About Us:
We are gearing up for the upcoming Electrify Auckland Expo, a free event (Saturday, Feb 20 @ Shed 10) bringing together the latest in solar, home batteries, electric vehicles, heat pumps and more – all under the one roof. With a general public audience, we are connecting Auckland homeowners with the solutions to slash their bills, reduce emissions, and increase resilience. We are looking for a creative, proactive communications and social media assistant to help us amplify our reach and drive engagement over the crucial weeks leading up to the event.
Role Overview:
As our Comms & Social Media Assistant, you will take ownership of our digital presence. If you love storytelling, content creation, and helping bring a major community event to life, this is the perfect opportunity to make an impact right as you finish your studies or exams.
Key Responsibilities:
- Marketing & Comms Planning: Develop, in combination with the Electrify Auckland team, the event’s marketing and comms plan (channels, timeline, budget)
- Digital Outreach: Support email communications, pitch to local newsletters and media, and upload event listings to various community and event boards.
- Campaign Support: Assist the core team with coordinating digital ads and promotional materials.
- Content Creation & Social Media: Plan, create, and schedule engaging posts across our social channels, showcasing event highlights and exhibitor spotlights.
- Exhibitor & Sponsor Activation: Liaise with exhibitors and sponsors to give them ready-to-use assets and get them actively promoting their involvement
What We Are Looking For:
- Based in Auckland with the ability to travel locally for exhibitor visits/content creation.
- Strong written and visual communication skills (experience with short-form video/social media content is a big plus).
- Self-motivated, highly organised, and able to hit the ground running.
- Available immediately for a short-term commitment from November until February.
- An interest in the climate and/or energy space is great, but not essential.
How to Apply:
Send us a cover letter that you have written yourself (we can see right through AI) and links to previous social media or content creation work.
