ABOUT THIS ROLE
The Victorian Greens looking for a Campaign Manager for the Prahran electorate in the upcoming Victorian State Election. With a small change in the vote, the Greens could re-elect our existing MPs and win new lower house seats and seize balance of power in the state parliament.
The Victorian Greens are a political party based on four key principles: ecological sustainability, grassroots democracy, social justice and peace and non-violence. Our movement is focused on delivering the plans we need to ensure that everyone has a good life. We're committed to ensuring that all people are treated equally, that our environment is protected, and that big donors can no longer buy the influence of politicians and governments.
In this role you'll be working with our candidate, branch and local campaign team in the state electorate of Prahran.
Across all campaigns, our movement is proudly people powered. You'll be working with people from all walks of life and bringing together our multi-faith, multicultural and proudly diverse community. As a leader in our campaigns, you'll be working with volunteers and talking to voters, helping to set and uphold our inclusive culture.
