Executive Officer
The General Sir John Monash Foundation is looking for an Executive Officer to work as part of a small but passionate team that oversees one of Australia’s most prestigious postgraduate scholarship programs, the John Monash Scholarships Program. More than 260 outstanding Australians have been awarded scholarships to study overseas at leading higher-education institutions since the Foundation was established just over twenty years ago.
This is a wonderful opportunity to join the management team overseeing the prestigious John Monash Scholarships Program and the John Monash Leadership Academy.
The scholarships program and leadership academy come under the umbrella of the General Sir John Monash Foundation, a not-for-profit organisation that provides postgraduate scholarships for Australians to study at highly rated institutions overseas then facilitates ongoing leadership opportunities for Scholars. The Foundation has a passionate management team led by Chief Executive Officer Paul Ramadge and an experienced board chaired by Jillian Segal AO.
The Executive Officer will work alongside the CEO and CFO/Company Secretary to provide executive support, project manage strategic priorities and improve governance and events management.
The role will suit a candidate with all-round management skills, an ability to work effectively and flexibly in a small team, with strong time management and communication skills. The successful candidate will be passionate about the Foundation’s nation-building mission.
Previous experience as an executive officer is not a prerequisite. The Foundation is keen to attract a motivated self-starter with an ability to learn quickly and become a highly valued member of the team. The ideal candidate will have 3+ years of professional experience after completion of a relevant degree or 5+ years of professional experience in a comparable role.
Foundation staff enjoy flexible working conditions and benefit from an excellent working environment in the CBD.
