  • To provide advice, analysis, and advocacy on major issues and proposals that could impact on the profitability and productivity of the export meat industry.
  • To assess the reputational standing of MIA among key internal and external stakeholders, and improve this in the eyes of members, partners, stakeholders, decision-makers, the media and the wider public.

About you

To be successful in this role, you will:

  • Have previous experience in public relations, government relations, media, stakeholder relations and communications.
  • Be someone who shows a lot of initiative, energy and is comfortable working autonomously and can work under pressure at busy times.
  • Have excellent verbal and written communication skills and a keen eye for detail coupled with a high degree of accuracy.
  • Have a superior ability to establish and maintain productive working relationships with people at all levels both internally and externally.
  • Have an ability to support the members of a small, busy and highly professional team to deliver optimal performance.
