate with experience in both NFP fundraising and sales/business development, or by two individuals each with experience in one of those areas.
The role is part-time (3 or 4 days a week, or 1.5 to 2 days a week if job sharing).
The fundraising part of the role will suit someone who has experience in NFP fundraising from HNWs and family offices. This part of the role requires the identification of potential donors (e.g. HNWs and family offices), the development of a strategy to engage with those donors, the execution of that engagement strategy (including the successful onboarding of donors), and ongoing donor relations (e.g. providing regular donor updates).
The business development part of the role will suit someone with sales and business development experience. This role will identify grant and project opportunities and prepare proposals and costings (in collaboration with other members of the team). The role will also be responsible for developing templates to streamline the preparation of proposals and costings.
The successful candidate will work closely with the Executive Director and General Manager to develop a multi-year funding strategy for The Men’s Project which covers revenue from philanthropic, grant, and fee-for-service funders. If the role is shared between two individuals, they will work together to develop this strategy.
Competitive remuneration, plus salary packaging benefit, is offered together with ongoing professional and career development. Remuneration will be based on the skills and experience of the successful candidate.
This role will suit a candidate with the following skills and experience:
