Her place women's museum
Her Place is Australia's preeminent women's museum and the go-to hub for stories, debates and advocacy of Australian women's achievements. We make women visible through exhibitions, programs and digital innovation. We are transitioning from start-up to a sustainable, multi-stream organisation. We seek a Finding Her Research Hub Coordinator to lead the growth of our fee-for-service business and help build a genuinely diversified, sustainable income base.
OUR impact
- Australia’s leading women’s museum - exhibiting and partnering to drive gender equality.
- Finding Her — an interactive digital map commemorating Victorian women, developed in collaboration with Geographic Names Victoria
- The Finding Her Research Hub, providing fee-for-service research to councils and developers on gender-equitable place naming
- She Leads In Conversation — a public program series featuring prominent Australian women
ABOUT THE ROLE
The Finding Her Research Hub Coordinator leads the delivery and growth of Her Place's fee-for-service research and advisory service to Councils and developers on gender-equitable place naming. This is a hands-on role combining business development with delivery: you will pitch and win council/developer work, deliver it to the standard our methodology requires, and be the public face of the Hub in Melbourne. This role is central to the organisation's delivering on its mission and driving sustainability. The role reports to the Executive Director.
ABOUT YOU
You bring relationship-building instinct together with genuine research rigour — equally comfortable presenting a partnership proposal to a council CEO and getting into the archival detail behind a place-naming recommendation. You likely have a background in local government engagement, cultural heritage, research consulting, or business development within the not-for-profit or public sector, with a track record of winning and delivering client-facing work. Self-directed and commercially minded, you can spot an opportunity, build the case for it, and see it through — all while sharing our commitment to making Victorian women's histories visible in the places we live.
KEY SELECTION CRITERIA
● Demonstrated experience in business development, consulting or client-facing service delivery, ideally with local government, planning or the public sector
● Genuine knowledge of, or strong interest in, gender equity, place naming, public history or a related field
● Confidence pitching services, negotiating agreements and managing client relationships independently
● Strong research, writing and presentation skills
● Based in or able to regularly attend Melbourne and the Abbotsford Convent — this is a genuine requirement of the role, not a preference
● Ability to work independently and adaptively in a small, evolving organisation
● Highly regarded: existing relationships within Victorian local government or with State Government including the Office for Women and DTP.
