Join our team as a Digital Campaigns Assistant to work on a range of powerful and exciting campaigns.
You'll support the delivery of impactful campaigns- shifting hearts and minds from day one.
From crafting emails that inspire people to take action, to brainstorming graphics that cut through the noise, to getting stuck into the behind-the-scenes-detail that gets a campaign out the door, you’ll be working hard, fast and learning everyday.
We don’t expect a Digital Campaigns Assistant to know everything about digital campaigning in a political space. But you’ll come with at least 1-2 years experience in digital roles or where you've used digital as a core discipline.
