As the Relationship Manager, Philanthropy (State Manager NSW/ACT), you will join a national team with a focus on raising much needed funds for Opportunity International Australia, whose vision is a world in which all people have the opportunity to achieve a life free from poverty, with dignity and purpose.
By joining Opportunity, you become an integral part of a transformative mission that goes beyond fighting poverty - they aim to end it. Through innovative programs and microfinance initiatives, Opportunity creates sustainable pathways for economic growth, entrepreneurship, and financial inclusion.
Opportunity seeks to alleviate 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 gender-based violence – creating a new future for generations to come.
Due to an internal promotion, the team is growing. In this position you will lead the NSW/ACT relationship fundraising portfolio and be responsible for acquiring financial support from individuals (70%), commercial organisations (10%), trusts and foundations (20%).
You will report to and work closely with a passionate and driven Head of Fundraising. As part of a collaborative national team of five, you will manage your region's portfolio of donors with a focus on retention, upgrade and new relationships, making strategic asks that result in income generation.

**If you don’t have experience in a charity-based fundraising role, then please also provide a covering letter outlining your demonstrated success in a revenue-driven relationship sales role.
