Come work with us!

Are you our next Narrative Advisor - Implementation?

We’re looking for a new Narrative Advisor OR Senior Narrative Advisor to join our team in 2025.

We are on the lookout for a curious problem solver, a strategic thinker, and a relationship builder to become our newest Senior Narrative Advisor or Narrative Advisor.  You are on the look out for a challenging role in a unique organisation that leans into their values. One that helps people see the world through a different lens.

You may have a background in strategic communications with experience in communicating to shift people’s perspectives, implementing evidence based solutions, or working to achieve big change. Or you may have done these things within systems change, policy, advocacy, engagement or social movement roles. Wherever you have been you will behave a familiarity with and passionate about  strategic framing and its role in shifting culture and deepening understanding. 

This is a can do, sleeves up, practical role. To thrive in this role you will be very open to doing things differently from how you may have before. Working on the implementation side of our organisation, you will need experience (significant for the senior role) in learning about big concepts and new tools, and working alongside different groups of people to help them learn and apply those concepts and tools in their day to day communications. 

If you are interested in the senior role you will bring existing relationships and an ability to build relationships with new collaborators and clients, bringing in work and increasing our impact as an organisation.

We welcome expressions of interest from people who bring lived experience of the big issues that we work on, for example equity, racism, health, poverty, disability, queer and justice issues.

We will be appointing at either the mid OR senior level (not both) - it's all about the right person, please let us know which level of experience you have.
