The Australian Marine Conservation Society (AMCS) has been the voice for and defender of Australia’s oceans and marine life for over 55 years. With more than 300,000 supporters around the country, we are one of Australia’s most influential environmental charities. As a proudly independent conservation organisation, AMCS achieves change by building and mobilising widespread support from the community for solutions to the big problems facing Australia’s oceans.
As part of an ambitious new corporate transparency project by AMCS and Boomerang Alliance, this position will be responsible for conducting an independent audit of plastic packaging in the Australian supermarket sector, producing reports and policy advice on effective plastic reduction interventions.
Using your experience in research and investigation, you will create and implement an audit framework, using a combination of market research, surveys and consumer audits. You will work with AMCS and Boomerang Alliance staff, partner organisations and community stakeholders to produce reports and policy advice on effective plastic reduction interventions.
The Research & Policy Officer will work closely with a new part-time Outreach Officer (Supermarket Plastics), to support the delivery of the audit.
These roles may be combined as a single full-time rule for experienced applicants who meet the requirements of both positions.
