Remote / Work from Home
Women’s Environmental Leadership Australia (WELA) is empowering, supporting, funding and diversifying women’s and gender diverse leadership for our environment and climate, in order to transform Australia’s response to these crises.
Overwhelmingly, our existing political, business and societal leadership has failed to adequately address the climate and environmental crises at hand. It’s time for a leadership change. Put simply, we will not get out of this by relying on the same leadership that got us into it. The evidence is clear - more women in decision making roles equals better environmental outcomes. We need more of it.
Do you want to contribute to saving the environment, solving climate change, and taking on the patriarchy?
This is an exciting opportunity to join a small, growing, and passionate team taking on some big challenges - and doing it with a good sense of fun and personal sustainability.
We offer:
We’re a small and empowering team, with a big vision for change. We work hard, but have a healthy commitment to work/life balance, and enable the flexibility to support this. We support one another to grow, develop, and bring joy and creativity to our work each day.
In this exciting new role, you will be responsible for coordinating and delivering a range of online and in-person events and managing communications that engage and inspire the WELA community. As a key member of a small and supportive team, you’ll take initiative in managing project timelines, coordinating logistics, and developing content to help drive WELA’s mission forward.
You will work closely with our team to ensure events run smoothly, from ideation to execution, while also creating and promoting engaging content across WELA’s social media, website, email campaigns, and newsletters. Your ability to collaborate effectively with internal and external stakeholders will be crucial as you help to amplify WELA’s message.
You’ll work directly with the Engagement and Community Manager, Communications Manager, and Fundraising Stewardship Manager. The WELA team embodies a vibrant and caring energy where we know what we’re doing, but we certainly don’t have all the answers. Learning, reflecting, and balancing risks informs our passion and drive.
You’re passionate about our environment, and the important role of women’s leadership in creating a genuinely sustainable future in which people and the planet thrive.
You are an organised, proactive, and self-motivated individual with a strong ability to manage multiple tasks and deadlines while maintaining attention to detail. With experience in coordinating projects, you’re able to organise resources, timelines, and deliverables to ensure successful execution.
Working independently comes naturally to you, and you thrive when taking initiative and managing projects with minimal supervision. You’re a self-starter who communicates clearly and effectively, both in writing and verbally, ensuring that team members are well-informed and tasks stay on track to meet goals.
Collaboration is one of your strengths, and you enjoy building positive relationships with internal teams and external stakeholders alike. You’re personable and have a natural ability to connect with others, building rapport easily and fostering positive relationships with colleagues and partners.
As a small team, we support each other in our work so you’ll regularly be expected to jump in and help out wherever needed. Likewise, you can count on the support of the team however you need it.
