About Us

At the Global CCS Institute, we unite members, including governments, global corporations, private enterprises, research institutions, and NGOs, all dedicated to shaping a net-zero future. As an international think tank and a leading global authority on Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), our mission is to help accelerate the deployment of CCS, a critical technology in combating climate change and achieving climate neutrality. Headquartered in Melbourne, Australia, we have a global presence, with offices and staff members located in Washington DC, Houston, London, Abu Dhabi, Beijing, and Tokyo.

About the Role and the Team

We are looking for a Digital Communications and Brand Manager to join the Global CCS Institute’s Communications team in Australia.

This is a hands-on role with significant responsibility for how the Institute presents itself and connects with audiences around the world. You will manage and continuously improve our website, member portal and digital channels, help deliver integrated communications campaigns, and support the consistent and effective application of our brand.

Working as part of a small, collaborative global team, you will combine strong digital communications expertise with excellent writing, editorial judgement and an understanding of how data and audience insights can improve performance. You will work closely with colleagues across the Institute, as well as external agencies and suppliers, to turn complex technical and policy information into clear, engaging and accessible communications.

We are looking for someone who is proactive, practical and comfortable taking ownership of day-to-day digital and brand delivery. You will bring ideas, identify opportunities to strengthen our digital presence and audience reach, and help ensure our communications are consistently high quality and aligned with the Institute’s strategic priorities.

What You’ll Bring to the Role

• Communication and storytelling: Translate complex technical, policy and research material into clear, engaging and accessible content for different audiences and digital channels.
• Digital content and performance: Develop and optimise high-quality digital content and campaigns, using audience insights and performance data to improve reach, engagement and effectiveness.
• Brand and audience experience: Help ensure the Institute presents a consistent, credible and engaging brand experience across its website, member portal, social channels, campaigns and other communications.
• Collaboration and engagement: Build strong working relationships with colleagues, members, agencies and external stakeholders, helping deliver coordinated communications that support the Institute’s strategic priorities.

About You

You are an experienced digital communications professional with strong writing and editorial skills and a practical understanding of how digital channels, content and brand work together to engage audiences.

You will bring hands-on experience managing corporate websites, digital platforms and content, together with the confidence to deliver communications across digital and non-digital channels. You are comfortable using data and audience insights to understand what is working, identify opportunities and improve performance.

Proactive and curious, you enjoy bringing forward new ideas and constructively challenging established approaches. You are equally comfortable taking ownership of your work and collaborating with colleagues, agencies and stakeholders across different disciplines and regions. You will be organised, adaptable and able to manage competing priorities within a global working environment. Your approach will reflect the Institute’s Values of Integrity, Quality and Collaboration.

The Experience and Skills You Will Bring

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including strong editing and proofreading capability
• Demonstrated ability to translate complex technical, policy and research material into clear, engaging content for different audiences
• Hands-on experience managing corporate websites, content management systems and digital channels
• Experience contributing to and delivering agreed web roadmaps and digital improvement programmes
• Experience developing and delivering integrated digital and non-digital communications and campaigns
• Confidence using analytics and audience insights to evaluate performance and improve content and channel effectiveness
• Strong project management skills, with experience managing agencies, suppliers and multiple priorities
• Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills, with the ability to build productive relationships across an organisation

What Will Help You Stand Out

• A proactive, collaborative and inclusive working style
• Sound judgement and a willingness to constructively challenge and improve established approaches
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to turn ideas into practical delivery
• A high level of personal ownership and accountability
• Adaptability and confidence working independently as part of a geographically dispersed team
• Curiosity and a commitment to continuing to learn and develop
