Why you might love this opp:
Climate 200 helps level the playing field for independent community campaigns committed to science-based climate action, restoring integrity to politics, and gender equity. Climate 200 supported the winning elections of 11 community independents in 2022, putting climate and integrity front and centre in those campaigns.
In the 2025 federal election, Climate 200 supported 35 campaigns nationally. 8 of these campaigns elected community independents to parliament, with another 10 electorates pushed into marginal territory. This is all thanks to Climate 200’s 33,000 donors from all 150 federal electorates.
Climate 200 has developed an impactful long-term strategy for the next Federal Election, which will require our small, high-performing team to achieve significant fundraising, capacity-building and strategic communications goals.
Climate 200 has an entry-level opportunity to work within our Community Outreach Calling Team. There are two vacancies to be filled. This is a remote and casual position, with working hours between 12:00pm to 6.30pm (AEST), for up to 3 days per week. This is a performance-based role; the team will work towards collective targets but each member is accountable for their own output, with potential pathway into other roles in the organisation.
You will receive on-the-job training and support from the Head of Donor Journeys, who can help to develop your skills in communication, message crafting, script development and fundraising. This is a role with opportunities for growth and cross-team engagement.
What's involved:
Tasks include, but are not limited to;
- Making calls to the Climate 200 community as a part of coordinated fundraising and donor engagement campaigns, including strategy and campaign updates, event recruitment, and fundraising appeals.
- Participating in, and helping to shape, targeted campaigns aligned with broader fundraising objectives.
- Working towards ambitious team fundraising targets, bringing in one-off and recurring donations from small scale donors.
- Supporting the growth and retention of our recurring donor base, with responsibility for donor care and active relationship management.
- Providing insights to the organisation from your conversations with the donor community, helping to inform fundraising and engagement strategies.
- Contributing to the broader organisational strategy, through ad hoc support to the Fundraising team and other areas as required. Examples include:
- Providing event support (online, and in-person where possible)
- Providing social media support
- Contributing to written communications
- Conducting in-depth donor research and analysis
