Communications Adviser

6 months ago

Wanganui, New Zealand LGJobs Full time

How do you tell the story of local government in a way that resonates with its ratepayers and residents? It's a tough gig but we are committed to demonstrating the huge range of ways that our Council has a positive impact on the district we call home.

As a Communications Adviser at MDC, you'll be allocated a set of client groups for whom you'll be a comms superstar. The role requires someone who can build great relationships with the people at the frontline doing the mahi, understand their drivers and ‘whys' and translate that into engaging and innovative content that resonates with our audiences.

Being allocated a set of client groups means you'll be able to really get to know the programmes of work happening in your areas. You'll know the ins and outs of all the projects and be able to seek out a story where at first glance there isn't one. A crucial part of the role is providing expert advice on how to capitalise on public relation opportunities and making them happen. And the content you create won't just be simple updates on progress; your carefully crafted strategic comms planning means that the content tells part of a bigger story - how these projects overlap and interact with others to achieve long-term aims of Council.

The role will also see you take responsibility for the production and growth of a number of communications channels, including social media, e-newsletters, website, printed publications, staff intranet and more. Regular reporting of communications outputs and achievements to our Elected Members and Executive Team will also help the communications department analyse successes and areas for refinement.

This is an exciting challenge for someone ready to get stuck in and make their mark on our organisation. It's a varied, creative and unpredicatable role so the ability to juggle mulitple pieces of work and quickly adapt to meet unexpected priorities is a must.

The roles sit within the Communications & Engagement team, and you'll be working alongside a Senior Designer, an Engagement & Marketing Adviser and a Data & Insights Analyst. The team work closely to deliver a comprehensive communications service to the organisation, and utilise the wide range of skills within the team to have the biggest impact.

If you're already in the Manawatū, you'll know how good we have it with a perfect mix of big city attractions in Palmerston North, and lots of smaller towns, villages and rural lifestyle opportunities in the district. We're a stone's throw from the sea, the mountain and Wellington is just a couple of hours to the south. We've got some of the best schools in the country, a thriving university and the region is, we think, one of the best places in New Zealand to raise a family. If you're looking to leave the grind of the inner city and find a better way of life for your whānau, check out more about the Manawatū here.
