State / Territory Development Manager (Wa, Nt)

Australian Wildlife Conservancy (AWC) is the largest private (non-profit) owner of land for conservation in Australia, protecting threatened wildlife across a vast 12.9 million hectares in iconic regions such as the Kimberley, Cape York, the Top End and Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre. AWC is transforming conservation on the ground by deploying a practical, science-based model for conservation - one that is successfully halting the decline of Australia's threatened wildlife and restoring our unique biodiversity. With 1,800 animals and plants now threatened with extinction there is a real urgency to do more. We have ambitious plans to secure the future of Australia's biodiversity and we are now expanding our fundraising team to help us achieve our vision.

We are seeking a skilled and highly motivated individual to join our growing Development (fundraising) team. Based in Perth, this role will suit a talented mid-career professional keen to make a positive impact on the future of Australia's threatened wildlife by mobilising philanthropic support, primarily from generous individuals.

This role is also heavily focused on leading a team to be successful in the face-to-face acquisition, retention and growth of AWC Major Donors and leads a team of other professional fundraisers to ensure best-practice management of donor portfolios and exceptional fundraising performance. You'll be joining an extremely talented team who are committed to raising funds to achieve great outcomes for conservation.
