Invercargill City, New Zealand Southland Foundation Full time

Southland Foundation – Invercargill, South Island

Community Foundations are local, independent, and not-for-profit. They run a well-proven model of giving which has been growing across the world for over 100 years, and they are now established in 18 regions in New Zealand. Community Foundations build long-term, reliable funding streams for their local communities by investing and growing the donations they receive.

Southland Foundation is Southland’s Community Foundation and provides a trustworthy vehicle for people to contribute to the local causes that really matter to them. Through our perpetual model, any gift to the community is everlasting.

The Foundation is now at an exciting stage of growth, following the successful establishment of its operations in 2024. Our founding General Manager, who played a pivotal role in launching the Foundation, is exiting as planned, creating an exceptional opportunity for a new leader to take the organisation to its next stage of development.

The Opportunity
We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled General Manager (GM) to drive the Foundation’s continued growth, raise awareness of our mission, and build understanding of the opportunities available for individuals, businesses, and other organisations to support the community through giving. As GM, you will be the public face of the Foundation, ensuring that we are effectively engaging with our community, stakeholders, and potential donors, and building a strong foundation of support to realise our ambitious vision. This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced and results-driven individual who is passionate about community impact and social change.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Strategic leadership
  • Partnership building
  • Team management
  • Operations & governance

Ideal Candidate:

We are open to both part-time (30 hours per week) and full-time applicants. The ideal candidate will possess:

  • Exceptional strategic thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making abilities.
  • Proven experience in leadership, management, or executive roles.
  • Commercial acumen to work credibly with a wide range of local stakeholders.
  • Proven track record of identifying new opportunities for growth.
  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to inspire and engage diverse audiences.
  • The ability to manage a small, committed team while also working collaboratively with high-level volunteers and stakeholders.
  • A passion for community-building, social impact, and making a difference in people’s lives.

Why Join Us?
This is a unique and rewarding opportunity to play a key role in the growth and success of the Southland Foundation. The Foundation is poised to make a significant impact in the community. You will be supported by a highly engaged board of volunteer trustees, a passionate team, and a network of supporters committed to making a difference. If you are an entrepreneurial leader with a passion for social good, we invite you to apply and help us shape the future of Southland Foundation.

How to Apply:
