Men are dying too young – and it doesn’t have to be that way.
Around the world, men are facing a health crisis: prostate cancer, testicular cancer, poor mental health and suicide. At Movember we’re on a mission to change the face of men’s health by making it easier for men to talk, act and live longer healthier lives.
Every project, every campaign, every idea adds up to real change. You’ll be part of a moustache-powered crew who believe making an impact and having fun should go hand in hand. Your mission is calling.
DO GOOD. Work for Movember.
Your Mo-Mission (should you choose to accept it):
Since 2018, Movember Ahead of the Game has reached more than 100,000 young people through over 5,000 workshops delivered through community sport across Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Ireland, and Canada. It's Movember's flagship young men's mental health program, and it's growing.
As Program Operations Manager, MAOTG Global, you'll provide the operational backbone that makes this program work at scale. This is a newly created role, and a deliberate one: as MAOTG expands into new markets and enters a significant period of contemporisation and review, the global program needs a dedicated operational lead to own its architecture, governance, and cross-market coherence.
Day to day, that means maintaining the global program plan and operating rhythm, coordinating across market implementation teams in five active markets, and ensuring the frameworks that govern partner engagement, program fidelity, clinical governance, and safeguarding are fit for purpose and consistently applied. You'll own the program-level relationships with Movember's seven global implementation partners, run the MAOTG global community of practice, and serve as the central coordination point for monitoring data, outcome measurement, and reporting across the portfolio.
You'll also play a key role in the rollout of the re-imagined resilience module and contribute to the program's broader contemporisation process, working closely with the Director, Global Sports Health Initiative, the Social Impact Manager, the Product Manager, and the Portfolio Manager to make sure every workstream lands to standard and on time.
This is a role for someone who thrives in complexity, operates with a high degree of autonomy, and understands that getting the operational infrastructure right is what lets a program of this scale actually deliver on its promise. Based in Melbourne, 12-month fixed term contract.
No Moustache Required - but the following are:
At least five years of experience in program or project management within health, community, sport, or not-for-profit sectors, with demonstrated experience managing multi-market or multi-site programs.
A proven track record of building and maintaining standardised operational systems, processes, and tools across complex delivery environments.
Strong stakeholder engagement and relationship management skills, including with externally funded implementation partner organisations.
Demonstrated experience coordinating across cross-functional enabling functions including Finance, Legal, and Marketing and Communications.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to produce high-quality reports, briefings, and operational documents for senior audiences.
Proven skills in risk identification, monitoring, escalation, and mitigation across multi-site programs.
Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities, meet deadlines, and maintain quality standards in a fast-paced, evolving environment.
Outcomes-focused, with a solid understanding of performance measurement, monitoring frameworks, and reporting requirements.
Proficiency in Microsoft Office including strong Excel skills, and experience with project management platforms such as Asana.
Comfortable working with ambiguity, adapting quickly, and exercising sound operational judgement.
Flexibility to work across global time zones, including occasional out-of-hours meetings with international teams.
Not Mission Critical - but for extra street cred:
Experience managing programs in youth mental health, men's health, or community sport settings.
Experience supporting program review, contemporisation, or redesign processes.
Understanding of grant management and contracting with not-for-profit implementation partner organisations.
Experience working in a global or multi-market organisation with geographically distributed teams.
A relevant undergraduate or postgraduate qualification in public health, program management, social sciences, or a related discipline.
GOOD CAUSE:
Working for Movember, you’ll help turn ideas (and moustaches) into millions for men’s health. Every bit we raise changes the face of men’s health by funding research, improving treatments, and supporting programs that help save lives
We’re even shaping government policies on men’s health worldwide. By meeting directly with lawmakers, and helping them understand how more investment on men’s health benefits not just men, but all the communities they serve.
GOOD VIBES:
We love weekends. That’s why our Fridays finish early for nine months of the year. But we also love our office vibe. Because here, it always feels like something big is about to happen. Be it an office-wide surprise birthday party (with cake!) or an open invite for all to hit the pub.
Come the hairy season, the energy cranks up. We’re talking celebrity visits. Live stunts on-site for TV and radio. And when we hit a fundraising milestone, the office gong might even go off. But, for those who prefer calm, no probs: hybrid working means you work where you feel best.
GOOD CREW:
Spoiler alert: we’re a no-ego, all-impact crew. That means everyone gets a say, from new starters to those leading the charge. Collaboration over hierarchies, curiosity over rigid process. And it’s true across all our offices worldwide. We work as one, sharing expertise and celebrating wins. All in the name of making the biggest impact across the globe. United, we Mo.
We offer:
Flexible hybrid working from home and our modern Richmond office
Finish work at 2pm on Fridays (Dec-Aug)
NFP salary packaging (pay less tax)
13 weeks paid parental leave and 5 weeks annual leave
Fun & collaborative culture with employee social events
Free Headspace subscription and other wellbeing initiative
Relaxed dress code
Boy, do we know the feeling of being judged. (Over how we look, and other things that shouldn’t matter.) Being different is how we started. And it’s also helped us raise $1 billion for men’s health. So, we know the power of diverse experiences, skills and perspectives.
And another impressive number is our WGEA gender pay gap: it sits at a big, fat, round 0%. If you’ve got the relevant skills and the right attitude, let nothing stand in your way of firing off your application.
Movember is stronger when Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are part of our crew. We want you to feel supported in exploring opportunities with us. That’s why before applying, we invite you to yarn with Raymond Rosendale, Australian Indigenous Programs Manager, in a virtual catch-up to talk about the role, our community work, or just to share ideas.
Do you want to DO GOOD?
If so, we’d love to hear from you.
