Hello. We’re Virgin Australia. And we’re back (in a big way).

We’re the airline that’s always done things a little different. Our way. The Virgin way.

- Create, publish and moderate in-feed content to raise awareness of key Virgin Australia Group activities on all channels (social media, digital, media, internal)
- Create impactful PR & social media campaigns to enhance the brand and reputation of Virgin Australia Group.
- Support internal and external issues critical to the reputation for the Group and its leaders, and develop external and internal communications plans to support.
- Write and edit social media copy, press releases, pitches, speeches, scripts, internal notes to staff, briefing notes, and related materials.
- Support the Social Media Coordinator roster pattern in the event of unplanned leave or disruption.

Whom we’re looking for:

- 5+ years’ experience in social media and content or similar.
- Extensive experience leading a social media team
- Strong copywriting and copy-editing skills
- Proven results building a social media audience, driving engagement and results
- Extensive experience directing, filming, photographing, and editing content along with proficiency with video and photo editing tools.
- Passionate storyteller across multiple channels
- Experience work issues rich fast-paced environment.
