Head of Engagement & Giving

The Company is seeking a Head of Engagement and Giving to lead the philanthropy, fundraising, and communications strategy that will grow the community of people who care about and invest in conservation. This senior leadership role is pivotal in inspiring individuals and organizations to support the protection of Tasmania's unique natural environment. The successful candidate will be responsible for developing and delivering a comprehensive engagement and giving strategy, with a strong focus on growing sustainable philanthropic income through various channels. Key responsibilities include leading a multidisciplinary team, deepening relationships with existing supporters, and creating meaningful opportunities for new people to engage with the organization's work. The role demands a strategic thinker with a proven track record in fundraising, exceptional relationship-building skills, and the ability to lead and empower a team. Applicants for the Head of Engagement and Giving position at the company should have senior-level experience in fundraising, philanthropy, communications, sales, or relationship management, with a strong emphasis on developing and delivering successful engagement strategies. The role requires a candidate with a genuine connection to the purpose of the organization and an enthusiasm for using their skills to protect nature.
