About Us
At Oxfam Australia, we believe all lives are equal and no-one should live in poverty. We are a member of Oxfam International, a global confederation working with partners and local communities in 87 countries.

Description
Why you will love working at Oxfam
As part of Fundraising and Resource Growth team, you will use your skills, qualifications, lived experience and initiative to tackle inequality and flight poverty. Yes, you read that right, lived experience and initiative, because it is not all about key selection criteria.
Research shows that women will only apply for a job if they meet 100% of the selection criteria, while men will apply if they meet an average of 60%. We understand that life teaches us so much, so if you don't meet all the criteria but just know that you have what it takes, then please apply.
The Role
The Fundraising and Resource Growth Section (FRG) at Oxfam Australia exists to inspire and invite individuals, communities and institutions to contribute their financial support, ideas and resources to tackle inequality and fight poverty.
Playing an important role in the Philanthropic Partnerships Unit, the Philanthropy Coordinator is responsible for supporting engagement with Trusts & Foundation, coordinating key supporter events, and providing key planning and communications support to all members of the Unit. Reporting to the Head of Philanthropic Partnerships, this role contributes to a diverse range of projects and the team’s income goals by working closely with all members of the unit, as well as key internal stakeholders across the agency.

- A base salary of $83,753.93 plus superannuation, superior leave benefits and access to generous non-for-profit salary packaging program (up to $18,450 of your salary tax-free).
- The opportunity to use your talents and expertise to make a positive impact around the world.
- We value flexibility and seek to support our people to work in ways that meet their work/life commitments and support their wellbeing.
