- Bring BD, fundraising & communications skills at management level
- Friendly & supportive environment
- Attractive salary + super + salary packaging
Exciting plans are afoot for the future of this organisation, including a capital fundraising campaign for a new purpose-built facility – so the search is on for a highly motivated and enthusiastic individual to drive business growth through innovative sales and fundraising strategies.
This small yet exceptional organisation was first established in Brisbane 127 years ago in direct response to need. Today, as the primary provider of tactile literacy for people who are blind or have low vision, the organisation works tirelessly towards its mission: “To empower people of all ages who are blind or have low vision through alternative formats.”
“For every 100 books a sighted child has access to, a blind child only has access to 5.”

Braille books, tactual maps, calendars and support services are designed to help those who are blind or have low vision – while also raising awareness across the broader population to foster inclusion in education and learning environments.
Values define the way this organisation interacts with its clients, partners and the community. Accordingly, this leadership role works within a culture of respect, dignity, inclusivity and empowerment.
With an established, yet small supporter database and fundraising channels that include revenue from government, donations, grants and services, there is immense scope for strategic growth and plentiful opportunities to contribute to the development of key campaigns, events and appeals.
This fabulous yet challenging role requires a talented, engaging and motivated fundraiser with a particular passion for the development of the organisation’s philanthropic strategy.
Organised and disciplined, passionate but grounded, you are personable and engaging – driven by a desire to provide practical, measurable support to the blind, those who have low vision and their families.
You will need to be a seasoned professional with relevant tertiary qualifications in sales/marketing, communications or post grad management, or equivalent demonstratable experience and skills – along with an excellent record of putting your knowledge to work in innovative and productive ways.
The successful candidate will demonstrate strong communication and interpersonal skills and be able to confidentiality position the brand of the organisation, take their goods and services to the market and secure sales. Attracting and retaining new clients will be an important element of your role.
Skills across internal communications, executive reporting, Management Committee and other presentations, special projects (as defined by the GM) and the delivery of the Annual Report are a vital part of the mandate.
It’s anticipated that the capabilities you offer include:
- development and implementation of growth strategies aligned with organisational objectives
- project and capital campaign management, CRM, website and social media activities
- outstanding communications skills and media savvy
Applied knowledge of HR principles, sales, public relations and contract management will also add weight to your application.
