Remuneration: $30 per hour (including compulsory superannuation, tax and casual loading). Think Forward will also consider contractors with their own ABN.
Purpose: Work independently and collaboratively as required to develop an education and communications program on economics, tax and superannuation aimed at young people.

We are a bipartisan lobby group for young Australians. We are a group for young Australians run by young Australians who come from all sides of politics. Our average age is 27 so we have skin in the game. Our 2021 priority is to put intergenerational fairness issues front and centre in Australia’s political debates and include youth perspectives in discussions on the economy, taxation and superannuation.
At Think Forward we don’t provide services to young people nor do we claim to be the experts. We exist to put pressure on governments to make intergenerationally fair choices, drawing on the significant evidence base developed by Australia’s economists, political scientists and young people.
Think Forward is seeking a Communications and Engagement Lead that is passionate about raising financial literacy and awareness for young people and advocating on issues of intergenerational fairness. The Lead position will be responsible for developing and delivering an education and communications program aimed at explaining key issues in Australia’s economy, with a focus on tax and super. This program will support Think Forward’s primarily goal, to establish a parliamentary inquiry into intergenerational fairness (a project being led by our broader team).
The Lead role, supported by the Think Forward Executive will focus on the following five areas over the next 6 months:
This program has been made possible through a grant from the Foundation of Young Australians and Think Forward would like to explore the possibility of leveraging this work as ongoing revenue generation for our advocacy activities.
