Director Sought for New Org: Australian Poetry [04.08.2010]

Australian Poetry is a new organisation about to be launched in 2011 as a merger between the Australian Poetry Centre based in Melbourne and Poets Union based in NSW. It will be the peak industry body for poetry in this country with a charter to promote and support Australian poets and poetry locally, regionally, nationally and internationally.

Australian Poetry is seeking a National Director to oversee every aspect of the organization, including managing staff, stakeholders, membership, a national program of events, publications, festival involvement, an education program, an array of special projects, funding, revenue raising and financial matters. The Director should have a clear vision of where how the organization should evolve over the next three years (and beyond) and work towards executing a plan to achieve this vision.

The selected candidate must be based in Melbourne for the time of employment. Deadline for applications is Friday September 3rd. To find out more information or apply, please email admin@australianpoetrycentre.org.au for a position description and the selection criteria.
