~ Help shape the future of private sector conservation ~

Australian Wildlife Conservancy (AWC) is the largest private (non-profit) owner of land for conservation in Australia, protecting endangered wildlife across more than 6.5 million hectares in iconic regions such as the Kimberley, Cape York, the Top End and Lake Eyre. With a focus on practical land management and 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.

As the organisation enters an exciting new phase, we are seeking a talented and motivated professional to play a key role in our Development (fundraising) team. Based in Perth, the role will suit a talented early career professional who wishes to be part of a high performing team dedicated to delivering important outcomes for Australia.

AWC is funded primarily by tax-deductible donations from major donors and the general public. This role is focused on direct appeals aimed at generating increased revenue from general supporters, regular (monthly) supporters, workplace giving and visitors to AWC sanctuaries. Your key responsibilities will be coordinating appeals to these (and other) groups with a focus on targeted analysis and segmentation.

To be successful, you will require:

• A passionate and genuine interest in the conservation of Australia’s wildlife and their habitats.
• Outstanding written and oral communication skills, with an emphasis on persuasive communication.
• The ability to clearly convey an organisational mission and inspire support for that mission amongst a wide variety of stakeholders. (Experience in successfully selling a product or concept will be very highly regarded).
• Exceptional attention to detail and organisational skills, including the ability to manage multiple simultaneous appeals to a variety of audiences.
• Demonstrated experience segmenting and analysing data to maximise business objectives.
• A strong work ethic including a willingness to travel, as well as extended hours and weekends as required.

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of the ongoing growth of an innovative, successful organisation which is helping shape the future of conservation in Australia. An attractive remuneration package is available for a candidate with suitable professional, commercial or fundraising experience.
