You are a motivated and passionate individual who thrives on building relationships and making a tangible impact. You enjoy engaging with stakeholders, developing creative fundraising initiatives, and working collaboratively to achieve shared goals.

You have strong communication and interpersonal skills, allowing you to connect with a diverse range of partners, donors, and community members. You are proactive, organised, and eager to contribute ideas that help grow Bicycles for Humanity Melbourne’s fundraising and partnerships efforts.

Previous experience in fundraising, stakeholder engagement, or partnerships is valuable but not essential—what matters most is your enthusiasm, willingness to learn, and commitment to making a difference.

If you have previous not-for-profit experience this would be well regarded but again is not essential.
