At Australian Retirement Trust (ART) we're transforming the way Australians plan for retirement. As an External Communications Specialist, you'll play a pivotal role in our strategy to position ART as an investor of choice with world class, leading global investment capability.

Why join us?

permanent position offers the flexibility to be based in
Brisbane,
Sydney, or
Melbourne.

  • You have a solid background in investment communications or a similar external communications role, supported by a strong educational foundation in Communications, Public Relations, Investments, or a related field.
  • Your journalistic, storytelling, copywriting, and editing skills are topnotch, with a proven ability to simplify complex financial matters for diverse audiences.
  • You have demonstrated experience in longform financial writing, including investment and market commentary updates.
  • You can articulate concepts and ideas in a way that persuades, influences, and convinces others, using plain language that resonates with the average investor.
  • You are selfmotivated and thrive in a fastpaced, crossfunctional team environment.
  • You possess strong time management skills and the flexibility to work outside standard business hours when needed to meet deadlines.

Our inclusive culture means you'll be valued and heard in a respectful workplace. We've created an environment where you can be yourself and do amazing work. It's that simple.


You'll hear from us after the closing date whether you make it through to the next round or not - we think that's only fair.

It's why we're part of the Circle Back Initiative.
