AddressThis is why we could not be more excited about partnering with Mental Illness Education ACT (MIEACT) in the search for their Chief Executive Officer.
MIEACT is a vibrant and well-respected ACT not-for-profit (NFP) that works hard to achieve the organisation’s vision that people are empowered through education to sustain mental health and wellbeing. They strive to deliver this through embracing the lived experience of the community and volunteers to provide mental health education programs in schools, workplaces and the wider community to address stigma, increase knowledge and to promote help seeking and open conversations about mental health.
Key to this role is looking at the potential for diversification of revenue. Your commercial acumen and experience in developing new partnerships and channels of funding and sponsorship/donations are areas that you have proven success in. You understand the NFP sector and the nuances of running a business in this space but also bring enough experience in a commercial setting to know how best to position MIEACT for growth as they strive to expand program delivery, including into workplaces, and to develop outside the ACT. Stakeholder management is your super-power. You know how to foster a strong bond with the Board, positioning yourself as a trusted leader that they can rely on to deliver. Externally you will focus on strengthening existing bonds and building new bonds with those who align with the values and mission of MIEACT. Last but by no means least, you are a true leader capable of fostering a positive team culture and bringing energy and empathy to the leadership of continuing and casual staff, and a loyal and dedicated base of volunteers.
What we saw? A professional and caring Board who are all aligned to deliver the best outcomes for MIEACT. A team of dedicated staff members who have worked hard to build a collaborative and positive team culture excited about working with a new leader. A strong brand and reputation that provide a solid foundation for the diversification of new revenue streams.
What an exciting time to join! You are coming into an organisation with solid foundations and a highly engaged team of people motivated to deliver outcomes for the community and to attract more organisations in Canberra, and beyond, to MIEACT’s unique program offerings.
What an opportunity to move into a non-profit CEO role that allows you to bring your commercial acumen to the table to diversify revenue and see a direct impact on the community. You might be a seasoned CEO ready for your next challenge, or a skilled general manager looking for their first CEO opportunity. Either way you bring strong leadership; experience in managing budgets and P&L’s; proven track record in developing new revenue streams; and a calm, empathetic and even-tempered approach to all you do.
This position is available as a three-year full-time appointment, located in Canberra. An attractive salary package is on offer and PBI salary packaging is applicable.
