Desired skills and experience:

With at least 4 to 5 years of experience in digital marketing and in social media content execution roles, you will ideally have some prior exposure to politics, and/or social issues-based campaigns and organisations; or an interest in these issues with plenty of transferable skills from a more commercial/corporate career to date. Above all, you are a digital native and specialist, comfortable working across most dominant digital platforms and creating engaging content. You are passionate about making great content that delivers strategic outcomes for clients, such as high engagement and conversions online, often to attract new members, donors or ‘sign ups’ to our clients and their campaigns. You may have some design or video skills, but at least able to use online tools like Canva. You are used to setting up and planning content in platforms like Loomly and Trello. You will also be inquisitive, understanding how to use analytics and data to measure success against agreed KPIs and determined to constantly evolve content and approaches to improve results. You are confident and comfortable working independently or as part of a team.
