Greenpeace is an independent campaigning organisation, which uses peaceful, creative confrontation to expose global environmental problems, and develop solutions for a green and peaceful future.

THE TEAM

Our Creative Confrontation team sits in the Program department, which also includes our Campaigners, Communications experts, and Research and Investigations team. Comprising a two person team with the Head of Creative Confrontation, and working closely with the Volunteer and Activist Coordinator, the Creative Confrontation team organises the strategic actions that supersize our campaign impact! Whether it's stopping a huge new dangerous coal mine, taking the fight of the Pacific to the world's biggest stages, or pushing huge corporations to go 100% renewable, you'll be working on campaigns we believe will make the world safer and more just.

THE ROLE

The Creative Confrontation Coordinator is responsible for the planning, preparation, coordination and implementation of Greenpeace Australia Pacific’s creative confrontation activities to bring down the might of the fossil fuel order standing in the way of a sustainable future, including direct action, direct communication, protest and interventions.

This role will also contribute to expanding the knowledge and expertise of our crew of skilled volunteers who are trained and ready to undertake creative confrontation, including boat and climb volunteers. The Creative Confrontation Coordinator will be a skilled trainer and facilitator working to run non-violent direct action and specialised training for staff, Local Hub Groups and volunteer activists.

This is a 12 month fixed term contract position.
