About Bush Heritage Australia
The Australian bush is a place of outback wonders and rugged beauty. Bush Heritage is an independent not-for-profit that buys and manage land and partners with Aboriginal people so we can protect our irreplaceable landscapes and our magnificent native species forever.

About the Opportunity
Bush Heritage Australia now has an exciting, full-time opportunity for a Direct Marketing guru to join their Marketing and Fundraising team based in Melbourne CBD.
Each year, the organisation does four seasonal, direct marketing appeals (or cash appeal programs) asking supporters for money to fund the organisation's important conservation work.
This exciting and pivotal role is responsible for coordinating all aspects of the direct marketing program at Bush Heritage. You will develop and implement direct marketing programs to increase income from existing supporters through direct mail activities and run acquisition campaigns to attract new cash donors to the organisation. This is essentially a project management role that will see you overseeing (with support from the rest of the marketing team), the end-to-end running of these campaigns.
So, what would a normal day look like?:
- Brainstorming with the marketing team to come up with ideas and themes for the next seasonal campaign that are inspiring, relevant and timely. A recent example was a campaign to support the habitat of native Quoll species across four regions of Australia;
- Liaising with internal experts to get the facts to back up your new exciting idea, then liaising with external creative agencies to provide a campaign brief and STRICT budget parameters;
- Liaising with mailing houses and Australia Post to coordinate the delivery of the campaign packs to over 30,000 supporters quarterly;
- Ensuring all project deliverables are met within set timeframes and debriefing with the internal team on campaign success at the end of the appeal.
