Motivated by the parable of the Good Samaritan, Opportunity International Australia seeks to end poverty in developing countries – one family and one community at a time. By providing small loans to families in need, Opportunity helps them grow their own businesses and generate sustainable incomes so they can lift themselves out of poverty with dignity. To break the cycle of poverty for good, Opportunity also increases families’ access to healthcare and quality education, while strengthening communities to reduce the risk of human trafficking and domestic violence – creating a new future for generations to come.
Opportunity International Australia is part of the global Opportunity Network – a leading provider and pioneer of microfinance, providing a hand up to millions of families in more than 20 countries around the world.
The National Marketing Manager is responsible for the development and execution of the Marketing strategy to support Opportunity’s revenue and supporter growth. This role will be joining at a pivotal time for Opportunity as they establish a new vision, strategy and direction for the organisation.
This is an exciting opportunity to use your expertise and experience to engage and inform Australians about Opportunity’s work and raise much-needed funds to help families around the world leave poverty behind.
In this role, you will oversee core Marketing channels covering campaigns, regular giving, events and peer-to-peer fundraising across a range of online and offline channels (including direct marketing and digital marketing). This role is suited to someone with creative flair, attention to detail and a focus on results and return on investment. The ability to constructively challenge conventional wisdom, recommend new and innovative marketing strategies, and grow a variety of revenue streams will all be considered highly.
The Marketing department plays a critical role within the organisation and works closely with all other departments. People-skills, a desire for collaboration and communication skills are a must. The role plays a leadership function, working closely with the National Communications Manager and National Development Manager, to oversee and lead the Philanthropy department.
A passion for international development to serve the world’s most disadvantaged, and an alignment with Opportunity’s mission, value and purpose, is critical.
Your confident, proactive, mature and professional approach, coupled with the ability to work in alignment with the values of the Christian ethos that motivates Opportunity, will be key to your success.
Please apply as soon as possible as applications will be reviewed on an immediate basis.
