Job description
- Climate 200 is expanding our newly formed Digital Engagement Team ahead of the next Federal election.
- The Digital Engagement Team is responsible for growing Climate 200’s online community and inspiring them to take action during the election campaign.

About Climate 200
Climate 200 helps level the playing field for independent community campaigns committed to science-based climate action, restoring integrity to politics, and gender equality. Climate 200 has supported the election of over a dozen community independents since 2019 at state and federal levels, and has helped turn a raft of seats marginal — putting climate, integrity and gender equality front and centre of politics.
Climate 200 has an even bigger vision for the next Federal Election, which will require our small, high-performing team to achieve significant fundraising, capacity-building and strategic communications goals.

The key responsibilities of this role include:
- Drafting copy across a range of channels including email, web, and digital advertising.
- Working with designers, developers and videographers to create high quality multi-media content that supports engagement and fundraising objectives.
- Executing high-quality digital journeys to enhance our supporters’ experience.
- Working with our CRM and other backend tools.
- Monitoring the media to identify key engagement and fundraising opportunities for Climate 200.
- Contributing creative and outside-the-box ideas that will help drive Climate 200’s digital engagement and fundraising.
- Supporting the Climate 200 team as needed across a range of functions such as events.
