Be bold. Be creative. Be part of the fight for a green and peaceful future.

At Greenpeace Australia Pacific (GPAP), we believe a better world is possible and we’re determined to make it real. We are an independent campaigning organisation, powered by people and creative action, taking on the biggest environmental and climate challenges of our time. Our priorities are: 
 

• tackling climate change by phasing out of the biggest source of planet-heating emissions - fossil fuels - so we can build a clean energy future right here in WA; and 
• protecting nature, including our oceans and forests, by stopping the largest sources of environmental destruction like industrial fishing and deforestation.

Whatever your role at GPAP, you’ll be part of something bigger: a passionate global movement that sparks action, holds decision‑makers to account, and drives lasting change for people and the planet. This is an opportunity to use your skills, creativity, and commitment to help shape a future worth fighting for.

ASSISTANT CAMPAIGNER (WA)

Role: Full time, 12 month Fixed Term Contract
Location: Perth, Australia - Hybrid working in the Perth office

THE TEAM

Our primary goal is to bring down the might of the fossil fuel order standing in the way of a sustainable future and we need your help to do it. This role works within the Climate and Energy team, and supports our Nature campaign when WA issues intersect. You'll contribute to major projects that challenge offshore gas expansion and promote renewable energy alternatives.
 

This role will report to the Western Australia Lead and will collaborate with cross-functional teams on key projects and initiatives. This will include partnering with other campaigners, political and advocacy specialists, digital and engagement experts and more. 

THE ROLE

As Assistant Campaigner, you’ll play a vital role in implementing GPAP’s campaigns to shift WA away from fossil fuels and safeguard its unique ecosystems. You’ll help influence decision makers through smart advocacy, creative events, and strategic communications, delivering real impact on key climate and energy issues.
 

You’ll coordinate campaign activities, strengthen partnerships, and mobilise supporters to achieve change on the ground.
 

Key responsibilities include:

• Support the development and delivery of campaign strategies and projects in Western Australia.
• Build meaningful relationships with community allies, policymakers, and media stakeholders.
• Coordinate campaign events, volunteer activities, and supporter engagement.
• Conduct research and produce reports that inform campaign direction and communications.
• Draft persuasive content for a range of audiences, turning complex issues into compelling stories.
• Collaborate across teams to deliver high-impact, evidence-based campaigns true to Greenpeace values.

THE IDEAL CANDIDATE

You’re a driven, resourceful campaigner with a passion for environmental justice and social change. You thrive in a fast-moving, collaborative environment and have the initiative to find creative solutions.
 

You’ll ideally also have:

• At least 2 years’ experience in campaigning, advocacy, or community organising.
• Knowledge of WA politics, environmental issues, and the energy sector.
• Proven ability to manage projects, juggle priorities, and meet tight deadlines.
• Outstanding written and verbal communication skills.
• Experience working with volunteers and building partnerships.
• A commitment to Greenpeace’s mission of a green and peaceful world.
