Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Movember Full time

**We are seeking a**Program and Policy Manager to join our Melbourne team.**

The Program and Policy Manager is a a strategic and collaborative position, designed to drive Movember's policy and advocacy work across our core markets (Australia, UK, Ireland, USA, Canada, and New Zealand).

This role will focus on supporting development of compelling policy positions and building the organisational capacity needed to elevate men's health as a critical public health priority.

This includes:

- Leading the development of evidence-based policy positions on men's health issues
- Supporting national advocacy teams develop high-quality policy briefs, white papers, and submissions to government consultations
- Analyzing health system structures and identify opportunities for men's health integration
- Developing compelling policy narratives that resonate with diverse political audiences
- Monitoring policy developments and health system reforms across key markets
- Translating Movember's research findings into actionable policy recommendations
- Creating policy toolkits that regional teams can adapt to local contexts
- Identifing policy innovations and best practices across different jurisdictions
- Coordination and program manager advocacy efforts across Movember's global organisation

**For this role, you'll need;**
- 5+ years of experience in policy development, program management, and government relations
- Clear success in program management with proven examples of managing multiple stakeholders to deliver projects on time and within budget
- Demonstrated success in developing policy positions and managing advocacy programs
- Experience working across multiple teams or departments to coordinate policy efforts

- Excellent writing skills with experience producing policy documents for diverse audiences
- Bachelor's degree required; advanced degree in public policy, public health, or related field preferred

**GOOD CAUSE**:
Working for **Movember**, you'll help raise millions for men's health (not for a CEO's bonus). And all those dollars do a whole lotta good. We've funded cancer research. Created lifesaving medicines. And helped make cancer treatments less "one-size-fits-all", and more specific to each patient's needs.

We're even calling for governments worldwide to get it together on men's health. By meeting directly with policymakers so they change the systems that change men's health.

**GOOD VIBES**:
The vibes aren't just for Fridays - even though we start weekends early nine months of the year. Here, it always feels like something big's about to happen. Be it an office-wide surprise birthday party (with cake) or an impromptu all-staff boogie.

Come the hairy season, the energy gets silly. We're talking celebrity visits. Live stunts on-site for TV and radio. And when we hit a fundraising milestone, the office gong might even go off. And that means one thing: it's conga time.

**GOOD CREW**:
Let's just get this out of the way: big egos need not apply. We're all about straight-up solid human beings out to do meaningful work. People who'll help you reach career-best moments. And give you the freedom to get there the best way you see fit.

Hybrid remote working is the norm. And in the office, you can sit where you please. Who knows? On any given day you could even end up desk buddies with the man who started this all.
- Flexible hybrid working from home and our modern Richmond office
- Finish work at 2pm on Fridays (Dec-Aug)
- NFP salary packaging (pay less tax)
- 13 weeks paid parental leave and 5 weeks annual leave
- Fun & collaborative culture with employee social events
- Free Headspace subscription and other wellbeing initiative
- Relaxed dress code

**Boy, do we know the feeling of being judged.**(Over how we look, and other things that shouldn't matter.) Being different is how we started. And it's also helped us raise $1 billion for men's health. So, we know the power of diverse experiences, skills and perspectives.

**Do you want to DO GOOD?**
If so, we'd love to hear from you.
