If you are a high energy, customer focused, goal-oriented person with a proven track-record in team management, then this is the opportunity for you. Prior fundraising experience is not essential.

The Office of Development and Alumni Relations is responsible for building the foundations of lifelong relationships between the University’s alumni, business, and the community.

You will need demonstrated successful experience in engagement with and education of internal and external stakeholders to successfully deliver specific project outcomes within defined timelines.

This will be achieved through growing and managing existing corporate, individual and community partnerships, developing and securing new relationships, supporting the Development team in the professional delivery of ECU’s events and building key internal and external relationships. With touchpoints across ECU’s word-class research projects, schools, and other programs at the highest level, the role is varied and dynamic, with scope for creativity and the ability to be part of a contemporary and highly motivated team.

This role would suit a high-energy, motivated leader able to think creatively to achieve our fundraising targets. You are an organised, results-driven team player with demonstrated relationship management experience, exceptional communication skills and the ability to juggle multiple projects that involve budget, pipeline and CRM systems. These are essential skills for this role.
