Help Us Solve a Real Problem
Caravan Industry Association of Australia has a diverse stakeholder base and runs some genuinely amazing activities on behalf of the Australian caravanning and camping industry. We need someone sharp, relentless and a little bit obsessed with Government Relations to round out our small but dedicated team.
The industry. An economic powerhouse. A social connector. Right now, an industry going through serious disruption and maturation, and it needs a strong, consistent voice in Government to match. That voice could be you.
The role. Working closely with our CEO, the management team and two of our dedicated state caravanning associations, you will be the consistent, articulate face of Government Relations for a purpose driven organisation. You will advance the profile and interests of the industry at a Federal level, and support advocacy at a Queensland state level. You can expect travel to Canberra during sitting weeks.
Who we need. Someone who has:
- high levels of self-motivation
- skills at juggling a diverse range of projects at once, with limited instruction and tight deadlines
- excellent communication skills (including potentially in front of media)
- sharp time management
- exceptional attention to detail
- a love for the political landscape
- initiative, and who has the relationship skills and determination to get diverse projects in front of Government and land them.
Who should NOT apply. If you are purely looking for a job, PLEASE don't apply. If you are motivated by money, PLEASE also don't apply. This role is not for you.
Who SHOULD apply. If you want to make a genuine difference to a much loved industry, and deliver real outcomes for the businesses, employees, customers and regional communities we serve, we want to hear from you.
The reality. Every day will be different. The workplace will be manic. The effort will be incredibly satisfying and rewarding.
This is anticipated to be a full time role, based in our Albion office, close to public transport, with limited off street parking available.
