Your role in our whānau
Working closely with our Pae Ārahi (cultural and digital leader), you'll be at the heart of creating content that genuinely connects communities. This role combines social media expertise with digital project management — perfect for someone who loves crafting engaging content and bringing projects to life.
You'll have a particular focus on health and wellbeing initiatives, especially maternal health and breastfeeding campaigns. If you have personal connection to these areas, that's fantastic — but what matters most is your passion for supporting whānau to thrive.
What your days will look like
- Creating content that stops the scroll Develop social media strategies across LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok. Using tools like Canva and CapCut, you'll craft compelling content that genuinely engages communities rather than just filling feeds.
- Managing projects that matter Coordinate web development projects from initial brief through to launch. You'll work with clients to understand their digital needs, manage timelines and budgets, and collaborate with developers and designers to bring visions to life.
- Building authentic connections Work with our Pae Ārahi to ensure all digital work respects cultural values and authentically engages with Māori and diverse communities. You'll help integrate te reo Māori and tikanga appropriately across platforms.
- Supporting health and wellbeing Lead social media strategy for campaigns that help whānau access vital health information, particularly around breastfeeding and maternal health. Create culturally appropriate content that supports community wellbeing.
