What a Typical Week Looks Like
(Spoiler, it's rarely typical)
Mondays might kick off with a creative team brainstorming session to fine tune our next standout campaign concept. From there, you could be diving into performance data to spot what's working (and what's not) or helping amplify our Advocacy priorities across digital platforms. As the week rolls on, you'll be advising the team on best practice and smart digital strategies. Whether it's fine-tuning content for our website, social channels, or eDMs, you'll help ensure everything we publish hits the mark. There'll be moments of troubleshooting too, such as tweaking the website, smoothing out little hiccups in the CMS or CRM, and keeping things humming behind the scenes. No two days are the same, and that's part of the fun. Each week brings fresh stories, new challenges, and plenty of room to experiment and innovate.
Who you will be working with
As part of our highly engaged Advocacy team, this role sits within Marketing and offers plenty of team collaboration, as well as autonomy. You'll thrive in a collaborative and inclusive marketing environment and work closely with the Marketing, Comms and Events team, as well as our in-house Design Lead, to enhance and amplify existing content, bringing your ideas to life while ensuring it hits the mark with our online audiences. You'll also liaise with other WALGA portfolios to provide expert advice on digital marketing briefs, collaborate on campaigns, and generally ensure initiatives are firing on all cylinders, in support of WALGA's five-year strategic plan. Joining a team of forward-thinkers who are as passionate about digital innovation as you are, your ideas will help shape the way WALGA connects with Local Governments and the communities they serve.
