Remote / Work from Home
The Fair Agenda movement is supported by a small but mighty staff team who support our 41,000 members to mobilise for a gender equitable and just future.
We are seeking an enthusiastic and motivated change maker to join our team as a digital campaigner. They will play a critical role in campaigning in a nimble and impact-focused organisation.
The successful applicant will have the opportunity to be involved in driving campaigns, mobilising tens of thousands of Australians for gender justice and persuading political, corporate and community decision makers to implement policies for a more fair, gender equal and safe future. We anticipate that they will work across a range of issues, including: addressing gender-based violence, improving access to reproductive healthcare, fighting for economic security and our agency over our lives and bodies.
We are seeking expression of interest in a fixed-term 12 month role, which will be made available on a 0.8 FTE - full time basis.
Fair Agenda’s staff team supports our 41,000 members to mobilise on issues of gender justice when and where it can have the most impact.
We drive strategic campaigns that keep a spotlight on problems that need solving, and build momentum behind expert-backed solutions. We do this by leveraging online, social and media campaigning tactics to pressure decision-makers to change the policies that shape our lives.
We combine the people-power of our 41,000 strong movement with that of policy experts, service providers, survivors and other advocates to win change.
So far our movement has helped win changes that benefit more than a million women, including:
Securing commitments from Education Ministers to address sexual violence in universities by mandating national oversight, monitoring, transparency and accountability. This includes creating a National Student Ombudsman.
Improving respectful relationships and sexuality education, including the removal of the ‘milkshake consent’ video from government resources.
Securing legislative reforms to decriminalise abortion and provide for safe, legal and compassionate access to abortion care in Queensland, NSW and South Australia.
Blocking cuts to working parents’ time to care for their newborns that would have hurt 79,000 working families a year,
Working with partner organisations and survivor advocates to help stop $34 million of scheduled cuts to Community legal Centres, which would have hurt tens of thousands of women affected by family violence.
Our organisation’s values are:
We are impact focused,
We adopt a feminist approach – that means we challenge patriarchal power structures and norms, recognise that oppressions intersect and interact; and our approach to challenging them must account for this; and working with integrity and being responsible in our use of power
We are bold and strategic, building a force to be reckoned with
We are collaborative
We value our people
We’re constantly evolving our work.
Fair Agenda’s feminism is inclusive – and we explicitly support the inclusion of trans and gender diverse people in our vision of a gender equitable future, and in our movement.
We know that representation is a cornerstone of justice. We seek to build a team that draws from a range of lived experiences in challenging patriarchy and the intersecting and compounding oppressions that shape its impacts.
We expect all team members to take responsibility for co-creating a safe and equitable team environment, and we invest in training and advice from experts to ensure our board and staff team are continually improving and evolving our approach to challenging systemic oppression.
We’d love to hear from people who:
The Campaigner will have the opportunity to:
Other ad hoc activities as discussed with the Executive Director.
As a Campaign Manager your week might involve things like:
There are no formal education requirements for roles on the Fair Agenda team – but we anticipate a successful applicant for Campaigner will draw from previous experience advocating for social change.
Required:
Any of these additional skills and experiences would also be considered valuable:
Please note: Fair Agenda believes in investing in the capacity of our team; and recognises the importance of building a team with strong potential as well as experience; so we encourage those who don’t yet have every skill, or strong experience in every area to still submit an application for consideration.
We anticipate that there will be significant opportunity for growth in this role, and don’t require applicants to already be able to perform all the relevant components of the role before applying.
Any successful applicant will have the opportunity for significant internal professional development; including participating in strategy and planning meetings for campaigns, as well as one-on-one meetings with the Executive Director about their work and growth plan. The Campaigner would also receive coaching and mentoring support from colleagues.
The work will commence from a negotiable start date in November.
The role can be available at 0.8 FTE - full time basis (loading will be finalised in discussion with the successful applicant).
There is a preference for the successful applicant to be located in a major city on the east coast, but applications from people willing to work remotely from other locations will also be considered.
We note that Fair Agenda recognises that issues of gender inequality disproportionately affect people who are also marginalised for other reasons – including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, people of colour, people from working class backgrounds, and LGBTQI people. We encourage people who are members of these and other marginalised communities to submit an application.
