The Karrkad Kanjdji Trust ("gada-gut guny-jee") (KKT) brings together Indigenous ranger groups, communities and philanthropists to address some of our nation’s most pressing issues. These include regenerating our natural environment, taking action on climate change, creating meaningful and equal employment opportunities, and supporting the continuation of the world’s oldest living culture.


Reporting to the Philanthropy Director, the Corporate Partnerships Executive plays a pivotal role in securing and growing corporate support for community-designed and community-led projects across more than 50, 000 square kilometres of land and sea Country in West and Central Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory. KKT works across six priority areas – biodiversity protection, fire and climate management, women rangers and leadership, cultural safeguarding, community wellbeing and education – and this role will help connect corporate partners to these high-impact initiatives.


The role will manage a defined portfolio of corporate prospects and donors, driving structured moves management, outreach and revenue growth. It requires discipline, curiosity, strong communication skills and a genuine commitment to respectful partnership building.

• Support stewardship and engagement: Coordinate donor meetings, briefings and site visits to ensure impactful, professional experiences
• Contribute to team-wide initiatives: Collaborate with the Philanthropy Director, CEO and broader team to support campaigns, events and donor engagement activities

This is a unique opportunity to contribute directly to outcomes that Traditional Owners have identified as essential for thriving Country, culture and community. As part of a small and high‑trust team, the candidate will see a clear line between effort and impact, with opportunities for professional development, exposure to senior leaders and occasional travel to remote communities in Arnhem Land.
