About Climate 200

Climate 200 helps level the playing field for independent community campaigns committed to science-based climate action, restoring integrity to politics, and gender equality. Climate 200 has supported the election of over a dozen community independents since 2019 at state and federal levels, and has helped turn a raft of seats marginal — putting climate, integrity and gender equality front and centre of politics.

Climate 200 has an even bigger vision for the next Federal Election, which will require our small, high-performing team to achieve significant fundraising, capacity-building and strategic communications goals.

• Project managing and executing strategies to drive Climate 200’s digital engagement, list growth and digital fundraising.
• Working directly with the Head of Digital Engagement to hit ambitious team list growth, engagement and crowdfunding targets.
• Drafting hard-hitting, engaging copy across a range of channels including email, web, and digital advertising.
• Collaborating with specialists such as designers, developers and videographers to deliver high quality multi-media content that supports engagement and fundraising objectives.
• Pitching, refining and executing out-of-the box ideas to motivate and engage with our supporters.

• Contributing to a team culture of innovation, creativity and testing.
• Monitoring the media to identify key engagement and fundraising opportunities for Climate 200.
