About the organisation
Who is the ACF?
When it comes to our environment, the Australian Conservation Foundation has been leading the way in protecting our living world for over half a century.
We are the national environment organisation committed to caring for Australia’s unique and beautiful wildlife and natural world. We’re inclusive, non-partisan and funded by the Australian community.
Whether it’s advocating for the Great Barrier Reef, koalas snoozing in big old trees or for strong climate action, our dedicated community of more than half a million people are constantly working to create a world where forests, rivers, people, and wildlife thrive.
About the role
What’s the gig?
Due to the imminent arrival of a baby, we are looking for a fantastic fundraising professional to join our team in September and focus on developing and executing our established Regular Giving program. You’ll be responsible for managing ongoing programs to recruit, retain, and develop donors who support the EarthVoice monthly giving program, as well as work on new and exciting opportunities to grow the portfolio further. Regular Giving is ACF’s largest net revenue source with approximately 26,000 EarthVoice donors and a budget of $6M net per annum.
About you!
You’re self-motivated and can demonstrate high levels of initiative, autonomy, and accountability. Having previous experience and success in a regular giving, individual giving or direct marketing role, you understand what it takes to recruit, inspire and retain regular giving donors. You are data-driven and make decisions based on evidence. You understand and can translate complex acquisition and retention data, with the confidence to report back to senior management.
You have experience developing and delivering successful digital acquisition programs with large budgets, and bonus points if you have direct experience working with social media platforms.
Why work with us?
You’ll do important work with one of Australia’s most impactful organisations, and with our world-class organisational culture and great team, we guarantee you’ll have fun along the way.
ACF is proud to offer our staff a supportive workplace with excellent conditions, including:
- Genuine flexibility in working hours and location – we offer a hybrid working model
- Four weeks of annual leave a year plus an additional paid time off over the end of year period
- Thirty days of personal leave a year (pro-rata) available to use immediately upon commencement
- A day of “recharge leave” per quarter to spend doing something that fills your cup
- Superannuation contribution of 12.5%
- Access to 6.5 weeks of Long Service Leave after five years of continuous service
- 24 weeks paid parental leave for parents (regardless of who is the birth parent) after 12 months of service
- Ongoing professional development opportunities tailored to your individual career goals
- Regular team retreats so we can plan, learn and grow together
- Access to our Employee Assistance Program and wellbeing support
People are at the heart of everything we do to protect our planet. To achieve the bold change we seek, we must represent the richness of diversity within our communities so that all of us who care about nature can step up and lead.
ACF is committed to providing an environment of mutual respect where equal employment opportunities are available to all applicants.
