Work with us

Living Knowledge Place is moving from development into a pilot and testing phase, with further product development, national launch and scale-up to follow. This is a rare opportunity to help build a genuinely new category of education product from the ground up — one grounded in cultural integrity, community consent and long-term benefit-sharing with the communities whose knowledge it shares.

The LKP Enterprise Development Coordinator will play a key role in the development, operationalisation and launch of the Living Knowledge Place platform. Working closely with internal teams and external partners, the role will coordinate pilot testing, support the implementation of subscription and pricing models, assist in building school engagement and partnership opportunities, and contribute to the systems and processes needed to support the platform's successful launch and sustainable growth.

Key responsibilities

• Support the development and implementation of the go-to-market and subscription/pricing strategy for primary schools nationally, including state and sector-based approaches (government, Catholic, independent)
• Coordinate the school-engagement pipeline, from pilot schools through to national rollout
• Assist with research, analysis and implementation of pricing, licensing and subscription approaches developed by leadership
• Support the identification and development of strategic partnerships, grants and blended-finance opportunities to support platform growth
• Support the transition of the platform from pilot/testing into full operational delivery, working with technology and content development partners
• Coordinate the pilot and testing phase with schools — recruitment, feedback loops, reporting, and iteration
• Implement and maintain operational systems and processes for subscriber management, billing, customer support and platform administration
• Manage project timelines, budgets and risk across the development, pilot and launch phases
• Work within the organisation's cultural governance framework to ensure all content, marketing and commercial activity respects ICIP and Indigenous Data Sovereignty principles

About you

• Experience with business development, customer engagement, product implementation or growth initiatives, ideally within a subscription-based, education, technology or similar environment
• Demonstrated experience with the implementation, rollout, evaluation or growth of a product, service, program or initiative
• Experience working respectfully and effectively with Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander communities, organisations or knowledge holders, or a strong demonstrated commitment to developing this experience
• Demonstrated commercial awareness, including experience contributing to budgeting, reporting, pricing considerations, business planning or growth initiatives
• Strong relationship-building and stakeholder management skills, including with school leaders, government, community organisations and external partners
• High level of self-direction, comfortable operating in a growing, evolving organisation
• Current unrestricted driver's licence
• Desirable: Experience in education sector, particularly primary schools, curriculum bodies or edtech
• Desirable: Experience establishing operational systems (CRM, billing/subscription platforms, support systems) for a growing product or business.

We are seeking Expressions of Interest from people who are passionate about helping shape the future of an Indigenous-led organisation advancing positive intergenerational change through Indigenous Knowledge Systems and practices across Australia and beyond.

We are inviting suitable persons to express interest in becoming a:

• Non-Executive Board Director — to join the Living Knowledge Network Board of Directors
• Committee Members — to join the Living Knowledge Network Board’s Finance, Audit and Risk (FAR) Committee, either as an existing or incoming Director or as a skilled independent (non-Director) member.

Board Directors

We are seeking Directors who bring a genuine, active commitment to Indigenous self-determination and traditional Indigenous Land Management outcomes, along with the necessary skills to support the Living Knowledge Network’s sustainable growth.

In particular, we welcome interest from suitably qualified or experienced people who can offer one or more of the following areas:

• Organisational strategy and governance expertise. Cultural and not-for-profit governance would be desirable, not necessarily essential.
• Finance, risk management, legal or regulatory compliance.
• Traditional Indigenous Land Management and culture and/or expertise in practical Community-led innovation in self-determined futures.
• Fundraising or philanthropy, including in strategic partnerships.

The ideal candidate will also have at least 3 years’ experience as a non-executive director or senior leader in not-for-profit organisations and possess the following qualities:

Finance, Audit and Risk Committee Members

The Living Knowledge Board is also seeking suitably qualified independent members for its FAR Committee. The FAR Committee supports the Board's oversight of financial sustainability, risk management, compliance and internal controls. This is an excellent opportunity for experienced finance, audit or risk professionals who want to contribute their skills to an Indigenous-led organisation without necessarily taking on a full Board Director role.

We are particularly interested in candidates with:

• A qualified accountant, auditor or finance professional background (CA/CPA or equivalent).
• Experience in risk management, internal controls or not-for-profit financial oversight.
• Familiarity with grant-funded or philanthropically funded organisations as well as developing mixed-revenue models and financial sustainability strategies.
• An understanding of, or willingness to learn about, CATSI Act and ORIC compliance requirements.

The ideal candidate will also have at least 2 years experience as a non-executive director, board committee member, or senior leader in not-for-profit organisations, and the expertise or experience to support the Committee’s work.

The FAR Committee Charter and further information are available upon request through the enquiry details listed below.
