Digital Content Producer

Renew Economy is seeking a motivated Digital Content Producer to join our small and collaborative team.

The successful candidate will help create, manage and optimise digital content for Renew Economy and our sister publication, The Driven, across websites, newsletters, podcasts, video and social media.

This role combines creativity, editorial judgement, organisation and digital production skills. It would suit an early-career candidate who is interested in renewable energy, climate and electric vehicles, and wants to build a career in digital media.

Experience with video editing, social media content creation, Canva or Adobe tools, WordPress, newsletters, podcast production or audience analytics would be highly regarded. However, we do not expect candidates to have experience across every area, and there will be opportunities to develop their skills on the job.

The position can be hybrid or remote depending on individual circumstances.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Create and manage high-quality digital content, including short-form and long-form video, social media posts, newsletters and other digital material.
• Adapt news stories, interviews and podcasts into engaging content suited to different platforms and audiences.
• Assist with website publishing and the production of Renew Economy and The Driven newsletters.
• Manage pre- and post-production for our podcast titles, including recording coordination, editing and publishing.
• Manage social media accounts, including scheduling content and moderating audience interactions.
• Maintain a content calendar to support the consistent and timely publication of content.
• Monitor audience and content performance across social media, newsletters, video and other digital platforms.
• Identify trends and use performance insights to improve content and audience engagement.
• Work closely with editors, journalists and other team members to ensure content aligns with each publication’s editorial voice and objectives.
• Coordinate with external vendors and contractors when required.

SKILLS & ATTRIBUTES

We are looking for someone who:

• Has a genuine interest in renewable energy, climate, technology and electric vehicles.
• Can translate news and complex subjects into clear, accessible and engaging digital content.
• Has experience creating and editing video content, whether professionally, academically or through personal projects.
• Understands how content should be adapted for different social media platforms and audiences.
• Is organised and able to manage multiple projects and deadlines.
• Can work effectively both independently and as part of a small team.
• Has strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Is curious, adaptable and willing to learn new tools and formats.

Experience with Canva, Adobe Creative Suite, WordPress, email marketing platforms, podcast production or digital analytics would be an advantage, but is not essential.
