About the Smart Energy Council

The Smart Energy Council is the peak body and independent voice for the Australian renewable energy sector. We are bold, fearless advocates for the clean energy transition, working across industry, government, and the community to accelerate action on smart energy solutions.

With more than 1,500 members, we champion ambitious policy reform, deliver hands-on support, and actively connect the sector to unlock growth, investment, and innovation. We’re not just a voice; we’re a platform for impact, shaping Australia’s energy future and building strong partnerships across the Asia-Pacific.

About the Role

We are looking for a senior, highly experienced digital content and marketing professional to take the lead on our brand storytelling, digital campaigns, and online user experience.

This is not an entry-level or junior position. You will be responsible for elevating the quality and impact of our communications across all platforms, from EDMs and social media to web and paid digital campaigns. You will be a confident writer, skilled strategist, and comfortable managing both messaging and design.

Key Focus Areas

Copywriting & Content – You’ll own our tone of voice, write compelling copy across channels (EDMs, social, web, reports, press, and speeches), and lead content strategy.

Social Media & Paid Campaigns – You’ll run and optimise campaigns across organic and paid channels (Google Ads, Meta), and know what converts.

Website & UX – You’ll manage our WordPress website, drive user experience improvements, and plan cross-team editorial calendars.

Design – You’ll create on-brand visuals in Canva (Adobe Suite is a bonus) and design digital and print collateral that gets noticed.

Email Marketing – You’ll manage weekly newsletters and member comms using platforms like HubSpot or ActiveCampaign.

Outstanding copywriting and storytelling skills

A track record of leading high-performing campaigns across digital channels

Solid experience in graphic design and website UX (especially WordPress)

Confident in email marketing and engagement strategies
