ABOUT YOU

You’re a creative, capable communicator who loves bringing stories to life online. You understand how content works across different platforms and you’re excited by the challenge of creating posts, videos and campaigns that actually make people feel something and take action.

You’re confident working independently, comfortable making decisions, and proactive about getting things done. You don’t need constant direction - you see what needs doing and jump in. At the same time, you enjoy collaborating with others and contributing ideas as part of a small, purpose-driven team.

You care about the planet (especially the ocean) and believe in the power of positive action. You want to use your skills to make a genuine difference through your work.
