Analyst, Social Impact

About the role A fantastic opportunity has become available for an Analyst to join a 12 year old discrete Charitable Trust based in Melbourne. You will join a team of fourteen professionals who seek to achieve the Trust’s mission of creating sustainable change with a focus on climate change, First Nation Australians and disability. The newly created Analyst role will play an important role in the Disability portfolio. The portfolio priorities are engagements that create systemic change in the Disability sector to enable greater self-determination as well as equity in opportunity and participation for people with disabilities throughout Australia. Examples of the work you will get involved in will be analysis and research of possible partnerships, due diligence, writing proposals and preparing investment notes for grant making. As well as partner relationship management, the team will also value your contribution to measurement and evaluation to help steer the direction of the Disability emerging strategy. The Trust puts a strong emphasis on cultural fit. The team are motivated by a desire to make a positive impact in the world using their professional skills. The Trust is based in modern offices in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, close to tram and train, in a fully cloud office environment.
