About the Organisation

Deakin University is a leading Australian institution committed to excellence in education, innovative research, and meaningful community engagement. This organisation fosters an inclusive and supportive environment where staff and students can thrive. With a network of over 350,000 graduates, Deakin University is preparing to launch its formal philanthropic campaign to further its mission to be Australia's most progressive university.

About the Role

Reporting to the Vice‑Chancellor, the Chief Advancement Officer will shape and lead Deakin University’s entire advancement portfolio, encompassing philanthropy, alumni engagement, and advancement operations.

You bring a deep understanding of philanthropic trends, alumni engagement, and the strategic levers that drive sustainable growth. A persuasive communicator and trusted collaborator, you excel in engaging diverse stakeholders, from donors and alumni to academic and community partners. With a track record of leading and inspiring high-performing teams, you combine strategic insight with analytical acumen to deliver measurable results and enduring relationships.
