Melbourne, Victoria, Australia PROJECT ROCKIT Full time

The opportunity?


Are you passionate about making a positive impact on society by empowering the next gen? Here's your opportunity to channel your skills and experience into an organisation that's building healthy and inclusive school communities.

PROJECT ROCKIT, Australia's leading youth anti-bullying initiative, is inviting a visionary General Manager to take the helm in leading our dynamic team.


We're a collective of passionate people brought together by a shared dream of creating inclusive spaces and opportunities for young people to be their best selves.

Our purpose is to build a world where kindness and respect thrive over bullying, hate and prejudice and every young person is free to realise their potential.


For over 18 years, PROJECT ROCKIT has been empowering Australian school students with empathy and skills to take real action against bullying, hate, and prejudice.

Our impact speaks volumes - we've reached over 600,000 young minds in communities nationwide. In fact, 99% of surveyed students reported finding our workshops more impactful than other (cyber)bullying education at their school.

Now, we're on the lookout for a General Manager who can spearhead our mission to even greater heights.

Are you ready to be the driving force behind expanding our reach into more schools? Join us and be a pivotal part of PROJECT ROCKIT's journey towards creating a kinder world.
