The Organisation
 
Caritas Australia supports long-term development programs in impoverished communities in Africa, Asia, Indigenous Australia and the Pacific, helping oppressed people to rediscover their dignity by taking greater control over their lives and overcoming poverty. Caritas Australia is part of a global network of over 200 countries and territories helping people help themselves regardless of ethnicity, religion or political beliefs.

Caritas Australia has recently undergone significant positive organisational change including a new board of skill-based directors, the appointment of a new CEO with a track record of sector innovation, and the adoption of a new fundraising strategy calling for significant investment in growth.

• Develop and manage internal and external stakeholder relationships including coaching
• Integrate digital across all fundraising activities to engage the existing large and loyal donor base
• Develop and manage investment budgets based on trend analysis and donor segmentation
