State Director
vor 1 Monat
The Greens (WA) are founded upon four pillars: ecological sustainability, grassroots democracy, social justice and peace and non-violence. Over the last thirty years, The Greens have become the third force in Australian politics, with Greens elected at every level of Government across the country.
The party is now hiring a State Director, responsible for managing a staff team and implementing our election campaign goals
Our staff team enjoys flexible working hours and work-from-home arrangements; professional development opportunities; menstrual, miscarriage, and menopause leave; 12% superannuation, and pay increases in line with CPI.
The Greens (WA) are an equal opportunity employer, and we strongly encourage diverse applicants and those with unique life experience to apply. We encourage you to submit an application if you feel your experience is transferable, even if you don’t meet all selection criteria.
About the Role
The State Director is the most senior staff member of the Greens (WA). The role provides support and advice for the party’s decision making bodies, and will ensure the implementation of party decisions and strategic goals. Collaboration with volunteers, staff, MPs, candidates and the local community is key to this role.
The State Director must work effectively with people from diverse backgrounds — this includes in the management of staff and volunteers, and in the promotion of a positive and welcoming party culture. This role manages the day-to-day operations of the party and its resources in accordance with legal obligations, agreed strategies and policies, with some support from other staff and volunteers.
To succeed in this role, you’ll need to be a skilled communicator and campaign strategist, with the ability to problem solve, lead a team, and work effectively within the party’s structures. The party’s primary decision making process is consensus-based, so you must be skilled at working consultatively, and facilitating effective, collaborative work at many levels.
This role will involve some evening and weekend work — so effective time-management, delegation and feedback skills are essential. This job is best suited to someone passionate about people power, and building successful grassroots campaigns
