This is an opportunity to contribute your expertise to an organisation creating tangible impact internationally, while working alongside an engaged and values-led Board.
Commitment

• Four Board meetings per year
• Two meetings conducted face-to-face in Sydney
• Remaining meetings held virtually
• Opportunity to contribute strategically outside formal meetings as required

We are particularly interested in individuals with experience delivering projects internationally, ideally within Africa or other developing regions.

Experience may include:

• Construction or infrastructure delivery
• Community development projects
• Project management in remote or international settings
• NGO or humanitarian infrastructure programs
• Stakeholder engagement across diverse cultural environments

The successful candidate will bring practical insight into delivering sustainable projects in complex environments.

We are also seeking a Board Director with strong technology and cyber security expertise.

Experience may include:

• Cyber security governance and risk
• IT strategy and infrastructure
• Digital transformation
• Data privacy and protection
• Technology leadership or advisory experience

This Director will support the organisation in strengthening governance, systems resilience and future-focused digital capability.

About You
You are a strategic and collaborative leader who is passionate about contributing your expertise to a mission-driven organisation. Previous Board experience and a qualification from the AICD is welcomed but not essential for candidates with strong executive or specialist backgrounds.

The Barbara May Foundation values diversity of thought, lived experience and professional background and encourages expressions of interest from candidates with a genuine commitment to global health and community impact.
