Philanthropy Research & Administration Coordinator

The Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre is Australia’s only public hospital solely dedicated to cancer and one of an elite group of hospitals worldwide to have its own integrated cancer research program and laboratories. The Peter MacCallum Cancer Foundation is the fundraising arm of Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre. Fundraising plays a crucial role in advancing cancer research at Peter Mac with funds raised accelerating the search for cancer cures.

Reporting to the Senior Philanthropy Manager, the Philanthropy Research & Administration Coordinator provides direct prospect research services to and for the senior fundraisers and leadership and works closely with the philanthropy team as a partner in helping the team achieve its fundraising goals through prospect identification, the creation of profiles, meeting briefings and analysis.

You will be responsible for gathering project information, reporting, tied gift reconciliation and acquittal administration; all of which helps to optimise the team’s philanthropic submission and reporting outcomes.
