Campaign Coordinator - Flexible Location

The Finance Sector Union is the union of one of the biggest and fastest growing industries in Australia. We organise workers across Australia’s bank, insurance, credit union and superannuation employers.

Our members fight for a fair finance industry that serves our community, recognises the vital contribution of finance workers, and builds the Australian economy.

We have a supportive team culture of innovation, and transformation to achieving the best outcomes for our members.

As Campaign Coordinator you will work with the Campaign Manager to develop organising and campaign strategies in finance sector organisations. You will manage team of organisers to implement the strategy to build power with our members.

Your responsibilities will be:

1. Contribute to campaign strategies and plans

• Work with the Campaign Manager to develop, plan and execute national campaigns to build power for our members through Union growth, member engagement and activism. Our campaign work ranges from sector-wide (like our fight to win paid vaccination leave for 220,000 finance workers), to enterprise campaigns on issues like enterprise bargaining and wage theft.
• Track and measure the team’s execution of our campaigns to ensure we’re meeting our Union’s goals. Work with each team member to ensure that they are able to achieve their campaign goal, and adjust tactics as needed. We are outcome-focused with a fail fast, learn fast culture.

2. Develop and lead a high performing team

• Develop and lead a national team of organisers and digital campaigners to build power as part of our campaigns.

You will be skilled in developing organising capacity across our people.
• Establish goals and measures for organisers and digital campaigners and be responsible for helping all team members to meet their goals. This will involve assisting organisers to break down national campaign plans to their individual objectives and then develop strategies to meet them.
• Oversee the implementation and co-ordination of team activities with a focus on working in an innovative and agile way. You will ensure that we have our people allocated to the most strategic work.
• We have diverse teams with a range of backgrounds, so a key element of this role is the ability to inspire our team to make their best contribution. You will focus on fostering a supportive team culture where sharing best practice is encouraged and embed a culture of continuous learning.
