GetUp is looking for a Climate Justice Campaign Director to lead the organisation’s climate and environmental justice campaigns work and team.
SCHADS Classification Level 8, salary range $103,303.20 - $107,516.76 per annum (pro-rata) + superannuation, determined by relevant experience and qualifications.
This is a permanent full time contract, ideally based in Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane. However, we are open to flexible arrangements for the right candidate.
At GetUp, we know our capacity to drive progressive change is increased when our team has a diversity of backgrounds and experience - and especially comes from a background of lived experience on the issues we work on.
The GetUp movement is powered by the values and hopes of one million members, movement partners and a central team of expert strategists. Together, we do what it takes, with fierce integrity, to make extraordinary impact.
We focus our campaigns on the areas our members care about most in the fields of Environmental Justice, Human Rights, Economic Fairness, First Nations Justice and Democratic Integrity. From making sure hundreds of thousands of people are able to vote in elections, to successfully stopping major projects threatening the Great Barrier Reef, or fighting against an offshore regime of detention and deterrence of people seeking asylum – we have a decade-long history of mobilising a movement to win.
GetUp’s Climate Justice Team of talented campaigners lead the organisation’s work defending people and the planet from the climate crisis and environmental damage. The team prides itself on deep strategic thinking as well as the ability to seize crucial moments when taking immediate action can make a massive difference. Recognising that affected communities are at the heart of our work, we are always looking for ways to apply a strong rights and social justice lens to our campaigns.
Our days are filled with analysing the political state of play, developing long-term and rapid-fire strategy, engaging with politicians, media and affected communities, spotting the right moment to intervene, running impactful tactics including everything from protests to undercover investigations, writing hard-hitting copy, and coming up with creative ways to give our members the best chance for impact.
If even a couple of these criteria speak to you, you could be the perfect person for the job. Formal education, qualifications and extensive experience matter less to us than excellence, initiative and drive.
Applications will be processed on an ongoing basis. Please apply ASAP.
