Project Ropa is seeking dedicated individuals to join our Board of Directors and help shape the future of our organization. As a small nonprofit, we work tirelessly to provide clothing and hygiene essentials to people in need while advocating for clothing to be classified as essential by the government. Despite the critical nature of our work, we are often overlooked by traditional funders and do not qualify for substantial government funding, unlike many organizations within the continuum of care. With a waitlist of 65 organizations at 87 locations requesting supplies, the need for our services is overwhelming.Clothing is essential for dignity, health, and opportunity—it is a basic need that affects every aspect of a person’s life. Yet, as clothing is not currently classified as essential, access remains a challenge for many.

Your expertise and leadership can help us expand our impact and ensure that everyone has access to these fundamental necessities. Join us in creating a more equitable and compassionate community.

Clean Up Australia is looking for an experienced Salesforce CRM and Marketing Cloud specialist who can provide expert advice and guidance in Salesforce CRM management and the deployment of Marketing Cloud. This is a unique opportunity to play a critical role in improving CRM and marketing systems for Australia’s leading environmental charity.In recent years, Clean Up Australia has undergone significant development and improvement in our systems use. We now have Salesforce as our CRM as well as Salesforce Marketing Cloud. Unfortunately, without a dedicated CRM or Marketing Cloud Manager we are still utilising older systems eg. Mailchimp for EDM communications. Please note we have used Marketing Cloud for one campaign only, with the assistance of a consulting company - this means some templates already exist.
We require the assistance and guidance of an expert who can help with the following:
- Integration of different systems - all of CUA's systems are feeding into Salesforce but we require dedicated data management and cleaning, or guidance on this
- Management and segmentation of data
- Development of EDM templates (Marketing Cloud)
- Journey-building for specific segments
You will have experience in:
- Technical Development of Marketing Cloud
- CRM Management
- Marketing automation solutions
- Leveraging Marketing Cloud functionality for campaign orchestration
- Flow building
And be able to act as a mentor to CUA staff and assist in guiding marketing opportunities via CRM systems.
The role is located at Clean Up Australia’s Sydney office (within short walking distance of Museum and Town Hall stations). Volunteers in this role would elect to give Clean Up Australia a minimum of 6 hours of their time each week.
**What's in it for you:**
• Opportunity to contribute meaningfully to a charitable organisation
Clean Up Australia inspires and mobilises communities to improve and conserve our environment, eliminate litter and end waste.
What was started over thirty years ago, by Ian Kiernan, AO, an "average Australian bloke" who had a simple idea to make a difference in his own backyard has now become the nation's largest community-based environmental event.
Of course, Australia's waste challenges can't be solved in just one day, so over the past three decades, Clean Up Australia has evolved into an organisation that works with community, government and businesses to provide practical solutions to help us all live more sustainably every day of the year.
Today Clean Up Australia’s focus is as much on preventing rubbish entering our environment as it is removing what has already accumulated.
This role will commence in the New Year 2025 but we will be conducting interviews as applications come in.
*Only applicants selected for interview will be contacted*
