About the organisation

About the role

Australian Wildlife Conservancy (AWC) is the largest private (non-profit) owner of land for conservation in Australia, protecting endangered wildlife across more than 3 million hectares in iconic regions such as the Kimberley, Cape York, the Top End and Lake Eyre.  With a focus on practical land management, informed by world-class science, AWC is implementing a dynamic new model for conservation.  Our core business is protecting threatened species, such as the Bilby, the Gouldian Finch and the Numbat, and their habitats.

Funded primarily by tax deductible donations from major donors and the general public, AWC has developed a unique business model characterised by exceptional ecological returns and a very efficient use of available resources.

As the organisation enters an exciting new phase, we are seeking a talented and motivated professional to support the Chief Executive.  This is a new position with an important role in helping further develop AWC’s innovative business model.  It would suit a talented early-mid career professional who wishes to be part of a high performing team dedicated to delivering important outcomes for Australia – the protection and restoration of our natural capital.

Your key responsibilities will include co-ordinating a program of supporter events across AWC sanctuaries and in major cities; supporting the Chief Executive’s engagement with donors and stakeholders; assisting the Chief Executive in tracking performance metrics for the development program; and providing support/advice on selected projects.

You will require:

  • Exceptional organisational skills.
  • Exceptional communication skills including evidence of strong writing skills.
  • The ability to co-ordinate and manage complex events.
  • Strong analytical skills and exceptional attention to detail.
  • Outstanding interpersonal skills, including experience engaging with high net worth individuals and senior corporate and government officials.
  • Flexibility including a willingness to travel to capital cities and to AWC sanctuaries.

Based in Perth, this is a rare opportunity to be actively involved in protecting Australia’s endangered wildlife by helping shape the development of an organisation delivering measurable results where it really counts – in the field.  An attractive six figure remuneration package is available for a candidate with suitable professional, commercial or fundraising experience.
Please find a detailed role description attached.
