Invitation to join the "ICLEI Oceania" Management Board
Are you an Australian resident holding citizenship, who is passionate about the governance of efficient non-profit entities working in the sustainable development space in Australia and the wider Oceania region?
ICLEI Oceania — the regional chapter of a global network of 2,500+ cities advancing sustainable urban development — is seeking an Australian-based volunteer Board Member to join our small Management Board in overseeing the governance of our non-profit Australian-registered legal entity, which forms part of a network of over 20 different legal entities operating collectively under the wider ICLEI global organisation with it's World Secretariat based in Bonn, Germany.
We’re looking for someone, on a pro bono basis, with proven experience in not-for-profit governance and ACNC compliance in Australia who will help oversee the work of a small team of professionals led by the CEO and Regional Director of the office in accordance with our global framework, structures and strategic priorities.
The Board normally convenes online on a quarterly basis (or, where possible, in person) to oversee governance, financial management and other high level operational requirements as these may arise. The Board works directly with the CEO and Regional Director, responsible for efficient operations of ICLEI Oceania and the implementation of our globally defined ICLEI strategy, within the Oceania region, as well as the management of the ICLEI Oceania team and our strategic partnerships. The Regional Director is appointed by, and reports directly to ICLEI's global Secretary General while accountable to the CEO and Management Board in terms of Australian legislative requirements for not-for-profit companies. (Note that it is at times the practice in ICLEI that the CEO is also appointed as Regional Director of an ICLEI office, but this is decided on a case by case basis by ICLEI's Secretary General).
To apply for the position please send a covering letter of interest and CV to admin.oceania@iclei.org by Friday 21 November, 2025.
For any queries please contact the ICLEI Oceania CEO / Regional Director, Ms. Kobie Brand who is also ICLEI's global Deputy Secretary General at kobie.brand@iclei.org.
