Marketing Campaign Coordinator

$75,665 – $77,960 PRO RATA + SUPER | FULL-TIME, FIXED TERM TO 27 JUNE 2025

About the Role

We’re looking for an ambitious and adaptable arts and music marketer to coordinate paid marketing activity for the 2025 festival.

Reporting to the Marketing Director, you’ll be the lynchpin that connects the festival’s marketing and PR activities to the RISING brand. This role assists in campaign planning, and project manages the paid marketing campaign briefing, roll-out and asset distribution to agency, venues and partners. You are a channel savvy marketer with meticulous attention to detail. You feel confident in a sprawling media plan and are fluent in project management tools.

You have solid copywriting skills and good instincts for tailoring a message to an audience. You’re experienced in writing concise and considered creative briefs and know how to manage expectations on delivery and workflow.

You’re endlessly curious about what works and what doesn’t. Working with the Data and Insights Specialist, you will analyse RISING reporting platforms such as Google Analytics, Falcon, Meta and Tessitura, to track campaign performance to see where they can be optimised. You’re a good communicator, who follows up loose ends and never assumes—you always reconfirm details and ask clarifying questions. You’re a stickler for accuracy with high standards and sound judgement, but you also recognise you work with human beings, so you’re flexible, open and collaborative—particularly when it comes to competing priorities.

You’re able to adapt to a fluctuating workload and a dynamic, demanding work environment. No one holds you to a higher standard than yourself—you believe in personal accountability and understand delegations of authority. You feel confident delegating up and proactively providing your insight and advice to your managers to help them make decisions.
