About the role:

At the Climate Council, we fearlessly advocate for the climate solutions Australia needs. We’re independent, expert-led and community-powered—and we’re looking for a passionate, people-focused Fundraising Coordinator to help supercharge our impact.
Reporting to the Digital Fundraising Director, you’ll play a key role in our fundraising team, managing some of our biggest growth opportunities — mid-level giving and gifts in wills. You’ll also get to try your hand at corporate, peer-to-peer fundraising, and more.

This is an amazing opportunity for an all-rounder to flex your people power, marketing creativity, data smarts, and project coordination skills all in one role.

In this role, you’ll:

• Take the lead on our mid-value giving and gifts in wills programs, building meaningful relationships and nurturing donor loyalty.
• Oversee smaller but growing income streams including corporate giving and peer-to-peer fundraising.
• Develop supporter journeys, digital ads, emails, and campaign materials that engage hearts and minds.
• Build genuine one-to-one relationships through phone calls, emails, and the occasional event.
• Use your project management skills to manage suppliers and keep things running smoothly, and your data skills to spot opportunities to grow our impact.

We’re looking for someone who:

• Thrives on building relationships and connecting with people.
• Has strong communication skills—both written and verbal—and a flair for storytelling.
• Is highly organised and confident juggling multiple projects.
• Is data-savvy and comfortable using CRM systems (we use Salesforce).
• Brings energy, strategic thinking, initiative and a genuine passion for tackling the climate crisis.

What we offer our employees:

• Flexible work arrangements to ensure positive work/life balance
• 5 Recharge days each year to ensure your wellbeing is looked after
• Passionate, friendly and expert teams where all opinions are valued
• Competitive annual base salary + superannuation
• A strong culture of celebrating employees successes, both personally and professionally.
