Who is the ACF?

When it comes to our environment, the Australian Conservation Foundation has been leading the way in protecting our living world for over half a century.

We are the national environment organisation committed to caring for Australia’s unique and beautiful wildlife and natural world. We’re inclusive, non-partisan and funded by the Australian community.

Whether it’s advocating for the Great Barrier Reef, koalas snoozing in big old trees or for strong climate action, our dedicated community of more than half a million people are constantly working to create a world where forests, rivers, people, and wildlife thrive.

What’s the gig?

The Marketing Communications Lead sits in the Marketing Team and is responsible for leading key marketing and communication moments to amplify ACF’s work in protecting nature and solving the climate crisis and bring the brand to life in compelling ways.

The role leads the strategic planning of key marketing campaigns and works closely with the Marketing Manager, Story Impact Lead and Digital Communications Producer to develop and execute marketing strategies that drive brand awareness and achieve campaign objectives and create content to engage new and existing audiences.

About you!

You know the power of strategic marketing and know that by applying good marketing practise can lead to change and action across our nature and climate campaigns.

You are a strategic thinker, confident and capable to take the lead on projects, working alongside teams outside of marketing and the wider engagement directorate to achieve your project specific goals.

You have experience leading brand campaigns and ensuring consistency in tone of voice and creative output.

You are an outstanding copy writer, with an understanding of messages that cut through and a keen eye for design.

You are confident across many different communications channels, and know the strength and weaknesses of each, and can therefore make quick decisions on which approach will be best for any given communications moment.

You have a great communication style that gets stakeholders on side and allows you to assist in the development of more junior members of the department.

Knowledge and experience of climate and/or environment messages and issues is a bonus.

Why work with us?

You’ll do important work with one of Australia’s most impactful organisations, and with our world-class organisational culture and great team, we guarantee you’ll have fun along the way.
