Make a Difference Every Day!
Join Plan International Australia—the charity for girls’
equality—and use your skills to create real, lasting change. As our new Regular
Giving Acquisition Manager, you’ll help drive programs that empower children
and girls worldwide. You’ll be part of a passionate, values-led team that
champions diversity, feminist leadership, and innovation. Here, your work

commitment into action and want to feel the impact of your work every day, this
is the place for you.
Who are we?
Plan International is an independent development and
humanitarian organisation that advances children’s rights and equality for
girls.
We believe in the power and potential of every child. But
this is often suppressed by poverty, violence, exclusion and discrimination.
And it’s girls who are most affected.
Working together with children, young people, our supporters
and partners, we strive for a just world, tackling the root causes of the
challenges facing girls and all children.
We support children’s rights from birth until they reach
adulthood. And we enable children to prepare for – and respond to – crises and
adversity. We drive changes in practice and policy at local, national and
global levels using our reach, experience and knowledge.
We have been building powerful partnerships for children for
over 85 years, and are now
active in more than 80 countries.
Plan International, at its core, commits to Safeguarding
Children and Programme Participants. That means we uphold our obligations to
ensuring no children or programme participants are harmed or put in danger of
any kind of abuse, due to their affiliation, interactions, or involvement with
the organisation, its members, or in any of our operations, initiatives, or
activities.
What is it really like?
An average day in the Giving team is quite varied – no day
will be quite the same, but throughout your time, we will see you performing
these duties:
- Working with the Regular Giving Manager to develop and deliver the Regular Giving Strategy, with a focus on quality acquisition
- Managing suppliers to meet acquisition targets, ensuring KPIs are met and expenditure budgets are used effectively
- Leading end-to-end campaign execution including direct mail
- Coordinating with both internal teams and external suppliers to ensure campaigns run smoothly and on time.
- Drafting and proofing communications for donors, ensuring everything aligns with our brand and mission.
- Providing input into data analysis and campaign results so we can keep improving and innovating.
- Supporting the delivery of excellent donor care and resolving queries or complaints with empathy.
