The Foundation
The Juukan Gorge Legacy Foundation was established in May 2023. The Foundation’s purpose is to support the Puutu Kunti Kurrama People (and Pinikura People and other Aboriginal People), by:
- Building the Puutu Kunti Kurrama community to be strong and proud internally and externally;
- Providing programs and services that promote and protect traditional law and custom, language and culture, and maintaining and strengthening traditional connection to Country;
- Providing programs and services that support community health, well-being, and self-determination; and
- Fostering economic development of projects and industries for financial independence.
The Director, Programs and Impact is a key member of the executive team responsible for leading the design, implementation and evaluation of the Foundation’s program and impact strategy. This role ensures that the Foundation’s investments and initiatives are strategic, evidence-informed, and measurably effective in delivering positive social outcomes for the Foundation’s beneficiaries. Responsibilities include leading the design and delivery of initial projects that reflect the Foundation’s ways of working and strategic priorities and overseeing the end-to-end program lifecycle.
The Person
If you are committed to Aboriginal-led development and have significant experience in a senior leadership role within the not-for-profit or public sector, ideally with a focus on social impact, we would be interested in hearing from you. Demonstrated expertise in program design, delivery and evaluation, in addition to excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills, is the ideal skillset for this position. Familiarity with grant funding or social investment models will be valuable and a relevant tertiary qualification is desirable.
The Package
This is an opportunity to make a significant contribution to the lives of current and future Foundations members and First Nations People. In return, a permanent contract is on offer and a base salary of $160,000 to $170,000 plus superannuation. Salary packaging is available and flexible working arrangements are by negotiation. This role is to be based either in the West Perth office or the Pilbara, to be negotiated for the successful candidate.
