about the opportunity

Writer/Researcher

This role involves researching information (including via desktop research, interviews, surveys) on a wide range of topics and producing accessible written content suited to a range of different mediums (e.g. web, print, social, flyers, internal guidance documents etc) that effectively connects with a range of audiences, often but not always farmers.

Candidates should be comfortable engaging directly with farmers, and while a background in research is not required, candidates do need to be able to digest complex or technical information and synthesise this into simple, clear, accessible written materials.

This role is flexible in terms of hours, with a minimum of 3 days per week. The role is fully remote, with the option to work from anywhere within Australia. Working rights in Australia are required.
