Sydney, Australia Australian Marine Conservation Society Full time

About the role

As part of an ambitious new partnership between AMCS and Boomerang Alliance, this position will work to support the delivery of the first independent audit of Australian supermarket plastic use, in order to reduce supermarket plastic packaging.

This position will be responsible for supporting the supermarket sector to reduce plastic pollution. Using your excellent relationship-building experience, you will motivate and support supermarket sustainability teams to implement plastic reduction initiatives, while also gathering data on the use of plastics within the sector for public reporting and accountability.

The Outreach Officer (Supermarket Plastics) will work closely with a new part-time Research & Policy Officer, to support the delivery of the program.

These roles may be combined as a single full-time rule for experienced applicants who meet the requirements of both positions.

PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES

- Support the Research & Policy Officer to gather detailed information on the use of plastics within supermarkets, enabling the delivery of a public audit report comparing the relative progress and impact of supermarket plastics reduction initiatives.
- Drive a supermarket reform agenda, supporting supermarkets to implement good plastics reduction practices based on audit recommendations.
- Liaise and network with relevant government and community agencies, working together to gather information on plastics packaging management issues and solutions.
- Engage and coordinate volunteer community members to assist with activities such as surveying the packaging on their local supermarket shelves.
- Organise meetings and events as required to deliver project outcomes.
- Policy and Advocacy_
- Provide advice and support the development of change recommendations for supermarkets based on the results of audits and analysis.
- Provide expert input into the development of policy analyses and briefings for internal use and for government submissions.
- Attend relevant stakeholder and government meetings and present research findings or policy advice as needed.
- As capacity allows and where necessary, provide limited input into or engagement with other marine conservation issues beyond the post holder’s core work areas.
- Communications_
- Coordinate the production of high-quality communications materials, such as infographics, images and videos.
- Coordinate the development of media, online content, webinars and other informational materials.
- Liaise with external suppliers including printers and advertising agencies as required.
- Assist with the delivery of a public report detailing the findings of the supermarket plastics investigation, along with personalised change recommendations for each audited company.
- Reporting & Evaluation_
- Keep a log of engagement work and impact metrics.
- Assist with reporting to senior management and external funders as required.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN THIS ROLE:

- At least 2 years of experience working in outreach, partnership development and stakeholder management, particularly with business, government and community partners.
- Highly developed written and oral communication, negotiation and presentation skills.
- Strong project management skills including planning, delivering on timelines, managing stakeholders and being outcome driven.
- Ability to work effectively both autonomously and collaboratively as part of a team.
- Previous experience working in plastics reduction or environmental awareness, particularly in the non-profit and charities sector.
