About the position

Do you want to contribute to saving the environment, solving climate change and taking on the patriarchy?

This is an exciting opportunity to join a small, growing and passionate team taking on some big challenges - and doing it with a good sense of fun and personal sustainability.

Women’s Environmental Leadership Australia (WELA) is empowering, supporting and funding women’s leadership for our environment and climate action, to transform Australia’s response to our environmental and climate crises.

We’re looking for an experienced Communications Manager to play a crucial role in the growth and success of this important work.

You’ll be responsible for building the profile of WELA and of women’s leadership for our environment by leading our external communications. Your responsibilities will extend across supporter and alumni communications; our social media and website; media; and fundraising communications, including developing compelling messaging and content. You’ll provide expert guidance and recommendations to the organisation, develop and deliver our communications strategies, and monitor and evaluate our progress towards the organisation’s communications goals. You’ll be supported and empowered to prioritise this work with a clear organisational strategy and support from the Strategic Director.

You’ll join a small but growing team, including the Strategic Director, Administrator, the Leadership Programs Producer, Community Builder, our Program facilitators and an active Board. We embody a vibrant and caring energy where we know what we’re doing, but we certainly don’t have all the answers. Learning, reflecting and balancing risks informs our passion and drive.
