We’re seeking a visionary, collaborative, outcomes-focused individual to lead this developing initiative.
Our Executive Director will set the course for JRI’s long-term success and impact, through their expertise in developing both a strategic plan and an operational roadmap to chart our future.
You’ll bring demonstrated success in stakeholder relations. Success in the role will require you to build close, trusted relationships with our patrons, government and with our developing supporter base. As the public face of the organisation, you will be an excellent communicator, comfortable and skilled across all forms of media.
As a seasoned advocate you will champion change across the community and political arena, while building JRI networks and public credibility, consistent with our values. In doing so you will respect the leadership role of Aboriginal led organisations campaigning to reduce the over representation of their people in the criminal justice system.
This position is a Sydney based, full-time 12 months contract (with strong possibility of extension), competitively remunerated, reporting to the Chair of the JRI.
JRI is a new volunteer based national advocacy campaign aiming to build a movement of community and cross party support to build a better justice system for Australia that does not rely principally upon costly and harmful imprisonment, but instead provides effective alternatives and support for the establishment of safer and stronger communities.
If this sounds interesting, rewarding and—importantly—a fit with your personal ambition and values, we would love to hear from you.
