Join ACRE, a globally recognised social enterprise working to strengthen rural communities, and help us tell meaningful stories that drive real impact.

We’re looking for a Marketing Coordinator to bring our ACRE brands to life across digital, print and event channels. In this dynamic role, you’ll be hands-on shaping how we communicate—creating content, supporting campaigns and events, and amplifying our impact.

About ACRE

Australian Centre for Rural Entrepreneurship (ACRE) is a globally recognised social enterprise with a purpose to drive the renewal of Australia’s rural communities so that future generations may thrive.

We do this through championing and embedding entrepreneurship to rejuvenate rural communities through building economic, social and cultural wellbeing. We combine local experience with global knowhow through international partnerships with world leading organisations.

About the Role

As our Marketing Coordinator, you will play a key role in delivering engaging, on-brand communications that grow ACRE’s reach and influence. Working within the Brand, Impact and Partnerships team, you’ll translate strategy into action—producing content, coordinating campaigns and supporting events.

This is a collaborative environment where ideas are welcomed, ownership is encouraged, and your work will make a visible difference.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Deliver on strategic marketing objectives in collaboration with the Marketing Director and broader team
• Create and manage engaging, impact-driven content across social media, website, email, PR and digital channels
• Develop a consistent cadence of communications that further ACRE’s positioning and delivers across audiences
• Manage ACRE’s digital and social channels, using data-driven insights to optimise performance and integrate with CRM platforms to improve efficiency, engagement and growth
• Coordinate marketing campaigns, cross-team initiatives, and key projects
• Plan and deliver events (both in-person and digital), including sponsorships and partnership activations
• Identify and pursue strategically aligned opportunities to grow ACRE’s brand and impact
• Create compelling impact stories, case studies and branded collateral
• Maintain brand guidelines and ensure consistent voice and visual identity
• Track, analyse and report on marketing performance and impact
• Build and manage strong relationships with internal teams, partners and stakeholders
• Apply a project management approach to campaigns, events and key initiatives

A Day in This Role Might Include:

• Scheduling social content and responding to a trending opportunity
• Interviewing a program participant and turning their story into a case study
• Supporting an upcoming event or partnership activation
• Reviewing analytics and identifying what’s working (and what’s not)

About You

You’re a proactive, creative communicator who thrives in a purpose driven, collaborative environment.

You will bring:

• A degree in marketing, communications, or equivalent experience
• Strong digital marketing capability, including social media management, email marketing and website management
• Excellent writing and storytelling skills, with strong attention to detail
• Ability to maintain consistent brand voice, tone and visual identity
• Proven ability to multitask, prioritise and manage competing demands
• Experience coordinating campaigns, events or promotional activities
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills to engage diverse stakeholders
• Confidence working both independently and collaboratively
• Analytical mindset with experience using data to improve engagement
• Experience with CRM systems, CMS platforms and creative/design tools (advantageous)
• Event management experience across physical and digital formats (advantageous)
• Experience leading or contributing to cross-functional projects or campaigns
• Knowledge of, or experience in, the social enterprise sector (advantageous)
• Alignment with ACRE’s values and passion for social impact (essential)

Why Join ACRE?

• Be part of a social enterprise creating meaningful change in rural communities
• Work in a collaborative, values-driven team
• Diverse work across campaigns, content and events—no two weeks are the same
• Opportunity to grow your marketing capability and shape your role
• Flexible hybrid working arrangement (remote + Beechworth-based)
• Contribute to work with visible, tangible impact
• Work from our unique head office at the historic Old Beechworth Gaol

Our Ways of Working

At ACRE, we’re guided by purpose. We’re curious, collaborative and committed to making a difference.

We are a close-knit team that values initiative, creativity and adaptability. Things move quickly here—so you’ll be someone who can embrace ambiguity, take ownership, and keep momentum while staying focused on impact.
