Your resume and cover letter, tailored to exactly what they’re hiring for.
Backpacker Job Board seeks energetic fundraisers to engage with the public, identify supporters, and demonstrate how donations align with our charity partners' missions. You will rotate through different sites each week around Melbourne, making a direct impact with your outreach.
This role operates on a full commission model; top earners have reported days earning 3,000–4,000 AUD, with pay variability tied to performance. Do you have the hustle and mindset to grow with us?
We are firm believers in our fundraisers being the bridges to a new, better and brighter world! Picture this: Utilising your skills as an effective communicator and influencer to help potential donors see how their deepest values align with that of the charity’s values and mission. To lead them to see the big picture, and showing how a small financial sacrifice plays such an important role in building the vision of a better world. Now, imagine them after hearing you out, say “YES, I’d love to help! Where do I sign-up?!”. How does it feel knowing that you could do that with your influence and skills?
Simply put, your role is to engage with the public, find those who care about the cause and as mentioned above show them the value of why their donation benefits the cause they care about! We are at different sites each week and it offers a great opportunity to explore Melbourne, no 2 weeks are the same!
We truly believe that you should be rewarded fairly for your results, personally speaking, someone who twiddles their thumbs most the day being paid the same as someone who is hustling all day, well that just doesn’t sit right with us – if you are nodding along to this idea and believe that all sounds fair enough then this role might be a good fit for you. Our solution is that we pay full commission. A snapshot is that although it may have the risk of a day without pay, our top Fundraisers have had days that exceed 3 - 4,000 for 1 day of work. Risk and reward, those hungry for growth and more will get it.
Being upfront, we have established teams and are looking for those who have experience in fundraising. Fundraising is both a marketing and sales job in one, so those without experience will only be considered if they can demonstrate a mighty mindset, potential for growth and as a person they are just generally someone we would want on the team because who they are and desire to be.
