Position Overview

This role will lead marketing and communications for the Goldstein Electorate Office.

Both parts combine to ensure that the Member for Goldstein is best able to serve the local community.

You will build and deploy a communications plan that works across the full media mix of paid, owned, internal, social and earned channels.

- Manage internal and external design, print and production suppliers.
- Ensure that content is high quality, with appropriate branding, message and tone.
- Measure and report on marketing and communications endeavours.
- Revise plans and content based upon measurement and data, not mere intuition.
