Role Summary:

We’re looking for someone to join the team to support in an administration capacity. Our team all work remotely, so this role will focus on administration tasks that connect and support our team, clients and government stakeholders. 

About you:

A proactive, natural and confident communicator, with an organised and efficient approach to administration duties. You may be a former staff member for a state or federal member of parliament.

You are tech-savvy and must be willing to learn and use new platforms.

Day-to-day tasks will include:

• Calling the office of a member of parliament to arrange a meeting for clients
• Client event management
• Client onboarding and project management
• Liaising with our clients or government/political influencers to facilitate meeting programs
• Manage administration support, including preparing reports, presentations, data entry
• Book travel plans for the team
• Line up a Zoom call for our team and clients

About us:

Fifty Acres is not a traditional agency. We’re a virtual agency, operating remotely for 15 years with hubs in NSW, Canberra, Queensland, WA and Singapore. 

We’re good humans, and our supportive and collaborative team understands the importance of family and work-life balance (our Founder Jo Scard even co-authored a book on it, The Working Mother’s Survival Guide). We’re proud to offer the flexibility to work remote from home, or from a coworking space located near your place. 

While we’re flexible at Fifty Acres, we also put the work in working from home. We’re an agile, fast-past and dedicated team of communicators, and our work involves engagement with high-profile clients, political influencers and government agencies. As such, this is a challenging and dynamic role that at times may also require a level of flexibility on your part (within reason).
