Make a meaningful difference with us

We’re looking for someone who wants to make the world a little better through small moments that leave big impacts.

Step into a pivotal leadership role at the forefront of UnitingCare’s philanthropic transformation, where your proven experience leading capital campaigns within complex organisations will directly shape the future of healthcare in our communities. As Senior Manager, Capital Campaigns, you will bring strong philanthropy expertise and a track record of delivering large-scale multi-year campaigns—leading strategy, governance and execution to secure significant investment in life-changing infrastructure and services.

This is a rare opportunity for an experienced campaign leader to drive high-impact campaigns from the ground up—establishing the systems, rhythm and collaboration required to deliver meaningful outcomes at scale. Working in close partnership with clinical leaders, executives and fundraising teams, you will guide direction and delivery to ensure each campaign is strategically positioned, donor-centred and set up for long-term success.

If you are driven by purpose and bring deep experience leading capital campaigns, this role offers the platform to deliver transformational initiatives that will share the future of care for generations.

Lead end-to-end delivery of complex, multi-year capital campaigns, providing senior leadership across strategy, governance and execution in a complex organisational environment.

Establish and oversee robust governance, reporting and decision-making frameworks to support Executive and Board oversight.

Lead and develop a high-performing campaign delivery function, fostering accountability, capability uplift and cross-functional collaboration.

Act as the central leadership point across fundraising, marketing, clinical and executive stakeholders – aligning diverse groups to a share campaign vision.

Oversee campaign pipeline strategy, performance insights and systems to support relationship-led fundraising outcomes
