About the organisation

Organisation Name : GetUp

Who is GetUp

The GetUp movement is powered by the values and hopes of one million members, movement partners and a central team of expert strategists. Together, we combine our collective energies to make extraordinary impact.

We focus our campaigns on the areas our members care about most in the fields of First Nations Justice, Human Rights, Economic Fairness, Climate Justice and Democratic Integrity. From making sure hundreds of thousands of people are able to vote in elections, to successfully stopping major projects threatening the Great Barrier Reef, securing billions of dollars in new funding for mental health or supporting the passage of the Medivac Bill – we have a decade-long history of taking on powerful interests, and winning.

About the role

GetUp is looking for a Campaigner to join our Economic Fairness Team. 

This is a permanent position with a Sydney location preferred.

SCHADS classifications Level 3 – 4 with salary range $59,951.84 – $74,121.84 per annum (pro-rata) + superannuation determined by relevant experience and qualifications.

At GetUp, we know our capacity to drive progressive change is increased when our team has a diversity of backgrounds and experience. We are actively looking for applicants from a diverse range of genders, cultures, language groups, abilities, and experiences to apply.

Who is the Campaigns Team

GetUp’s Campaigns Team of talented campaigners lead the organisation’s work running campaigns that help create a more progressive Australia. The team prides itself on deep strategic thinking as well as the ability to seize crucial moments when taking immediate action can make a massive difference. We recognise that affected communities are at the heart of our work and we are always looking for ways to apply a strong rights and social justice lense to our campaigning. 

Our days are filled with analysing the political state of play, developing long-term and rapid-fire strategy, engaging with politicians, media and affected communities, spotting the right moment to intervene, running impactful tactics including everything from protests to undercover investigations, writing hard-hitting copy, and coming up with creative ways to give our members the best chance for impact.

 

Here are some of the things you might do as a GetUp Campaigner:

  • Drafting high quality campaign content;
  • Administering the website backend;
  • Writing compelling social media content;
  • Reviewing systems for member correspondence;
  • Monitoring and suggesting responses to the latest news and developments;
  • Executing campaign research, planning and evaluation;
  • Working within campaigns teams to execute campaigns and meet their goals;
  • Supervising other staff and/or volunteers as required.

 

You will be someone who has/is:

  • a deeply held commitment to social justice who is passionate about creating progressive change on a wide range of issues;
  • has demonstrated communication skills, adept at thinking through complex issues and communicating them simply and clearly;
  • works independently on a range of tasks and projects and takes initiative doing whatever it takes to get the job done;
  • strong digital skills and a willingness to learn new technologies, and who thrives in a fast-paced startup environment;
  • is a team player who is always bringing off-the-wall, creative ideas to the table; and
  • at least two years professional experience working in an office environment.

 

Bonus points for:

  • Experience in GetUp-style online campaigning; 
  • Experience in crowdfunded fundraising; and
  • Experience working in the media cycle.

If even a couple of these criteria speak to you, you could be the perfect person for the job. Formal education, qualifications and extensive experience matter less to us than excellence, initiative and drive.

Please apply ASAP as we will be considering applicants on a rolling basis.
Please apply through our website and make sure to answer all questions when applying.
