The Opportunity:

Working across IWDA and the Collective, you'll connect opportunities with the right expertise, foster collaboration and mobilise resources and capabilities to strengthen collective action on feminist climate justice.

Desired Skills and Experience
  • Demonstrated experience in program and grant management, including budgeting, donor reporting, sub-grant administration, contracting, compliance and monitoring, evaluation and learning.
  • Experience supporting and coordinating coalitions, networks or collectives, including convening meetings and workshops, facilitating collaborative processes and providing Secretariat support.
  • Strong relationship-building and communication skills, with the ability to cultivate trust, navigate diverse perspectives and foster collaboration across stakeholders.
  • Strong organisational and administrative skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities, navigate complexity and deliver quality outcomes both collaboratively and autonomously.
  • A demonstrated commitment to feminist and decolonial values, with an understanding of feminist climate justice and how these principles can be embedded in program management, grant-making and collective processes.

A Little About You
You are a relational and collaborative leader who understands the power of collective action in advancing feminist climate justice. You bring the ability to connect people, resources and opportunities, while creating the conditions for diverse voices to contribute, collaborate and lead. You are comfortable balancing the practical demands of program and grant management with the relationship-building, coordination and stewardship needed to support a growing collective.
You will bring:
  • A strong commitment to feminist climate justice, with an understanding of how gender, power and systemic inequalities intersect with the climate crisis.
  • A relationship-centred approach to leadership, with the ability to build trust, nurture partnerships and bring diverse people together around shared goals.
  • The ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on program and grant management, taking initiative and accountability for delivering outcomes.
  • Confidence facilitating collaborative processes, navigating different perspectives and supporting constructive dialogue, shared decision-making and collective accountability.
  • A commitment to feminist and decolonial values, including sharing power, recognising privilege, practising care and working respectfully across differences.
  • A thoughtful and adaptable approach to navigating complexity, managing competing priorities and contributing to a small, collaborative team.
