Capacity for stakeholder management skills, including the potential to work with senior leaders and stakeholders.
Strategic thinking skills, including the ability to critically analyse and problem-solve.
An understanding of social media as a method of advocacy.
Qualifications: Tertiary qualifications in Economics, Political Science or Social Sciences or currently completing a degree with relevant experience in the social sector in the advocacy and policy area.

You will also bring: Well-developed written communication skills, including the ability to write persuasively for different projects, submissions and campaigns.
Strong work ethic, self-motivation, and an outcomes focused approach.
An innovative, collaborative, and creative approach to work.
A team-oriented attitude and a can-do approach.
What's in it for you?
