a&co are delighted to be partnering with Lifeline WA to recruit a strategic and passionate Project Manager as the organisation prepares to celebrate 40 years of service to the Western Australian community, four decades of hope, connection, and lifesaving support.

You’ll lead the strategic planning, coordination, and execution of all celebratory activities, ensuring they align with Lifeline WA’s purpose, values, and long-term goals.
This is a full-time, 12-month fixed-term contract, commencing January 2026.
Key Responsibilities:
- Develop and implement a comprehensive 40-year celebration plan in collaboration with a range of internal and external stakeholders.
