Job Description

General Manager – Partnerships & Funding

Part-time contract | 6 months | $75/hr

We don’t need a fundraiser. We need a door-opener.

Digital Seniors is tackling one of Aotearoa’s biggest silent challenges—older people being left behind our digital world.

We’re looking for a funding specialist. Someone who can pick up the phone, open doors, and bring in funding - fast.

The role

You’ll develop new lead partnerships and funding across corporate, philanthropic, and government sectors.

This is a doer role. Not strategy decks. Not slow pipelines.
Your real conversations → real partnerships → real revenue.

Success = hitting agreed targets and a minimum of a 3x return on the cost of this role.

You

  • You already have the networks
  • You know how to turn relationships into funding
  • You move quickly and close confidently
  • You care about impact, not just income

The details

  • Up to 16 hours/week (flexible)
  • 6-month contract
  • $75/hour
  • NZ-based, location flexible

Why this matters

Your work directly enables older New Zealanders to stay connected, independent, and included in a digital world.

If you’re a connected, commercially sharp operator who gets things done, let’s talk.  Our team are great to work with and enjoy leading our social impact together.
