Join to apply for the Event and Partner Experience Coordinator (Social Impact) role at Ripple Opportunities
Run events that feel more like an opening night than an Outlook invite? Love the buzz of a good bump-in and the calm of a colour-coded run sheet? This is your moment.
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.
Ripple Opportunities is working with The Funding Network to help them find their next Event and Partner Experience Coordinator. Could it be you?
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.
What's involved:
The balance of work will shift but to start:
You’ll be the ringleader behind 15–20+ national events each year. Booking venues? Sorted. AV wrangling? Nailed. Run sheets, donation follow-ups and making sure the lights go down just right? You live for it. Think: part festival crew, part group holiday organiser, part stage manager on opening night — you make it memorable and high impact.
TFN’s events are powered by incredible partners — and you’ll help make sure their experience is smooth from first hello to final follow-up. Whether it’s confirming details, fielding last-minute curveballs, or sending that all-important thank you, you’ll be the calm, capable connector keeping everyone in sync and feeling well looked after.
We’re a small team, which means your fingerprints will be on a bit of everything. You’ll help fine-tune event systems, support the CEO and partnerships team during big moments, and jump into areas like marketing when the to-do list stacks up. You’ve got a sixth sense for what needs doing — and maybe even a secret love of ticking things off.
If any of the above resonated with you but you don’t tick every box:
You should throw your hat in the ring.
You might not have every checkbox ticked - but if you’re curious, quick to build new skills and can share how your existing skills and experience will translate into this context, we’d love to hear from you!
