About the organisation
Established in 1896, Geelong Gallery is one of Australia’s leading and oldest regional art galleries.
Geelong Gallery was established in 1896 and is one of Australia’s leading art galleries, with a magnificent collection of Australian and European painting, sculpture, printmaking and decorative arts dating from the 18th century to today. The Gallery’s outstanding collection includes many works of national significance such as Eugène von Guérard’s View of Geelong 1856, and Frederick McCubbin’s A bush burial 1890. One particular focus of the collection is early images of the Geelong region, documenting the evolution of this important city and its environment.

About the role
Join the Geelong Gallery Team as our Philanthropy and Partnerships Manager!
Are you passionate about the arts and dedicated to fostering meaningful connections within your community? Do you have a talent for cultivating partnerships and securing vital support for cultural institutions? If so, we invite you to be a driving force in shaping Geelong Gallery’s future.
As our Philanthropy and Partnerships Manager, you will work closely with the Senior Management team on fundraising matters supporting our mission, nurturing relationships with donors, corporate partners, trusts and foundation, and other community stakeholders who share our passion for the arts. Your work will ensure the sustainability and growth of the Gallery and its collection for the Geelong community.
This is a career-defining opportunity for a philanthropy and partnerships professional. If you enjoy the excitement and challenge of designing and driving donor and partner engagement with organisations and would like to make a fundamental difference to the creative landscape of Geelong and regional Victoria, this role is for you.
Working closely with the Director & CEO and reporting directly to the Deputy Director & Chief Operating Officer, this role activates and helps lead philanthropic support, corporate sponsorships, trust partnerships, and grants, allowing the Manager to focus on higher levels of giving. The role is partially supported by the Annual Giving & Membership Coordinator.
The Philanthropy & Partnership Manager position is a strategic, multitasking role operating in a flexible team environment.
Geelong Gallery’s commercial operations generate core operational revenue streams, and the Philanthropy and Partnerships Manager has a strategic relation to the work and outcomes of cross-functional business units including Cultural programming, Learning & Audience Engagement, Finance, Marketing & Communications, Visitor Services and Membership.
A key context for this role is that Geelong Gallery is working with Federal, State, and local governments along with philanthropic sources, to realise a major, transformative expansion as part of the Geelong Cultural Precinct Masterplan. Joining our team at this important juncture provides great opportunity for an individual to play a critical role and support the Director & CEO, Deputy Director, and Board in the realisation of a 21st century regional facility of state significance.
