About you:

You are an innovative and strategic thinker who is determined to achieve change on climate policy. You have delivered digital communications that have been demonstrated to engage your audience and inspire them to take action, and you know how communications fit within a broader theory of change.

You are energised by working in the fast-paced world of campaigning and media engagement, and have the skills and experience to deal with the complexity of modern social change campaigning and find the right message to make change happen.

You enjoy collaborating with others, and you believe in working within the environment movement to achieve common goals. You have the confidence to back your decisions, and the wisdom to incorporate the insights of your team.

The Role

The Climate Campaigner will craft QCC’s campaign strategies and activities, including developing messages to accelerate Queensland’s transition away from polluting coal and gas and towards 100% clean renewable energy, and to build people power to demand stronger State and Federal action to address climate change.

You will play a lead role in developing and deploying strategies and tactics that resonate with target audiences. You will find innovative ways to support the rapid growth of campaign channels while creating new campaign assets, and making sure we reach and mobilise the most people possible to have the biggest impact.

• Develop and maintain networks and relationships with relevant stakeholders, partners and allies
• Represent QCC on climate to external public, media, political and business audiences as required.
• Produce communications materials for a variety of campaign tactics online and in the world
• Provide reports on campaign strategy, approach, plans and progress

REQUIRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

• At least two years’ experience delivering campaigns that have helped to achieve real world change
• Demonstrated experience developing and implementing campaign strategies and tactics, with proven ability to deliver effective campaign actions and utilise digital tools
• Excellent interpersonal, written and visual communications skills, including design skills
