When it comes to our environment, the Australian Conservation Foundation has been leading the way in protecting our living world for over half a century.

We are the national environment organisation committed to caring for Australia’s unique and beautiful wildlife and natural world. We’re inclusive, non-partisan and funded by the Australian community.

Whether it’s advocating for the Great Barrier Reef, koalas snoozing in big old trees or for strong climate action, our dedicated community of over 700,000 supporters are constantly working to create a world where forests, rivers, people, and wildlife thrive.

What’s the gig?

The Social Media Producer is an experienced content creator who has their finger on the pulse when it comes to the latest trends and strategy.

You’ll be joining at one of the busiest and exciting times for the organisation and will be able to play a key role in ACF’s campaign to ensure the next elected Australian Government steps up and takes decisive action to protect nature and fight the climate crisis.

The Social Media Producer films mobile-first content and creates visually appealing infographics and carousels that inform and engage new audiences on issues confronting climate and nature.

Working alongside other content creators in the Media team, the role is responsible for both creative production and tracking and measuring the impact of our content through monthly metric reports.

About you!
