Background

ACCR challenges companies to respond to the most important issues of our time, like climate change and human rights, and in how they treat all of their stakeholders, including workers and First Nations communities. We are compelled by the importance and urgency of these matters, and use all the tools available to shareholders to make concerns known to companies, to seek fast and effective change. We were founded as a non-profit organisation in 2012, and since that time we have promoted ethical investment and assisted investors through education, research, collaboration, engagement and advocacy. As shareholders ourselves, we pursue various avenues of shareholder advocacy, including through the filing of shareholder resolutions, on issues relating to climate, social impacts and governance. We are a member of both the UN Principles for Responsible Investment (UNPRI) and the Responsible Investment Association of Australasia (RIAA).

ACCR has a dynamic team of over 20 driven and experienced staff. Thanks to a heightened awareness of the importance of our work, and the urgency of the issues - like climate change - that we work on, we are growing rapidly. This is a new position based within our Operations Team to provide high quality administrative, logistical and technology support across the organisation. The IT aspects of the role may be increased depending on the aptitude of the position holder, and other duties have the potential to become more advanced once initial responsibilities have been successfully demonstrated.

This role will be for an initial one year contract, starting ASAP, with the potential for extension subject to funding.
