The Media Manager leads our proactive and reactive communications with media outlets, builds relationships with journalists and other external media producers, develops and delivers communications strategies designed to help our campaigns win and our organisation’s stature increase. This role is based in Australia but will be supporting our work globally and partnering with communications networks overseas, particularly in Asia.
Since 2013, Market Forces has been working to redirect finance away from activities that harm the environment and into those that protect and enhance it. We focus on the role that banks, superannuation funds and other investors, insurance companies and governments play in financing environmentally risky and damaging activities. We strongly focus on climate change and the essential energy revolution the world needs to undertake if we are to secure a stable long-term climate. Our team delivers and supports campaigns on the most egregious examples of fossil fuel polluters, extending that support to partners in Asia and beyond, wherever we can make the best interventions to shift finance away from dirty fossil fuels.
You know media. You know how the industry of journalism works and the factors changing and influencing it. You know how organisations and companies need to increasingly produce media of their own. You can help advocates identify audiences that matter to their campaigns, and communicate in a way that motivates and engages them. You love the craft of communications and the power of effective content, no matter what format. And you love supporting others to be better and more effective communicators.
Maybe you’ve got a background in journalism, or elsewhere in the media industry. Maybe you’ve worked in communications for a company or organisation. Whatever the case, you’re coming into this role with runs on the board and a desire to take your experience and use it to help Market Forces win its campaigns to protect the environment.
Ideally you’ll have experience broader than Australia but whatever the case you’ll have a work history that is diverse and multi-faceted. Also, you’ll have some experience managing and supporting people and teams.
