ATSI Identified position Exciting opportunity in a unique social enterprise Generous leave entitlements ABOUT US
Ngaanyatjarra Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (NPY) Women's Council was founded and is still led, governed and directed by women from the NPY region.
It was created to give a voice to women across 26 desert communities in the cross-border regions of Western Australia, South Australia and the Northern Territory.
Today, we continue to provide progressive, innovative and evidence-based work in service delivery, advocacy and support.
At its core NPY Women's Council is about family and community – walytja.
Our purpose is to work with women, children and their families of the Ngaanyatjarra, Pitjantjatjara and Yankunytjatjara region in central Australia.
Our role is to work side by side and help increase their capacity to lead safe and healthy lives with improved life choices.
ABOUT THE TEAM
Tjanpi Desert Weavers (Tjanpi) was initiated by NPY Women's Council (NPYWC) in 1995 in response to an expressed need by Anangu women for meaningful and culturally appropriate employment.
The Tjanpi team is made up of 8 staff who support this social enterprise within Mparntwe (Alice Springs) and across NPY communities.
Since its inception, Tjanpi (meaning 'dry grass') has evolved into a dynamic Indigenous social enterprise which enables women on the lands to earn a regular income through creating and selling fibre art.
More than 400 Aboriginal women artists across 350,000 square kilometres of the Central and Western Desert region of Australia come together on country to create beautiful, intricate and whimsical fibre art.
The Tjanpi team conducts an annual program of artistic and professional skills development workshops held in remote communities to support.
ABOUT THE ROLE
The Senior Sales & Marketing Officer will support the strategic development of Tjanpi's sales, marketing, relationships and communication portfolio in conjunction with the Tjanpi Manager and the Marketing and Relationships Officer.

Managing and contributing to sales outcomes is achieved through leading and supporting the sales and marketing team, strategic planning and maintaining strong branding and messaging.
The position will periodically require Marketing and Communication Plans to be updated that align with Strategic goals and maintain oversight over content across social media, EDMS, digital and print advertising and Tjanpi's website.
This role offers an opportunity to join a unique, award-winning social enterprise, and your senior artists, to develop mid-range and emerging artists and to encourage and engage new fibre artists.
In addition, Tjanpi Desert Weavers holds a number of exhibitions throughout the year in public institutions and with commercial galleries both nationally and internationally.
Similarly, Tjanpi wholesales work to retail outlets across Australia and overseas.
Tjanpi staff and artists attend in-person and online major art fairs within Australia and occasionally internationally.
