Ready to join a thriving ecosystem and find your purpose?

Bring positive change to local communities as part of a diverse, intelligent and fabulous team that’s disrupting the impact investment landscape. Enjoy flexible working and generous leave, a stunning, state-of-the-art collaborative workspace and a supportive and fun culture where every day is rewarding and challenging (in the best possible way!).

A bit about us

At Sefa, we believe there’s a better, simpler way to create real change in the world. So we help for-purpose organisations build their capacity and resilience and partner with investors to unlock social impact – while generating positive returns. We hold our company values of Togetherness, Integrity and Champion in our hearts and minds as we work each day. We work closely with our sister organisation, Sefa Partnerships, under a joint strategy to create a world in which investing in capability and capital values purpose and contributes to reduced structural disadvantage in Australia.

We, at Team Sefa are all about doing good – and having a good time doing it. We’re a group of avid tea drinkers (and some coffee connoisseurs too), each with a strong case of wanderlust. A diverse bunch of generalists, you’ll often find us immersed in deep and meaningful discussions, always learning from each other.

We balance our weekly team gatherings with a healthy love of chocolate – and the occasional choreographed dance session.

But above all, we're united in our commitment to making sure great social enterprises can thrive well into the future.

About the role

We’re looking for a part-time or full-time Team Assistant to support the CEO, COO and the wider team, so that together we can achieve our goals across Australia’s for-purpose ecosystem.

What you can expect

Every day will be different. On Monday, you might be planning the travel arrangements for a client visit, and in the afternoon doing detective work to match credit card expenses up to receipts. Tuesday, you could be pulling together an external event with panellists and guests, taking notes in stimulating conversations or providing support with board meetings.

In the second half of the week, you might be helping team members prepare research reports or presentations for our many partners and clients. You could be ending the week by organising a fun team celebration and updating the website with a new impact story, or even designing some cool merch for the team or our clients.

You'll be helping to manage Sefa and Sefa Partnerships accounts, including processing invoices, reconciling accounts and other financial analysis. If you are interested in social media, you'll be helping to manage Sefa's social media platforms, crafting engaging social media posts, and designing eye-catching content for our digital marketing needs – think social media posts, website creatives, and infographics. Each day brings a new opportunity to showcase your creativity and organisational skills, ensuring no two days are ever the same.

What we’re looking for:

• Passion, energy, commitment and understanding of the impact investing / social finance / social enterprise sectors.
• Exceptional co-ordination skills and a natural ability to prioritise and organise tasks accordingly
• First-rate communication skills - both written and verbal
• Exceptional computer literacy, adept in using Microsoft Office suite - exposure to Salesforce, Mailchimp, Squarespace and Canva is appreciated
• Experience in financial processing and analysis
• An interest in social media and basic digital marketing, including branding and crafting engaging content or campaigns is helpful but not essential
• A creative mindset, with the ability to design visually appealing materials using applications such as Canva

What you get:

Apart from working with a great bunch of passionate and smart people, you also get five weeks of annual leave with the option to extend your holidays through additional unpaid leave. Hello holidays!

We do hybrid working of 50% in the office and 50% from home. Once you see our incredible offices at Yirranma (translated from Gadigal to “many-create”) Place, we doubt you’ll want to stay away for long. The brand new, purpose-built precinct brings together a community of social purpose organisations and offers countless perks, including:

• Great food at the in-house social enterprise café and kitchen (try the amazing chilli and maple baked pumpkin salad)
• Fully equipped showers, lockers, ironing stations, Dyson hairdryers and more
• Monthly Breakfast club – where you can kick off your workday with a light breakfast and some quality chat with your Yirranma Place community
• Monthly Two Good Twosdays – a regular buffet-style lunch, family style

If you thrive on variety, building deep relationships and want to carve your own path with an organisation that supports your personal growth, we’d love to meet you.
