ABOUT THE SUPPLY CHAIN SUSTAINABILITY SCHOOL The Supply Chain Sustainability School helps companies and their supply chains build practical sustainability knowledge and skills. Established in the UK in 2012, the School also operates in the USA, Ireland and Australia, serving more than 300 clients and reaching over 50,000 individuals each year across its platforms. We are growing our Australian presence, working with client organisations (our partners) to engage their employees and suppliers in learning.

PURPOSE OF THE ROLE

Your primary focus will be to grow the School’s Australian learner community through marketing campaigns, partner engagement and events. This is a broad, hands-on role in a small team, combining marketing with event coordination, learner and client support, and day-to-day platform administration. You will take ownership of delivery, with direction, training and support from Australian colleagues and the central team on priorities, topics, content and systems.

Our learners are people in client organisations and their supply chains who are not sustainability specialists. This role contributes directly to the School’s annual active learner target, set at 2,500 in Australia for April 2026 - March 2027. An active learner undertakes at least one learning activity during the year: attending an event, completing an e-learning module, using a learning resource or carrying out an assessment on the School.

WHAT WE OFFER

Join a values-driven team where you will take responsibility early, have your ideas heard and see the impact of your work. As you gain experience, you will have increasing freedom to test your own marketing and event-promotion ideas. Development opportunities include sustainability learning and training in AI, marketing and copywriting, shaped around your career interests and the needs of the business.
