There’s a lot going on at Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary and it means we need some extra hands on deck! We are currently looking for an intern to join our marketing team to learn and work across our digital marketing array and strengthen our brand with all the new, exciting things happening!  

THE ROLE

We are looking for a creative, enthusiastic, friendly, energetic, passionate and adaptable intern to join our fast-paced team in order to gain experience in the industry. We are seeking an individual with a strong connection and interest in wildlife and the environment.   In this role you will be working across and learn about the following:

- Blog and eDM copywriting (~60%)

- Organic social media (sourcing content, copywriting for different platforms, hashtag strategies, etc.) (~20%)

- Paid social media (understanding analytics, campaign set ups etc.) (~10%)

- General marketing/content/social admin tasks & reporting (~10%)

• In this role you will also learn and be responsible for some of the following:

• Cataloguing Image Library for easy access

• Copywriting posts and using relevant hashtags

• Content creation

• Research & competitor analysis

• Brainstorming ideas for PR and social campaigns

• Assisting in social reporting and analysis

• Website SEO improvements

This is a part-WFH position, so good internet is pivotal. The role would see you working from home one day a week, as well as working out of Bonorong one day a week. You will be required to bring your own laptop.

You will work under our Marketing Specialist who has over 15 years experience in Marketing & Digital Marketing, and will work with you to learn, upskill and develop your strengths in marketing. Please note this is an unpaid intern role.

THE CANDIDATE

You will have a positive outlook, passion for what we do, great work ethic, excellent communication skills, good time management skills, flexibility, client focused and a good sense of humour.

You don’t shy away from diving in head first doing the hard-work. We will work with you to tailor your workload, to both work across areas and tasks you are interested in, as well as where we can best help upskill you and teach you things that are going to help you excel in your career – this is a two-way relationship after all.

To be successful in this position you will:

- Have keen creative eye and understand what makes for an interesting social feed to engage audiences

- Be detail oriented, have good writing skills and be able to work autonomously

- Be good communicator with a positive can-do attitude and excellent work ethic

- Have eagerness to learn and grow within the field of digital marketing

- Be available 1-2 days per week for a minimum period of 3 months

Previous hands-on Social Media, Public Relations, Advertising, Copywriting or Digital Marketing experience is highly regarded but not essential. Applicants currently completing a Marketing, Communications, Journalism or PR Degree’s are encouraged to apply.

HOW TO APPLY

If you believe you have what we are looking for and think you would be perfect for our team, email us with your CV and cover letter – we also appreciate a good GIF or meme, so if you have one that supports your application and shows us your personality, send it on through!

Please send your application to socials@bonorong.com.au

TIMINGS & NEXT STEPS

The position will be up for roughly 2-3 weeks, before we narrow it down to 4-6 applicants who then we’d love to have a chat to. Please note, next steps may be a small writing task – as writing is paramount to the work, and will be roughly 60-70% of the work over the first few months.
