About Impact North

Impact North is an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander-controlled organisation supporting First Nations entrepreneurs and communities across Northern Australia. Working at the intersection of community, enterprise and impact, Impact North enables place-based innovation, enterprise development and pathways to economic empowerment — alongside and informed by the communities it serves.

About the Opportunity

TalentWeb is partnering with Impact North to appoint up to three Non-Executive Directors as the organisation enters an important next phase of growth.

Impact North is in an active phase of maturation — building the governance, systems and strategic clarity that will shape its future. This is not a steady-state governance role. The Board is seeking Directors who are genuinely interested in that process of figuring out where to from here, and how to invest thoughtfully in that direction.

Experience Sought

We are seeking individuals who bring experience in one or more of the following areas:

• NT / place-based connection — the Board has a commitment to maintaining a minimum of two Directors with NT cultural connections
• Financial sustainability and funding environments relevant to community or impact-led organisations
• Governance and organisational growth, including community governance experience
• Indigenous business, community-informed engagement or social impact
• Networks across NT government, community organisations, funding bodies or corporate sectors

About You

This is an identified position. Applications are sought from individuals who identify as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander.

You will bring:

• A strong connection to and understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and contexts
• Alignment to Impact North's purpose and values
• The ability to contribute constructively at Board level, with a collaborative and thoughtful approach
• Genuine interest in contributing to an organisation that is actively evolving — not just overseeing what already exists

Time Commitment

• 4 x quarterly Board meetings (primarily online)
• 1 x annual budget and approval meeting
• 1 x Annual General Meeting
• 1 x in-person strategy session per year (2–3 days, travel costs covered)

Remuneration

This is a paid Board role. Directors receive an attendance fee of $300 per meeting attended. Reasonable out-of-pocket expenses are reimbursed.
