Campaign Coordinator - Contractor

The Great Regional City Challenge (GRCC) has since 2019 raised over $500,000 in funds and support to identify and assist over 30 innovative projects to make Launceston one of the great regional cities of the world. 

On August 4th, 2024 we will conduct a GRCC Launceston Challenge Day, where 50-60 individuals, employers, employees and organisation members will set a vision for how the community can help make Launceston one of the great regional cities of the world. As an input to this Day, GRCC will hold 2-hour idea sessions during April 2024 in all 6 sections of Launceston.

Then we will campaign to raise funds to identify, support and fund the community led projects that the GRCC Launceston Challenge Day has identified. 

To help maximise our impact, we have created an opportunity for a flexible, result-focussed Campaign Coordinator.

This is a newly created casual family-friendly role. The position is accountable to the Chair on behalf of the GRCC Committee.

There will be after hours and weekend work with reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses.
