Income Generation Consultant
Work with us to shift our mindset as an organisation, moving from primarily receiving income from public sector bodies to proactively seeking funding from a wide variety of organisations. We want you to develop an income generation strategy and plan to enable IRISi to have a sustainable business model harnessing our existing knowledge assets and skills.
