We’re looking for a passionate and experienced digital campaigner for a unique opportunity to assist with running a campaign to increase civic participation within the Australian Muslim community, through a get-out-to-vote campaign in the lead to the 2019 federal elections.

This isn’t a regular campaigns role, the Australian Muslim community has not been organised for political purposes before and in fact, according to preliminary research and anecdotal evidence a large number of Muslims in the country are not enrolled to vote and a great number of those who are enrolled to vote do not consistently exercise this right. This is due to a number of factors including a lack of awareness of the political system and the importance of civic participation, a sense of disenfranchisement brought upon by the barrage of attacks and persistent portrayal of Australian Muslims in the media as not belonging to Australia, and general apathy and skepticism about the potential for change.

The role is suitable to a self-motivated individual who’s flexible and open to working irregular hours, often on weekends and afterhours for the duration of the campaign.

The successful candidate will be responsible for the implementation of six key components of our Get Out to Vote campaign, with a particular focus on some of the most marginal federal seats.

These key elements include:

1. Develop and run a digital campaign
2. Manage the online supporter engagement program
3. Materials coordination
4. Rapid response campaigns
5. Data management and reporting
6. Support the Campaign Manager.
