Queensland Greens State and Campaigns Director

ABOUT YOUR ORGANISATION

The Queensland Greens is a political movement committed to ecological sustainability, social justice, grassroots democracy, and peace and non-violence.

The Queensland Greens is a member of the Australian Greens and is supported by members, branches, volunteers, elected representatives and staff across Queensland. Our organisation brings together political campaigning, community organising, elected representation and a strong grassroots membership base to build a fairer, more sustainable Queensland.

The Queensland Greens operate through elected governance structures, branches, campaign committees, elected representative offices and a professional staff team. Effective coordination across these structures is critical to building a strong, sustainable and campaign-ready political organisation. This is an exciting period of organisational development for the Queensland Greens.

The State and Campaigns Director will play a central role in strengthening the organisation's strategic capacity, campaign readiness, governance implementation and long-term sustainability. 

ABOUT THE ROLE

The State and Campaigns Director is the senior staff role responsible for strategic organisational oversight, campaign coordination, governance implementation and long-term organisational development across the Queensland Greens. 

Working closely with the Queensland Greens Convenor, State Secretary, Management Committee, Queensland Campaign Committee, elected representatives and senior staff, you will provide strategic leadership across the organisation and ensure that decisions made by State Council and other governance bodies are effectively implemented.

You will oversee strategic planning, organisational priorities, budgets and cashflow, election preparedness, organisational risk and regulatory compliance. You will also provide leadership to the senior operational team and ensure that organisational resources, systems and structures are aligned with the Queensland Greens political and campaign priorities.

This is an opportunity to play a central role in strengthening the Queensland Greens as an effective, sustainable and campaign-ready political organisation.

ABOUT YOU

This is a distinctive senior leadership role requiring a strategic thinker, confident organisational leader, skilled diplomat and politically astute decision-maker.

You will bring demonstrated experience leading complex organisations, campaigns or strategic operations, together with the ability to work effectively within democratic governance structures and across diverse stakeholder groups. You will be comfortable balancing long-term organisational strategy with immediate political and operational pressures. You will have strong judgement, excellent communication skills and the ability to identify and manage organisational, financial, regulatory, and political risks. You will be able to build trust across elected representatives, governance bodies, staff, branches, campaign teams and volunteers, while providing clear leadership and accountability to senior staff.

The role requires flexibility, including the capacity to work evenings, weekends and extended hours during election campaigns or periods of significant organisational activity or risk.

If you are motivated by building organisational power, strengthening campaign capacity and contributing to the growth of the Greens movement in Queensland, this is an opportunity to make a significant contribution.
