What if your next job gave you the freedom to work on interesting projects and make time for a cause you care about? An entrepreneur working on several projects in Australia is looking for a capable, curious, and highly educated Research & Communications Associate to provide support across a variety of ventures.

The projects include organising retreats, launching Meetup communities, and developing other entrepreneurial initiatives. The work will be varied, so this is a great fit for someone who enjoys learning new things, communicating with people, researching ideas, and using technology to get things done.

What You’ll Be Working On

There won’t be a typical day in this role. Your responsibilities will depend on what projects are currently underway.

You may be asked to:

• Help organise retreats, meetups, and community events
• Support communications through emails, phone calls, and online platforms
• Create and manage activities using platforms such as Meetup.com
• Conduct market research to support business and entrepreneurial projects
• Carry out scientific research and gather reliable information
• Use technology and online tools to research, organise, and communicate
• Help coordinate different projects and keep tasks moving forward
• Communicate with people professionally and effectively
• Take initiative and help solve problems as they arise

The role is intentionally broad. You’ll need to be comfortable moving between research, communication, administration, and project support.

Who Would Be a Good Fit?

We’re looking for someone who is smart, adaptable, curious, and dependable.

You must have a Bachelor’s degree with top grades in one of the following fields:

• Science
• Engineering
• Law
• Medicine
• Information Technology

You should also have:

• A strong understanding of scientific concepts and research
• Good technology and digital skills
• Strong written and verbal communication
• The ability to research information carefully and think critically
• Good organisational and problem-solving skills
• The ability to work independently
• A willingness to learn and take on different types of projects

You don’t need to know everything from day one. What matters is your ability to learn quickly, communicate clearly, and figure things out.
