About the Role
This is a unique opportunity to work for one of Australia’s most progressive elected representatives, part of a city government with a record of delivering for its communities.

An understanding of media at all levels, including social media, will be vital, along with a record of success in a similarly demanding position. You will need outstanding writing and editing skills, with an eye for great visual design and attention to detail, someone who understands the Sydney media, works fast, meets deadlines and shares values; a collaborative team player who understands the nature and community needs of Sydney. The position will suit someone who has a record of achievement in a comparable local government, ministerial or departmental communications role, having ideally sharpened their writing skills through experience in print or on-line media.
