Do you have a proven track record in preparing compelling grant applications and impact reports for government and philanthropic organisations?

We are seeking a talented individual to join us to demonstrate Generation Australia’s impact to our funders. In this role you will prepare persuasive grant applications for government and philanthropic funders, and funder reports that capture our impact in an accurate and engaging way.

You will also help identify and assess new funding opportunities. You will report to the Funding & Grants Manager to ensure GA is able to put our best foot forward for the most relevant grant opportunities, and maintain excellent funder relationships by delivering high quality reports on time.

You will work closely with many different team members to source data and program updates for grant applications and reports. From time to time you will also support the Communications and Marketing Manager on learner storytelling, and website, press and social media materials.

The initial contract is for 3 months but with the potential to extend beyond this initial period.

ABOUT YOU

You are energised at the thought of making an impact through your work and are able to work autonomously while also being able to work effectively with others to source the information you need. You have experience preparing Government and Philanthropic grant reports and applying for Government and Philanthropic funding. You have excellent written and verbal communication skills and the ability to communicate our impact to funders in a compelling and effective manner. You have outstanding interpersonal skills and understand how to craft a message for your audience. You are results driven, detail oriented and comfortable working independently to a given brief. You have strong management and organisation skills, with the demonstrated ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines simultaneously. Most importantly, you believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to have a meaningful, sustainable career.

What you'll do:

• Prepare and deliver funder reports and grant applications on time, including collecting all necessary evidence and relevant information from our systems and your colleagues
• Support with learner interviews and write up stories, and with drafting and reviewing website, press and social media copy
• Help identify relevant government and philanthropic grant opportunities that will support Generation to meet our strategic and funding goals
• Work with a great team on scaling our impact
