The Australian Program Director Opportunity

Reporting to the new role of Australian Chief Executive Officer (CEO), the Australian Program Director will drive the critical mission of transforming Australia from laggard to leader on climate change and amplify energy transition initiatives worldwide. Playing a critical leadership role in the Australian climate action movement, you will build strong relationships across community, industry, government and philanthropy, ensuring programs and strategies deliver impact aligned to mission.

Key Responsibilities

• Strategic Leadership: managing the overarching Australian strategy and program to shift Australia from climate change laggard to leader and drive the transition from fossil fuels to clean energy.
• Program & People Management: Supporting, mentoring and managing a team of experienced Program Directors to develop, implement and evaluate high impact programs aligned to vision.
• Ensuring alignment and cohesion across the Australian program and collective impact.
• Championing Culture: Nurturing vibrant, innovative, inclusive, and life-affirming culture that supports everyone in the team to thrive and unleash their collective power to drive impact in line with mission and values.
• Budget & Resource Planning: Managing program budgets and resource planning processes to maximise funding outcomes and impact aligned to mission.
• Cross cutting strategy and horizon scanning: Identifying emerging opportunities and responding to maximise impact in a rapidly changing world.
• Partnership & Philanthropy: Representing TSPA and fostering relationships with climate movement organisations, the community, Government, business and philanthropic partners.
• Global Network Collaboration: Playing an active leadership role across the Sunrise network to drive the overall impact of global initiatives.

About You

You are an experienced and collaborative leader who knows what it takes to create a vibrant and inclusive culture that unleashes the power of the collective to change the world. With a track record of complex program and campaign delivery and leadership, you have a deep understanding of the political landscape in Australia, how power operates, and the different roles that diverse actors in social movements can play to drive transformation at pace and scale. You are a natural collaborator and influencer who builds trusted relationships across diverse stakeholders to drive outcomes. You have a high risk appetite, are willing to push boundaries to turn ideas into real-world change and have a knack for articulating strategies into simple and compelling ways to engage others on the journey.

The Benefits

This is a rare opportunity to lead social movement programs and networked campaigns that will deliver climate action at scale. Working as part of a global network, you will enjoy collaborating with and learning from innovative thought leaders around the world and build lasting relationships with leading social movements and philanthropic leaders. Alongside an attractive salary package, you will enjoy remote and hybrid working flexibility, autonomy to manage your life/work balance, annual retreats, occasional international travel, and above statutory superannuation entitlements. The Sunrise network believes diversity of experiences and perspectives drive stronger strategies, teams, and movements so you will also enjoy, and actively contribute to, an inclusive and connected culture.
