'everyone has a family history’

• Broad leadership role based in Sydney CBD
• Unique membership organisation

The Society of Australian Genealogists was formed in 1932 and is the oldest family history society in Australia. It delivers a range of valuable education programs and guidance, helping people to find their families and share their stories. This is an exciting opportunity to take up the position of Executive Officer when the current incumbent leaves later this year.

Reporting to a capable and committed Board, the EO is accountable for the overall performance, sustainability and reputation of SAG, and implementing the strategic plan. As leader of this small organisation, you will participate actively in operations, working closely with a competent team of four staff and dedicated volunteers.

For this key position, you will need demonstrated management experience and the ability to lead staff and volunteers in a hands-on environment. You should also have well-developed communication skills, as you’ll be working with diverse stakeholders such as Board members, donors and government agencies. Familiarity with libraries, archives, collections or membership-based organisations would be well regarded.

If you’ve got the ability to drive this engaging membership association, and have an interest in genealogy and family history, please send your application to apply@mayersrecruitment.com.au or call Philip Mayers AM on 0412 104 096 for a confidential discussion.
