Marketing Administrator

RISING

RISING is a surge of art, music and ceremony in the heart of Melbourne.

Taking the place of the Melbourne International Arts Festival and White Night Melbourne, RISING is a major cultural event for the Asia Pacific Region created by a diverse team of local, national and international artists and curators.

RISING will begin on the evening of the total lunar eclipse in May 2021. Interlocking circles of experience and connection will radiate through the night, as the city re-synchronises and is re-energised with public art, performance and music spanning the emerging and iconic, the epic and intimate.

The inaugural festival will take place 26 May – 6 June 2021.

THE ROLE

We are looking for an arts-loving, ambitious and adaptable marketing administrator to support the Brand and Commercial team in delivering content and engagement activities. 

RISING has an ambitious festival program and always-on content strategy with varying creative requirements spanning artist and brand collaborations, video and broadcast, photography, podcasts, long form writing, eDMs and more. Working within the Brand and Commercial team you’ll assist the Marketing Director and Head of Content and Engagement with filing and administration, planning and maintaining timelines and supporting our in-house creatives and external agencies to deliver an excellent festival marketing campaign.

You are a planner with meticulous attention to detail – the kind of person who proofreads a text three times before sending. You feel confident in a sprawling spreadsheet, a well-crafted timeline fills you with inner peace, and you don’t flinch when tasked with a project you haven’t undertaken before. You’re fluent in project management tools and understand how to shape them into useful sources of truth, not collecting dust with the team.

You’re a stickler for accuracy with high standards and sound judgement, but you also recognise you work with human beings, so you’re flexible, open and collaborative – particularly when it comes to competing priorities. You’ll write detailed design briefs as needed and traffic content briefs from internal stakeholders for the rest of the content team, managing expectations on delivery. You have excellent notetaking skills and a good communicator, who follows up loose ends and never assumes – you always reconfirm details and ask clarifying questions.

You are able to adapt to a fluctuating workload and a dynamic, demanding work environment. No one holds you to a higher standard than yourself – you believe in personal accountability and understand delegations of authority. You’re comfortable and experienced in handling confidential and sensitive information.

In a nutshell: you have the people and admin skills of an account manager – clients love you, and the time management trickery and production deadline juggling of an integrated creative producer – creative teams request you.
