Purpose-led organisations need people who understand both the work they do and the communities, supporters and stakeholders they serve.
Six Degrees Executive has established experience recruiting for charities, not-for-profits and the broader For Purpose sector, connecting organisations with professionals across fundraising, marketing, communications and digital, through to senior leadership.
As one of Australia’s trusted not-for-profit recruitment agencies, our team understands that structures can look very different across the sector. Functions are often closely connected, roles can have broad remits, and the experience required depends on an organisation's purpose, funding model, audiences, and stage of growth.
We work across charities and not-for-profits, community and public health, membership and peak bodies, education and other purpose-led organisations.
