About the Organisation
Revise Recruitment has partnered with the NSW Division of the Liberal Party of Australia to recruit an experienced Corporate Relations & Fundraising Director.

The Liberal Party is one of Australia's most established political organisations, committed to supporting a strong economy, lower taxes, responsible financial management and creating opportunities for businesses and communities to thrive.

Following a period of organisational renewal, the Party is investing in its fundraising capability ahead of the March 2027 NSW State Election, creating an exciting opportunity for an experienced fundraising leader to help shape its future success.

About the Role
Reporting directly to the State Director and sitting on the Senior Leadership Team, you'll lead the Party's corporate fundraising efforts, building and strengthening relationships with corporate partners, major supporters and senior business leaders.

This is a rare opportunity to combine strategic fundraising with high-level relationship management. You'll work closely with CEOs, Chairs and some of Australia's most influential political leaders, creating meaningful partnerships and representing the Party at high-profile events and forums.

Leading a team of three, you'll drive fundraising growth, identify new partnership opportunities and work closely with the State Director, Honorary Treasurer and Fundraising Committee to deliver ambitious fundraising outcomes.

Commercially astute and results-driven, you're a natural relationship builder who enjoys meeting people, developing new connections and identifying opportunities. You bring energy, initiative and a hands-on approach, with the ability to build meaningful corporate partnerships.
