About the organisation

Organisation Name : Australian Wildlife Conservancy
Australian Wildlife Conservancy (AWC) is the largest private (non-profit) owner of land for conservation in Australia, protecting endangered wildlife across almost 4 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 in order to save the country’s natural capital. Our core business is protecting threatened species, such as the Bilby, the Gouldian Finch and the Numbat.

About the role

As the organisation enters an exciting new phase, we are seeking an exceptional and highly motivated professional to join our Development (fundraising) team on a full-time or part-time basis. Based in Sydney, the role will suit a talented mid-career professional who wishes to help build AWC’s base of philanthropic support by expanding our bequest program.

Your primary responsibility will be to manage, co-ordinate and deliver our bequest program. Working with our Development team, you will be responsible for identifying, stewarding and seeking bequest support from a broad range of individuals, as well as further developing our bequest strategy. You will roll up your sleeves, doing everything from setting up internal processes, to regular one-on-one engagement with supporters.

To be successful for this role you will have:

• Experience in design and delivery of bequest programs, or experience in a fundraising/commercial role with a strong relationship-building component.
• Outstanding communication skills including listening and writing skills; the ability to effectively convey key messages and elicit support.
• Excellent interpersonal skills including the ability to develop and maintain relationships with a broad range of people.
• Demonstrated ability to deal sensitively with people and personal information.
• Adept ability to use a database or Customer Relationship Management system.
• Superior organisational skills.
• A passion for saving Australia’s wildlife and a strong work ethic.
• A willingness to travel to capital cities and to AWC sanctuaries.

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a successful organisation which is helping to shape the future of conservation in Australia.
