Vision Australia – incorporating Seeing Eye Dogs – is the largest national provider of blindness and low vision services in Australia. We help members of the community who are blind or have low vision,  to live the lives they choose.

As part of our ongoing strategic plan, the Philanthropy Team has developed a sophisticated and evolutionary approach to Major Gifts Fundraising, which includes methodically  expanding the team.

Reporting to the Philanthropy Manager, you will personally manage a portfolio of major gift prospects,  building a  strong  pipeline and developing the major gift program.

Vision Australia has a superb career opportunity for an energetic, positive and highly motivated self-starter – a person with demonstrated success in relationship-based fundraising with a genuine ambition and determination to reach and exceed agreed-upon targets, and who:

• Enjoys making the ASK – and setting aspirational goals for themselves & others
• Embraces change – demonstrating an openness to creative & innovative thinking

The role is unique and rare – embracing real meaning and a sense of purpose that offers challenge, reward, personal growth and ongoing professional development.  

An abundance of high-net worth prospects and an energised, committed and enthusiastic Philanthropy Team and Fundraising Division is what distinguishes this opportunity from others and what defines Vision Australia  as a true employer of choice.

If you are an experienced  Major Gifts Fundraiser, with big aspirations and the qualities mentioned above,   this could be the career opportunity for you!  Please call Rick Mayers on 03 9629 6999  for a confidential preliminary discussion, or forward your CV and cover letter to  cv@dakinmayers.com.au  Applications close 11 December 2017
