About Future Anything

Future Anything unleashes passion, potential and agency in every classroom. We believe every young person deserves to leave school with the passion, potential and agency to thrive; actively participating in their community and forging their future with purpose.

Future Anything works alongside educators, schools, education systems and industry to advocate for, and embed, capability-rich learning, through:

• Our flagship innovation program, The Future Anything Challenge

• Research-backed, inspiring and practical Teacher Professional Development

• Engaging Student Innovation Workshops

• Impactful community-based projects and long-term strategic partnerships

Working for Future Anything means:

— A nine-day compressed fortnight. Full-time pay and a full-time role, but you’ll enjoy a long weekend every second week.

— Six weeks of annual leave a year. With three of these weeks taken at Christmas when the office closes.

— Quarterly Basecamp. Once a quarter, the entire team comes offline for connection, capability building and clarity. It includes a full day of Masterplanning, dedicated entirely to planning the term ahead.

— An annual learning budget of $1,000. We value lifelong learning, and this is yours to put towards whatever you need to grow.

— Flexibility. Days in schools count as office days, which means around two days a week working from home. We understand that life happens outside of work. That’s why we don’t expect a typical 9am–5pm schedule to work for everyone — we offer flexibility for you to do your best work in a way that works for you.

— No marking, reporting or bell times. Say goodbye to those old friends. We set you up with a laptop and everything you need to get good work done.

About the Role

As one of a team of Partnership Managers, you play a vital role in contextualising, delivering and enhancing Future Anything’s award-winning suite of educational programs, maximising the impact of our programs with our partners, and ensuring alignment with our mission.

The role encompasses a diverse mix of learning design, relationship management, educator and student support, facilitating workshops across Australia, plus tasks including administration, stakeholder engagement, innovation, and team collaboration.

It’s a dynamic role, enabling the post-holder to work across diverse school and system settings to make a positive impact in education at a national level.

Learning Design & Program Architecture (25%): You’ll apply your knowledge of the Australian Curriculum, as well as Project-Based Learning, design thinking and entrepreneurial pedagogy, to contribute to curriculum design projects.

Relationship Management & Renewal (30%): You’ll be the warm, generous, and credible key point of contact for a portfolio of Future Anything partners, supporting them before, during, and after program delivery.

Delivery & Facilitation (35%): Using your teaching experience, your knowledge of the latest in design thinking and Project-Based Learning and your outstanding communication skills, you’ll facilitate our suite of engaging student workshops across primary and secondary schools and partner settings.

Organisational Contribution (10%): You’ll work alongside the CEO/Founder, Director of Education and colleagues to contribute to broader Future Anything activities that support the smooth running and ongoing growth of the organisation, and that align with your own professional interests and aspirations.

About You

This role is perfect for you if:

• Students have told you yours was the class they didn't want to miss

• You're a curriculum nerd. You love re-thinking learning design so it's relevant, engaging and aligned

• You're energised by variety.The thought of being in the office one day, and on a plane to Cairns the next sounds like fun.

• You like a good challenge. You hear "that will never work" and your brain goes into Tetris mode, finding the perfect fit.

• You like people. You like meeting new people. You like working in teams. And, you love coaching people (young and old), and celebrating their wins.

You're aspirational, and are looking to work in an organisation that provides the support and the opportunity to grow and progress.

Ultimately, you love education and you're looking for a meaningful and impactful way to make a difference for schools, teachers and young people throughout Australia, and beyond.

— Secondary school teaching and curriculum design experience.

— Experience coaching or mentoring other teachers.

— Experience working with partners beyond schools — councils, regional bodies, cultural institutions or government.

— Experience working within an external education provider, supporting schools from the side.

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

— Current & full registration as a teacher in Australia, with a minimum of 3 years professional experience.

— Everyday access to a private vehicle for work use and an Australian Driver Licence (travel/accommodation expenses will be reimbursed when travelling for work).¹
