We work towards a vision of a collaborative society — one that is equitable, caring, and sustainable. 

About the role 

At the heart of our organisation is a deep well of expertise, creativity, and rigorous thinking. However, we recognise that while we are brilliant thinkers and do great work, we need someone to help us better communicate the value and impact of what we do to wider audiences. 

We’re looking for an experienced Communications and Marketing Manager with a strong background in strategic communications, ideally with sector knowledge, who can spread the word about our incredible work to support people and places, and grow the movement for a more collaborative, equitable society where we all are supported to flourish.

This role will manage our external communications and marketing content. It will be supported by and report to a Director, while collaborating closely with both the operations and practice team. This role will be ‘top to bottom’, considering and developing our communications strategy, and putting strategy into action by creating marketing materials, optimising our website content, and driving engagement on social media to effectively share our content externally.

About your experience and skills

You will be a versatile and persuasive communicator, particularly in writing, who can adapt their approach to suit people from different sectors and with levels of seniority. 

You will be a creative and practical thinker, capable of developing and delivering annual plans for our communications as well as adapting quickly to new opportunities . 

You’ll thrive in a collaborative team environment, working closely with project team members to develop content, and help them increase their communications and marketing skills. 

Strong organisational abilities are key, as you'll juggle multiple tasks across different timelines. You should also be comfortable with a variety of digital tools and quick to adapt to new platforms. 

Finally, you’re passionate about improving public outcomes, curious about social change, and likely have experience—whether personal, professional, or voluntary—of working toward that goal.
