This is a refreshed national campaign to appoint a key fundraising leader. The role is based in Hobart, and we’re actively seeking expressions of interest from across Australia. The Royal Hobart Hospital Research Foundation supports vital medical research that directly improves the lives of Tasmanians. The work is real, local, and impactful — from cancer to cardiology, from neonatal care to mental health. The Foundation is small, independent, and well regarded, with a capable CEO and a board that backs its mission with clarity and intent. This role offers the chance to build something special, somewhere special. We’re looking for a fundraising professional who can lead strategy and relationships, work directly with donors and partners, and help shape the next chapter of the Foundation’s impact. The program has strong foundations but room to grow, and we’re looking for someone who can bring structure, energy, and maturity to the way fundraising is delivered and experienced. This is not a remote role. It is based in Hobart and grounded in the Tasmanian community. You’ll be close to the people and stories that give this work its meaning, meeting donors, working alongside the hospital community, and representing the Foundation with care and confidence. The position would suit someone with experience in fundraising, partnerships, philanthropy, or donor engagement, someone who builds trust easily, thinks clearly, and leads without fuss. You might come from health, education, the arts, or another not-for-profit sector. What matters most is your ability to connect with people and stay focused on what matters. If you’ve been thinking about a change and want to do meaningful work in a place that offers both professional challenge and personal renewal, this could be the right move.
