Right Now is looking for an innovative and creative content marketer to grow our brand, readership and online presence.

This is an exciting opportunity to develop your skills in content production, digital marketing and brand strategy, in a fun and supportive environment. We are looking for someone who can help us take our media organisation to the next level and reach more Australian readers than ever before.

Right Now aims to inform and inspire Australians about human rights, social justice and equality. We are run by a small group of dedicated volunteers who want to make a difference.

Reporting to the Editor in Chief, you will develop and execute our brand and marketing strategy across a range of channels including: organic social media, email, website and SEO, paid advertising, and community engagement.

This is a volunteer role. We want to find someone who can volunteer around 3-5 hours a week, which can be spread flexibly across the week.

  • Grow our mailing list and support the Editor in Chief with sending regular e-news
  • Analyse performance and report back to the Editor in Chief and General Manager on key performance indicators
  • Present to key stakeholders, including the Right Now board

Core skills:

  • A social media native who knows the latest trends and how to create content that audiences love to engage with
  • Experience with graphic design and video production, including using Canva, CapCut, Adobe Suite, Premiere Pro (or an enthusiasm to learn!)
