Lead disaster recovery, strengthen communities and drive impact across Queensland.

Are you an experienced leader, passionate about strengthening communities? Does supporting disaster-affected regions, and driving systemic change in donation management across Australia excite you?

GIVIT, one of Australia's most innovative and inspiring not-for-profits, is seeking a dynamic and proactive Queensland State Manager to lead our disaster recovery and community engagement work across the state.

This is a rare opportunity to combine high-level strategy and hands-on service delivery - working alongside government, councils, corporates and frontline organisations to make sure vulnerable Queenslanders receive the support they need, when they need it most.

• Drive disaster recovery efforts – representing GIVIT at recovery meetings, supporting frontline partners and delivering real-time reporting.
• Be a trusted voice for responsible donation management & the circular economy – representing GIVIT in the media and at conferences and forums.
• Grow influence and partnerships – fostering relationships with government, councils, local recovery agencies, community organisations and corporate partners.
• Shape operational policies, procedures, and tools to maximise efficiencies and impact.

• Proven leadership skills with experience in government, community, or stakeholder engagement.
• Relevant tertiary qualifications or extensive experience in disaster recovery, community development, or emergency management.
• Strong contract or program management skills – including monitoring KPIs & reporting.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, able to influence and inspire collaboratively across sectors.
• Digital savviness and strong CRM and data capabilities.
• A valid driver's license & willingness to travel across Queensland when needed.

• Join a respected, award-winning organisation with national reach and local impact.
• Lead meaningful, life-changing work that supports communities in need.
• Join a dynamic, skilled, and passionate team that celebrates success.
• Professional growth and development opportunities.
• Attractive salary package, including salary packaging up to $15,900 per year tax-free, plus entertainment expense options and a Novated Lease.
• Flexible hybrid work arrangements that value work-life balance.
• Wellness, inclusion, sustainability, and continuous learning at the heart of our workplace.
• Access to professional development, including GO1 learning.
• The chance to shape how Australia responds to disasters and supports communities in need.
