Fundraising & Marketing Coordinator

About Orange Sky Aotearoa

Orange Sky is the world’s first free mobile laundry and shower service, providing support to people experiencing homelessness and hardship. Launched in Aotearoa in 2018, after beginning in Australia, our kaupapa is to connect communities by working alongside service partners and community groups to uphold the dignity and mana of whānau experiencing homelessness and hardship.

In Aotearoa, we are privileged to walk alongside whānau and communities in need, fostering genuine connections through clean clothes, warm showers, and meaningful kōrero.

We currently operate across Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, Kirikiriroa Hamilton, Te Matau-a-Māui Hawke's Bay, Porirua, Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington and Ōtautahi Christchurch. With 41,600 Kiwis (1 in 100) experiencing homelessness, our kaupapa is to break down barriers and bring people together through acts of kindness and connection. We’re driven, dedicated, insanely ambitious and a little unconventional. We take our work seriously but have plenty of fun along the way. We work hard and ‘get it done’ but always make time to celebrate each other’s success.

The Role

We’re looking for a proactive and hands-on team member to join our small, friendly, and passionate Marketing, Fundraising & Partnerships (MFP) team in Aotearoa. Working alongside the wider MFP team (across Australia and New Zealand), you will use your fundraising and marketing knowledge to implement a broad range of fundraising and marketing practices to suit New Zealand audiences and supporters.

The Fundraising and Marketing Coordinator will support the MFP team by effectively delivering and executing activities and campaigns across diverse fundraising streams, with a strong focus on individual giving, regular giving, and community fundraising. This role is critical in ensuring Orange Sky’s kaupapa of positively connecting communities is upheld through thoughtful, authentic, and impactful fundraising and marketing practices.

This is a fast-paced, remote-based role where collaboration, relationship management, time management, and data-driven decision-making are key. You’ll thrive working both autonomously and as part of a team, with opportunities to connect and travel. Proactivity in building relationships and navigating a remote environment is essential. This role will be responsible for:

• Provide high-level administrative support
• Maintain and enhance internal processes to ensure best practice and improvements
• Conduct donor research, support relationship cultivation
• Prepare reports and updates to showcase impact and timely, thoughtful communications
• Collaborate & coordinate with internal and external stakeholders to execute campaigns, presentations and events
• Contribute to content creation and strategy, ensuring Orange Sky Aotearoa's unique perspective and whānau stories are authentically integrated into all marketing materials
• Enhance visibility and awareness of Orange Sky Aotearoa by assisting with media and PR opportunities
• Confidently manage social media platforms
• Contribute to revenue targets by actively supporting, planning, executing, as well as reporting and evaluating
• Respond promptly to enquiries
• Identify and implement scalable and repeatable solutions

Who are we looking for?

We want you to demonstrate commitment to making a difference, with a passion for the cause and a strong desire to contribute to a vibrant, kaupapa-driven organisation. You’ll have the ability to bring our donors, sponsors, and supporters on an amazing journey with Orange Sky, in our mission to positively connect communities.

Our ideal candidate will have at least 3 years experience at a similar role, preferably within the not-for-profit sector, with a proven track record in individual giving, regular giving, community fundraising, donor acquisition, retention, and maximising donor value, as well as:

• Strong copywriting, project management, and data analysis abilities.
• Excellent communication skills across written, verbal, and digital environments.
• Ability to analyse growth and fundraising opportunities with a data-driven mindset.
• A high attention to detail, with the ability to balance multiple priorities and meet conflicting deadlines.
• Strong interpersonal skills, capable of building and maintaining honest relationships.
• Proactive, highly organised, and able to navigate a fast-paced environment.
• Growth mindset with a willingness to learn, problem-solve, and strive for best practices.
• Ability to maintain confidentiality and discretion at all times.
• A fun and vibrant attitude, ready to grow professionally in a dynamic setting.
• Experience with project management tools, fundraising platforms, and CRM databases, especially Salesforce.
• Strong competency in Microsoft applications and internet-based tools.
• While proximity to our service locations is advantageous, we are open to considering candidates from other areas who have the right skills.
