Social Ventures Australia (SVA) is a not-for-profit organisation that works with partners to alleviate disadvantage and towards an Australia where all people and communities thrive. We influence systems to deliver better social outcomes for people by learning about what works in communities, helping organisations be more effective, sharing our perspectives and advocating for change.
SVA’s Consulting team works exclusively on for-purpose projects that strengthen the social sector and have a positive impact on people and communities. SVA pioneered social sector consulting in Australia and in the past 14 years, the team has worked with hundreds of clients to deliver high impact projects. Our clients include for-purpose service delivery organisations, Government, philanthropic organisations and corporates.
We provide innovative and effective solutions for our clients tailored to their unique needs and situations, enabling them to achieve their purpose as we apply a first principles approach.
We work in a broad and ever-expanding range of areas, with deep expertise in Children and Families, Disability, Education, Employment, First Australians, Financial Wellbeing, Family Violence, Health, Housing, Mental Health, Older Australians and Regional Development.
The SVA Consulting team is looking for a Manager to join our team. Supported by our Principals and Directors, Managers work on client projects as part of a broader project team.

This includes scoping project work based on client needs and developing and managing work plans for the team. For context, a typical project lasts between three to six months, and you will typically work on multiple projects at a time.
The Manager position provides exposure to challenging and rewarding opportunities across the social sector working on society's most important challenges. You will work within a growing and highly committed team with wide-ranging experience across the social sector. You will forge close relationships with inspiring clients, sector leaders, colleagues and stakeholders, which provides a great foundation for professional growth and development.
