Our mission is to create a healthier and happier planet. Now in our 18th year, parkruns are delivered in over 2,200 locations across 22 countries.
The role
In order to support our growth, we are seeking to appoint a full-time Volunteer Impact & Engagement Manager to join our team on the Gold Coast.
Through the direction of the Head of Event Delivery APAC, the Volunteer Impact & Engagement Manager plays a pivotal role in influencing volunteering strategy and leading on all aspects of volunteer recruitment, training, engagement and culture.
