The Team

The Opportunity

As the Editorial & Communications Manager you will implement and develop the organisation’s multi-channel external communications strategies. This includes oversight of efficient business processes to ensure all ClimateWorks communications activities are audience-relevant and influential, and evaluated for quality and impact. You will build communications capacity throughout ClimateWorks’ program areas – including our International & Country Context and Systems Change teams – and amplify our work, partnerships and thought-leadership towards the goal of achieving net zero emissions for Australia, Southeast Asia and the Pacific. You will achieve this through fostering a proactive team culture with a focus on storytelling, framing ClimateWorks’ work for stakeholders in government, business, industry and media.

Success will be that ClimateWorks staff are confidently communicating with impact, using a range of tools to engage with target audiences, and strategically contributing to the acceleration of climate action in the region.

As a resilient and ‘learning agile’ person you’re comfortable in a fluid business environment where rapid change is the norm. You’re excited by the idea of working in an entrepreneurial culture and on pioneer research topics in support of the climate solutions mission of our organisation. Politically savvy with a global perspective, you’re highly attuned to the nuances and impact of global legislative, regulatory and policy issues.

An excellent collaborator, you understand that your greatest impact can be in helping to interpret and influence decisions and strategy. As a result, your skills are not only building strong internal relationships, but capacity building internal staff talent in a way that broadens key skill sets and builds organisational capability.

If this sounds like a position that suits your current career focus we look forward to hearing from you.

All staff at ClimateWorks Australia play a significant part in continuing to drive a positive culture across the business, which is underpinned by our focus on climate change and environmental impact.

Key responsibility

Contribute to a positive culture at ClimateWorks Australia through collaboration, innovative problem solving and maintaining a focus on the overarching strategy of ClimateWorks Australia to achieve a fivefold increase in climate change action, worldwide by 2030.
