Hobart, Tasmania, Australia Landcare Tasmania Full time $80,000 - $120,000 per year

About Us

As the peak body for Landcare in Tasmania, we are a vibrant community of hundreds of member groups and thousands of volunteers state-wide. Together, we continue to protect and restore the soils, waterways, flora and fauna which make Lutruwita/Trouwerner/Tasmania unique.

We are a not-for-profit, non-government organisation and a registered charity with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC).

About the Role

We are at a pivotal moment in our evolution — scaling from a small, passionate team to a statewide organisation delivering significant environmental, agricultural, and community outcomes. This position offers a unique opportunity for an experienced professional who wants to contribute to a values-driven NGO with a clear future of growth and impact. It will appeal to someone seeking a meaningful leadership role that gives back, or to someone already in the for-purpose sector looking to take the next step in an organisation with vision, capacity, and purpose. In time we see the successful candidate progressing into a role as our Chief Operating Officer.

About You

You are an experienced operational leader who thrives in purpose-driven environments and enjoys building the systems, culture, and structure that help organisations grow. You bring a balance of strategic insight and practical, hands-on delivery, comfortably moving between high-level planning and day-to-day operational problem-solving.

You're skilled at leading teams through change, fostering collaboration, and creating a positive, high-performing workplace. People trust your judgement, value your clear communication, and appreciate your calm, solutions-focused approach.

You have a strong grasp of organisational operations — from finance and governance to people and culture — and you're confident navigating the requirements of a not-for-profit environment. Importantly, you're motivated by meaningful work and passionate about supporting community-led environmental outcomes.

You are ready to step into a leadership role that shapes the future of Landcare Tasmania and, over time, positions you for progression into a senior executive role such as Chief Operating Officer.

To Apply

Please submit:

1. Your resume

Please ensure it clearly outlines your experience relevant to the responsibilities and requirements of this position.

2. A short covering letter

In your letter, please provide responses to the following two questions:

  1. Landcare Tasmania is scaling and embedding a new organisational structure. What are the three things you would prioritise in your first 90 days as Operations Manager?
  2. What does a healthy workplace culture look like to you, and what role should leaders play in creating and sustaining it?

Please note: Shortlisted candidates will be asked to complete a psychometric personality assessment as part of the selection process.
