Unique opportunity to lead innovative resource mobilisation at a progressive international development organisation.
ABOUT IWDAIWDA is an Australian-based organisation, resourcing diverse women's rights organisations, primarily in Asia and the Pacific, and contributing to global feminist movements to advance our vision of gender equality for all.
OUR VISION: Gender equality for all
OUR PURPOSE: To defend and advance the rights of diverse women and girls
OUR GOALS 2023-2025
1. Resource and contribute to resilient and vibrant feminist movements, primarily in the areas of power, leadership and civic space; freedom from violence; and gendered climate justice
2. Promote systemic change towards gender equality for all
3. Build a resilient and relevant feminist organisation
We resource the work of diverse women's rights organisations, enable them to be more effective by providing support that goes beyond money, and we make our own contributions to feminist movements through advocacy, knowledge creation and translation.
As part of this contribution, we take actions to decolonise our approach to feminism and development. We want to become the best we can be in the world at north-south partnerships. This means we seek to understand and leverage our locational power so that we know when to:
STEP UP and use our power to leverage resources and access for women's rights organisations, and make our own contribution to feminist movements
STAND WITH feminist movements in solidarity and amplify the work of global south actors
STEP BACK when others are better placed to take the lead
SIT WITH uncertainty, embrace communal learning and deep listening, and accept that time is needed to collectively discern the best course of action.
ABOUT THE ROLEThe Director, Resource Mobilisation & Communications spearheads a transformative approach to revenue generation and outreach at IWDA. This pivotal role transcends conventional fundraising methods, embracing a vision that encompasses broader partnerships and innovative funding avenues.
Reporting directly to the Chief Executive Officer, this visionary leader is tasked with revolutionising IWDA's financial landscape and amplifying its influence.
The role holder will increase connection and leverage opportunities between all sources of funding by overseeing integrated fundraising and communications functions and by creating and building relationships with major donors (individuals, trusts, foundations and corporates).
