ABOUT IWDA
International Women’s Development Agency (IWDA) is an Australian-based organisation, resourcing diverse women’s rights organisations (WROs) primarily in the Asia and the Pacific, and contributing to global feminist movements to advance our vision of gender equality for all.
ABOUT THE ROLE
The Program Manager – Feminist Climate Justice is responsible for managing From Moments to Movements: Galvanising Australian Leadership for a Feminist Climate Future (subject to funding confirmation, expected mid-September 2025). This three-year initiative aims to build a visible and influential feminist climate justice movement in Australia – centring First Nations leadership and grounded in decolonial and intersectional feminist values.
The initiative leverages the generational opportunities of Women Deliver 2026, the world’s largest civil society gathering on gender equality to be hosted by the Oceanic Pacific in Naarm/Melbourne in April 2026, and COP31, the annual UNFCCC climate summit expected to be co-hosted by Australia and Pacific nations in Tarntanya/Adelaide in November 2026. Yet it is not limited to these moments: its purpose is to contribute to lasting systemic transformation and a sustainable feminist climate justice movement in Australia.
At the centre of this work is the Feminist Climate Collective (FeCC): a group of changemakers driving collaborative and transformative feminist climate action in Australia.
The Program Manager will serve as the Secretariat of the FeCC – acting as a shared resource that coordinates, communicates, and supports governance for the Collective. The Program Manager will ensure the Secretariat is values-driven, trust-based, and relational, enabling members to focus their time on strategy, advocacy, and movement-building. While the Program Manager will be the main point of contact for Collective members, the role will be supported with Secretariat functions by administrative and finance staff at IWDA. The Program Manager will also work closely with IWDA representatives to the Collective who lead on advocacy and feminist movement strengthening initiatives related to feminist climate justice.
