About the organisation

What 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. Working together, we have an extraordinary impact.

We focus our campaigns on the areas our members care about most in the fields of Environmental Justice, Human Rights, Economic Fairness 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, or securing billions of dollars in new funding for mental health – we have a decade-long history of taking on powerful interests, and winning.

Who is the Organising Team 

The GetUp Organising Team works across Australia to build and wield the people power to radically redefine what is politically possible in Australia. Together, we develop and support a network of hundreds of volunteers, mobilising members and voters to change public opinion and target political & corporate decision-makers across the country.

Right now, our focus is on building an unstoppable movement of people working to create millions of jobs and a safe climate future for us all. This is a huge mission that is rewarding, demanding, challenging and creative. Our team is an open and collaborative crew who have clear goals, are accountable to each other and work in ways that foster creativity, honesty, learning and innovation.

  • Participating in a strong team culture of experimentation, innovation, evaluation and learning;
  • Working within the organising team to execute its strategy and meet its goals;
  • Supervising other staff and/or volunteers as required.

 

You will be someone who is/has:

  • Passionate about creating progressive change, especially building people power to help drive a just transition to address climate change;
  • Has strong digital skills and a willingness to learn new technologies, and who thrives in a fast-paced environment;
  • Has excellent interpersonal skills and cares deeply about supporting others to step up into leadership;

  • Experience working with organising technology to engage people at scale – eg. calling and door-knocking technology, P2P texting software, NationBuilder;

 

If 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.
