About Our Watch

Our Watch is a national leader in the primary prevention of violence against women and their children.

Our vision is an Australia where women and their children live free from all forms of violence. Our role is to stop violence before it starts. We work to embed gender equality and prevent violence where Australians live, learn, work and socialise.

About the role

Love translating complicated messaging into clear call to actions?

Inspired by the national movement to end gender inequality?

Welcome to your new dream job!

Using evidence-based research to drive behaviour change across a range of audiences at varying levels of understanding and engagement, you’ll take ownership of innovative campaigns to end violence against women throughout Australia. For good.

From communicating consent via disruptive social content, to developing Cannes Lions nominated bystander campaigns, as Campaigns Manager for Our Watch, you’ll never have a dull day.

Drawing on your excellent stakeholder and project management skills, backed by your marketing and campaigns expertise, this is a career defining role, as Our Watch embarks on a new phase of campaigns over the next five years, with record funding from the federal government.

About you

• Marrying your innate creativity with your analytical prowess, you will thrive on the challenge of translating complicated messaging into clear call to actions via thought-provoking, behaviour change campaigns
• Values-driven by nature, you will be proud to put your unique skills and attributes to use for this important cause, testing and developing new ways of challenging age-old attitudes and beliefs – all backed by solid evidence and research
• You love problem solving, and bring creativity to everything you do – your campaigns, your social content, and your ways of working
• You love leading change and managing a range of relationships at all levels, from leading your team, to nurturing stakeholders such as partners and funders
• While not necessarily from the prevention sector, you understand Our Watch’s vision and mission, and you can see how this will motivate you to help grow Our Watch’s reach, awareness and engagement.
