ABOUT THE FRED HOLLOWS FOUNDATION

The Foundation is an international development organisation working to prevent blindness and restore sight. We continue to carry on the legacy of Professor Fred Hollows, who believed every person had the right to quality eye care, no matter where they live. The Foundation has grown to work in more than 25 countries throughout Africa, South Asia, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and the Pacific, as well as Australia. The Foundation has restored sight to more than 3 million people worldwide. We have an ambitious five-year strategic plan that aims to take us even closer to realising our vision of a world in which no person is needlessly blind or vision impaired and Indigenous Australians exercise their right to sight and good health.

THE OPPORTUNITY

The Senior Donations & Database Coordinator plays a key role within the Donations & Database Team, supporting the effective management of The Foundation's supporter database and donation processing functions. This position ensures high standards of donor care and contributes critical data insights and reporting to support marketing and fundraising initiatives.

The position is also responsible for training, coaching, and supporting team members in donor care and donation management, identifying issues, coordinating resolutions, and monitoring outcomes to drive process improvements and operational efficiency.

The Senior Coordinator acts as a primary escalation point for complex supporter enquiries and complaints and provides backup coverage for 1800 donation calls and the public email inboxes in the absence of the Inbound Call Specialist. This role also deputises for the Senior Donations & Database Manager when required.

  • Reconcile single-giving income coming in to the Foundation's bank accounts and support Finance with reconciliation queries as well as financial audits by providing necessary data and documentation.
  • Import data securely from third-party suppliers and stakeholders into the CRM database.
  • Manage estate donations in coordination with the Bequest team.
  • Lead team data entry of invoice requisitions into iPOS.
  • Maintain secure filing, archiving, and timely deletion of data in line with The Foundation's retention policies.
  • Identify and implement opportunities for streamlining and enhancing processes.
  • Collaborate effectively with internal teams and external stakeholders.
  • Maintain accurate and up-to-date documentation of procedures
  • Problem solve technical and processing issues related to CRM, website, and payment gateways; support system testing and upgrades.
  • Support training of volunteers, temporary staff, and CRM backfill personnel.
  • Record and share strategic supporter feedback to inform improvements and provide insight.
  • Perform other duties as requested by the Senior Donations & Database Manager, including acting in their role when absent.
  • Supervise the team's flexible working between the office and home.
  • Provide relevant and timely feedback and advice to Senior Manager

WHAT YOU'LL NEED TO SUCCEED

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
