Work from anywhere joining our team of volunteers based across Australia. You will:

• Provide financial management and oversight, maintaining accurate records, reconciling bank statements and managing cash flow, ensuring Project Didi uses its finances in an impactful and transparent way.
• Ensure Project Didi is compliant with the relevant regulatory bodies, including managing the annual financial audit process.

REQUIREMENTS OF A BOARD MEMBER

Project Didi has a small, collaborative Board that takes an “all pitch in” approach. Our Board is more involved in the day-to-day management of the organisation than a typical Board.

The Board meets remotely quarterly. The minimum requirements for the Treasurer role are outlined below. Depending on interest/availability, the Treasurer can choose to participate in the wider strategic planning and organisational management.

As a Project Didi Board Member you will be required to:

• Commit to the role for at least 1 year. 
• Commit approximately 2 days of work a month (1-2 hours a week). You may choose how you distribute these hours over the month. 
• Attend 2 hour Board meetings quarterly, including the AGM, and present on Project Didi’s current financial status. These can be attended remotely. 
• Be aware of, disclose and refrain from any conflict of interest.
• Assist with fundraising and act as a spokesperson for Project Didi, where needed.

APPLY

Please send your CV, along with why you’re interested in the role, to projectdidiaustralia@gmail.com. Please note if you are shortlisted we will complete a reference check and require you to undertake a Police Check.
