About the organisation 

Movember is a leading global charity committed to changing the face of men’s health. Our work focuses on improving outcomes in mental health and suicide prevention, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer. Across all of our initiatives, Movember is driven by a bold vision to create meaningful and lasting change for men, boys, and their communities. 

Our Indigenous Programs Portfolio is grounded in Indigenous knowledge systems, data sovereignty, and community-led development.

About the role 

Reporting to the Global Director, Indigenous Programs, the Portfolio Manager – Indigenous Programs plays a central role in coordinating implementation of the Indigenous strategy across global and regional markets. The role is responsible for supporting program management, planning, reporting and process optimisation across the Indigenous portfolio, in line with Movember’s One Movember Strategy and Board-approved Implementation Plans. 

This position sits within the Movember Institute, which leads evidence-building, knowledge translation, and system-level change for men's health. The Portfolio Manager supports delivery of programs through development of implementation tools, risk and financial oversight, strategic reporting, and strengthening relationships with internal teams and external partners. 

This is a fast-paced and cross-functional leadership role requiring strong project management skills, systems thinking, and the ability to coordinate across global teams while centering Indigenous ways of working and being.
