Friends of the Earth is looking for a Database Administration Officer to work alongside our Database Coordinator and maintain our NationBuilder database and the functionality of our digital campaign asset used by our campaigners to advance social and environmental justice issues. If you love data and drilling into the backend detail then this role may be for you.

Role Overview

Title: Database Administration Officer (backfill role)

Hours: 3 days/ 24 hours per week (0.6FTE)

Location: 312 Smith Street, Collingwood, Victoria

Contract: 12 months - fixed term

Salary: $88,712 per annum, pro rata, plus superannuation and entitlements.

We believe that climate change disproportionately hurts the most marginalised people in society, including First Nations people, people of colour, people from working-class backgrounds, women and LGBTQIA+ people. We believe that these communities must be centred in the work we do. Hence, we strongly encourage applications from people with these identities or who are members of other marginalised communities.
