About Young Change Agents

Young Change Agents (YCA) is a national not-for-profit social enterprise that equips young people aged 10–25 with the entrepreneurial mindset, skill set and toolset to create their own futures. Over the past 10 years, we have grown from a grassroots idea into a leading force in purpose-driven entrepreneurial education, reaching over 220,000 young people across Australia and internationally. With a strong foundation (1,900 schools across Australia and 4,400 educators), a co-designed program suite, a talented team and a national reputation, we are now poised to scale our reach to 2 million young people by 2030 and beyond.

We believe entrepreneurial skills are one of the best ways to teach agency (the ability to shape the future) in a world that’s changing faster than the system can keep up.

The role

The Delivery Manager is responsible for planning, managing and reporting on all aspects of our projects. They make sure the experience for students, educators, facilitators and supporters upholds the promise, obligations and opportunities of our work.

Working with a small yet mighty team, under direction from the CEO, this role leads and coordinates delivery within approved programs, budgets, funding agreements and YCA’s strategy. It balances facilitating workshops across the country, coordinating and supporting a strong team of facilitators, and managing the delivery of our pipeline of programs.

What you’ll actually do

• Manage projects: Lead the end-to-end planning and execution of projects (grants, fee-for-service and pilots) within approved plans and funding agreements. Monitor timelines and deliverables, contribute to budget planning and tracking, and flag strategic opportunities with the teams.
• Accountability: Deliver what we promised, on time, on budget and in line with each program agreement. Escalate decisions about scope, budget or commitments to the CEO and executive team.
• Supervise and coordinate our casual facilitators and delivery resourcing, including recruitment, onboarding, rostering and development.
• Process and reporting: Our systems enable our scale. Update, automate and improve our project workflow, CRM, budgeting and reporting. Proactively look for insights that strengthen data integrity and continuous improvement.
• Represent and present: Facilitate in-person and online workshops and meetings with primary and high school students, educators and more. Role-model an entrepreneurial mindset, agency and what great delivery looks like. Build and follow through on relationships with diverse stakeholders, working towards our long-term vision

Who we’re looking for

• Delivery: You have experience delivering programs or running operations in education, not-for-profit or community impact settings, ideally including different learning styles, design thinking and entrepreneurial learning. You care about giving young people the opportunity to develop and grow. (Formal teaching experience not required).
• Clever and calm coordination: You have a proven track record in multi-stakeholder projects where you were responsible for delivering results within defined timelines, budgets and agreements. You’re highly organised, accountable and process-oriented to deliver within complex, multi-stakeholder settings.
• Self-direction: You’re comfortable working remotely with a dispersed team. You’re a self-starter and culture creator who moves easily between in-person delivery, travel, meetings and online work.
• Disposition: You think in systems and care about people. You can hold a project timeline and a relationship at the same time. A strong team player that is consistent without being rigid, and you’re honest about what’s working and what isn’t.
• Commerciality: Experience with fee-for-service and grant-funded delivery
• Practicalities include an Australian driver’s licence, a registered vehicle, a Working with Children Check or Blue Card, and the ability and willingness to travel.
• Toolset: Our team works in Slack, Google Workspace, Salesforce, Confluence, Canva, Jotform and Trello.
