We’re looking for a Community & Social Coordinator to help us tell the stories of our graduates and creative community consistently, clearly and humanly across social media, email and web.

This role is ideal for someone early in their marketing or communications career who enjoys being close to the work. You're confident talking to people, organised in your approach and excited by design, creativity and creative education.

You'll spend your time planning and publishing content, engaging with our graduates, keeping channels active and helping us show the real outcomes of our courses to prospective students. This role directly supports enrolments by spotlighting graduate journeys, student work and community culture.

This isn't a senior or strategic position. We are looking for someone reliable, proactive and hands-on, who enjoys momentum, collaboration and making things happen.
