Partnerships & Growth Lead Generation Virtual Assistant

Business Address: Sydney, NSW Australia

Role Overview:

Is seeking a proactive, relationship-driven, and mission-aligned Partnerships & Growth Lead to help grow its global movement of generosity, sacrifice, service, and social impact.

The role will initially focus on the Philippine market, identifying and engaging churches, pastors, volunteer networks, charities, community organisations, philanthropists, and other influential groups that can help introduce them to new audiences and encourage meaningful platform participation.

This is a hands-on role combining lead generation, research, strategic outreach, partnership development, and user acquisition. The successful candidate must understand the client’s mission and be able to communicate its purpose clearly, authentically, and persuasively to potential users and partners.

The initial engagement will be part-time, with opportunities to increase hours and responsibilities as results are achieved. The primary goal is to help the client/business reach its first 10,000 new registered users, while also encouraging active participation and genuine understanding of the platform's purpose.

Scope of Work:

1. Lead Generation & Market Research

• Research and identify potential users, partners, and influential networks aligned with their mission.

• Build targeted contact lists of churches, pastors, congregations, volunteer organisations, charities, community groups, philanthropists, and relevant influencers.

• Identify opportunities within the Philippines to establish an initial user base and develop a repeatable growth strategy.

• Research relevant organisations, decision-makers, community leaders, and referral networks.

• Recommend additional target markets and audience segments based on research, engagement, and conversion results.

2. Outreach & Relationship Building

• Conduct personalised outreach through email, LinkedIn, social media, and other relevant communication channels.

• Introduce them to prospective users, partners, community leaders, and organisations.

• Develop relationships with pastors, church leaders, volunteer coordinators, and other influential stakeholders who can help promote the platform.

• Follow up consistently with prospective partners and interested contacts to encourage registrations and ongoing engagement.

• Explore opportunities for group registrations, referrals, community partnerships, and collaborative campaigns.

3. Partnership Development & Growth Strategy

• Develop and test outreach strategies suited to their mission, audience, and social-impact objectives.

• Recommend practical, cost-effective approaches to increase registrations and active platform participation.

• Identify partnership opportunities with charities, churches, volunteer networks, social enterprises, and philanthropic organisations.

• Monitor outreach performance and refine approaches based on engagement, conversion rates, and return on investment.

• Provide strategic recommendations and challenge existing approaches when alternative methods may deliver better results.

4. User Acquisition & Engagement

• Help drive new user registrations toward the initial target of 10,000 users.

• Communicate their purpose and value proposition clearly so prospective users understand why they are joining.

• Encourage meaningful participation rather than focusing solely on registration numbers.

• Track both new sign-ups and, where data is available, active user engagement.

• Identify opportunities to turn individual registrations into broader community participation through referrals and organisational networks.

5. Pipeline Management & Reporting

• Maintain accurate records of leads, contacts, outreach activities, follow-ups, and partnership opportunities.

• Track key performance indicators (KPIs), including qualified leads, outreach activity, responses, registrations, conversion rates, and active user engagement where measurable.

• Provide regular progress updates and end-of-day reports as required.

• Review performance with the client and recommend adjustments to targets, outreach methods, and priorities.

• Research relevant grants, sponsorships, philanthropic support, and strategic collaborations as appropriate to the role and agreed priorities.
