The Opportunity

Lead stakeholder engagement, deliver community events, secure funding (grants and corporate sponsorships), and own CASA's day-to-day communications—socials, website, and marketing materials (flyers, brochures, AGM reports, and more). Strong Canva skills are essential.


What You'll Do

Stakeholder & Events

  • Build relationships across community, corporate and government networks; represent CASA at meetings and forums.

Grants, Sponsorship & Reporting

  • Identify, qualify and track grant and corporate sponsorship opportunities.
  • Develop sponsor packages and proposals that align corporate goals with CASA's mission; pitch and negotiate agreements.
  • Manage sponsor stewardship: deliverables, recognition (logos, signage, social tags), benefits, and impact/ROI reporting.
  • Manage grant agreements, milestones, acquittals and impact reporting; maintain a tidy pipeline/CRM.

Media, Marketing & Content

  • Own the content calendar and publish across Facebook/Instagram/LinkedIn.
  • Create clear, on-brand content: posts, newsletters, case studies, announcements.
  • Maintain and update the CASA website in Wix—news posts, pages, and basic site edits.
  • Design and produce marketing materials in Canva (flyers, posters, brochures, factsheets); maintain brand kit and templates.
  • Lead production of the AGM report and other flagship publications.
  • Track engagement and optimise using basic analytics (e.g., Meta/Google).

Organisation & Compliance

  • Champion brand consistency and tone of voice.
  • Contribute to policy/procedure improvements and safe work practices.

What You'll Bring

Essential

  • Demonstrated events coordination experience.
  • Proven success preparing grant submissions and managing reporting.

  • Canva proficiency (brand kits, templates, print/digital layout, export for print).
  • Wix website editing experience (or similar CMS with quick upskilling).
  • Excellent writing, editing and stakeholder communication skills.
  • Ability to work independently and take direction—a self-starter who executes, iterates, and seeks clarity when needed.
  • Solid Microsoft Office skills and ability to learn new systems.
  • Strong organisational skills and the ability to juggle competing priorities.

Mandatory

  • Current C Class driver's licence.
  • Blue Card (QLD) – Working with Children Check.
