Solar Citizens is an independent community organisation that aims to protect and grow solar and renewable energy for Australia. Working with local communities around the country, we run high-impact advocacy campaigns that ensure our nation’s clean energy revolution is accelerated and that people everywhere can harness the power of the sun.

We’re looking for an experienced, dynamic and motivated person who has the initiative and drive to develop a thriving network of active volunteers and deliver cutting edge campaigns in South Australia this Federal Election year.

South Australia is one of Australia’s leaders in embracing solar and renewable energy. In this newly created role you’ll recruit, train and develop a network of active volunteers in targeted areas who will make sure that solar and renewable energy is the #1 issue in South Australia in 2016.

You’ll report to the Director of Campaigns and Organising and be part of a creative, skilled, diverse and collaborative team that loves a people-powered win.

You’ll work with the National Organising team to support our South Australian teams and you’ll build strong local relationships with environmental organisations, the solar and renewable energy industry, politicians and other stakeholders.

You’ve got demonstrated experience delivering high-impact campaign tactics - online and in communities - on time and within set budgets. You’re deeply committed to community organising and have demonstrated experience in delivering organising goals through campaigns.

Clean energy is climbing higher on the national agenda and 2016 is shaping up to be a hard-fought year for renewables. With rapidly shifting strategic needs and strong community interest and engagement, this role is a unique opportunity to make a lasting contribution to Australia's renewable energy future. If you’re passionate about people power and making a clean energy future a reality for Australia, we want to hear from you.
