Job Description

We're looking for a creative communicator and skilled relationship builder to join our team as Communications and Engagement Coordinator. You'll lead our public communications, manage social media and digital channels, support stakeholder and member engagement, and help tell the story of music's cultural and economic value across the NT.

This is a genuinely varied role - one day you might be writing a media release about a festival partnership, the next you're developing content for a remote community music program or coordinating promotional materials for an upcoming music event. If you thrive in a dynamic environment and care about the power of music and culture, we'd love to hear from you., This role is Alice Springs or Darwin-based. We welcome applications from candidates based elsewhere in the NT, and we're happy to have a conversation about flexible start arrangements.

For the right candidate, hybrid or remote working arrangements may be considered during an establishment period, with the expectation of an eventual Darwin base.

Darwin and Alice Springs are both remarkable places to live - vibrant, multicultural, and close to some of Australia's most extraordinary landscapes and communities.

• Building awareness of MusicNT and the NT music industry through proactive media engagement and targeted communications

• Developing communications and marketing support for MusicNT's programs and events
• Capturing the stories, outcomes, and voices of artists and communities we work with
• Contributing to organisational planning, grant reporting, and internal communications as required

• Confidence engaging with diverse stakeholders, including people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds
• Self-motivation and the ability to manage competing priorities in a small-team environment

• Experience in the arts, music, or community sector
• Experience communicating with or working alongside First Nations communities
• Familiarity with the Northern Territory or regional and remote Australia
