About the Company
Revise Recruitment has partnered with IIAA (Institute of Internal Auditors Australia), the national professional association representing
internal auditors and assurance professionals. With a mission to champion good governance, accountability and integrity, IIAA provides
world-class education, certification, technical support and advocacy to strengthen audit and assurance practices across Australia.
This is an opportunity to join a respected, purpose-driven organisation committed to advancing the profession and building confidence in
Australian governance.
About the Role
As Head of Engagement & Partnerships, you’ll play a key role on the Senior Leadership Team (SLT) and lead a small, dynamic group driving
commercial growth across corporate training programs, memberships and partnerships.
This is both a strategic and hands-on role; you’ll shape growth strategies, identify and secure large-scale training opportunities, build
trusted relationships with corporate clients, and lead pricing and product development initiatives that enhance both member value and
revenue.
Reporting directly to the CEO, you’ll manage pipeline development, budgeting, and KPI performance while ensuring IIAA engagement strategy
aligns with its purpose and impact.
About the Person
You’re a strategic commercial leader who thrives on connecting people and opportunities. You bring a proven record in B2B sales, corporate
partnerships or business development, ideally in professional services, education or a membership organisation. You’re confident engaging at
the executive level, negotiating contracts and leading a small, high-performing team.
Duties
Skills / Experience
If you are a strategic yet hands-on leader with a passion for growing corporate training programs and partnerships that advance governance
and assurance, APPLY NOW.
Revise Recruitment embraces diversity and strongly encourages applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and people
from culturally diverse backgrounds.
The association sector is in the middle of a leadership handover.
Across Australia and New Zealand, CEOs and Executive Directors are moving on. Some are retiring. Some have gone to larger organisations.
Some have left because the relationship with their Board ran out of puff. The reasons vary, but the movement is noticeable, and Boards are
appointing replacements.
The encouraging part is the calibre of the people coming in. Many are genuinely well suited to the job — capable executives with strong
records behind them. A good number are stepping into an association CEO role for the first time.
Most associations can provide a long list of membership benefits. They may include professional development, advocacy, networking, industry information, events, resources, accreditation, discounts and access to specialist advice. However, a list of benefits does not necessarily explain why someone makes the decision to join.
While every Board is different, the same governance issues appear time and again. One of the most common is allowing one person’s behaviour
to dominate the Board table.
Almost every Board has experienced it at some point. One director who seems to consume more time and energy than everyone else combined.
How we help membership based, not-for-profit associations now and into the future.
