about the role

The Partnerships and Pipeline Lead plays a critical role in strengthening NRM South’s financial sustainability and organisational resilience by ensuring partnership, funding, and diversification opportunities are actively progressed, coordinated, and converted into tangible outcomes.

The role enables the organisation to move from opportunity to outcome. It ensures that grants, partnerships, investment opportunities, and funding proposals are strategically coordinated, high-quality, and delivered on time, with clear follow-through and accountability across the organisation.

Working across all teams, the position maintains visibility of NRM South’s partnership and funding pipeline, ensuring opportunities are identified, tracked, prioritised, and progressed. The role directly supports revenue growth, partnership development, diversification, and long-term organisational resilience.

Working closely with the CEO and Leadership Team, this role is responsible for maintaining visibility, momentum, and discipline across NRM South’s partnership and funding pipeline. It ensures opportunities are identified, prioritised, progressed, and converted into organisational outcomes through structured systems, quality proposal development, and disciplined follow-through.

The role supports partnership and stakeholder engagement activities but does not hold primary accountability for strategic relationship ownership, which remains with the Leadership Team and other designated organisational representatives. The position requires a highly organised and proactive individual who can work across teams, manage competing priorities, and maintain momentum across multiple opportunities simultaneously. This role is a 0.8 FTE.
