You will help deliver election operations across one or more electoral districts as part of a hub team. Hubs are central field-based sites that coordinate staffing, logistics, resources and operational support during an election.
You do not need previous election experience. We will train you on electoral processes and systems. We are looking for someone who enjoys working with people, can think on their feet and is comfortable balancing community engagement with operational responsibilities.

- Build positive relationships with community organisations, candidates and election stakeholders
- Manage issues and respond to enquiries professionally, impartially and in line with established procedures
- Support election managers and hub teams to deliver key election activities
- Assist with staffing, logistics, resourcing and site coordination activities as required
- Provide support to the Hub Manager and step into different areas of the operation when needed
No two days are the same. Alongside your core responsibilities, you will be a flexible member of the hub team, stepping in where support is needed most and helping ensure election activities run smoothly across the districts your hub supports.
What you will bring to the role:
- Experience coordinating projects, operations or events and delivering results to tight deadlines
- Confidence presenting information to groups and engaging with people from diverse backgrounds
- Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
- Experience supervising, leading or supporting staff in a fast-paced environment
- Sound judgement and the ability to manage challenging situations calmly and professionally
- Strong organisational skills, attention to detail and the ability to follow procedures accurately
- Confidence using Microsoft Office applications, presentation technology and new systems
Additional requirements:
- A current driver's licence and access to a vehicle, as the role involves travel across your assigned region.
- This role involves travel to community venues, moving election materials and equipment, and working extended or irregular hours during peak election periods.
