The Funding Network runs events that do more than raise hands and dollars — they spark momentum. We bring bold grassroots ideas into rooms full of people ready to back them, creating the kind of energy that funds game-changing work, unlocks powerful networks, and fuels long-term impact well beyond the night itself. It’s fast-paced, high-trust, and all in service of a more generous, inclusive Australia.

Why you might love this opp:

🎤 TFN events are where magic happens. Grassroots changemakers pitch bold ideas. The room shifts. Connections spark. Generosity pours in. We’re not just running pitch nights — we’re designing moments that shift momentum. These events unlock capital, open doors, and leave even seasoned pros more hopeful and inspired than they walked in.

⚡️Our impact in action: In FY24 alone, TFN facilitated nearly $5 million in funds raised through flagship events and partnerships — backing 24 grassroots organisations, coaching 139 nonprofit leaders, and growing an alumni network that’s scaling fast. Across a decade? We’re talking $30+ million in funding, 300+ emerging charities, and over 2,000 leaders. 70% of our alumni have grown into medium or large organisations — proof that when bold ideas get the right backing, the impact travels further than you’d think.

🤝 With big vision and powerhouse partners like AMP Foundation, Macquarie and Accenture, TFN is redefining what modern philanthropy looks like — turning pitch nights into powerful launchpads for the next gen of innovative impact organisations like Consent Labs, Ocean Mind, Studio A and Confit Pathways.

✨ We know you’re not just an event coordinator — you’re part producer, part vibe-setter, part logistics legend. As Event and Partner Experience Coordinator, you’ll bring our flagship events to life — on time, on point, and with just the right edge. From briefing presenters to wrangling suppliers and making sure partners feel supported, you’ll be the steady hand turning big vision into seamless experience.

🧞 We get that your evolving events and production chops might come from anywhere — gigs, media, social enterprise, an agency, or something else entirely (nerdy but excellent quiz nights, anyone?). Whether you’ve run panel nights, festival activations, startup showcases or national roadshows, we care less about where you’ve been and more about how you work: organised, intuitive, creatively minded, and all over the detail.

🎟 From locking in venues and wrangling AV to prepping run sheets, managing guest lists and capturing pledges/donations — you’ll keep our events ticking and our partners feeling looked after. It’s part logistics, part people, and all about making things feel thoughtful, smooth and a little bit special.

🏖 Flexibility meets growth: We’re flexible on hours (30 to 38 per week) and while Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane is ideal, remote works if you’re the right fit. Salary starts at $65K + super and benefits. Whether you’re early in your career or bringing serious events + partnership chops, there’s room to grow. (P.S. If 4 days and a pro-rated salary is your sweet spot, just say so in your application!)

🧋 Bonus: Enjoy bonus hours off with extra paid leave over Christmas-NY and our unique TFN Summer policy (yep, really) as well as salary packaging perks (aka more money in your pocket), access to EAP, additional parental leave, alumni visits around the country (with mgmt sign off) and a work culture built on outcomes, not clock-watching.
