Marketing Coordinator

About Us

The National Melbourne is a not for profit performing arts organisation based in St Kilda, home to three respected brands under one roof: The National Theatre, The National Ballet School, and The National Drama School. We present live performance, train the next generation of dancers and actors, and connect with our community year-round through productions, events, and education programs.

About the Role

We're looking for an experienced Marketing Coordinator to own the coordination and delivery of marketing across all three of our brands. This is a hands-on, varied role — one day you might be updating website content or briefing our social media contractor, the next you're producing a Ballet or Drama School prospectus, coordinating an audition or enrolment campaign for our Young Actors Program, pulling together a show program, coordinating a photoshoot, or building an eDM for an upcoming season or enrolment intake.

You'll work closely with our Theatre, Ballet School and Drama School teams, our Ticketing Administrator, and external design and digital partners, reporting to our Executive Manager - Development & Marketing.

Key responsibilities include:

●      Coordinating website content and updates across three brand sites (WordPress)

●      Contributing to brand identity development, including key art and campaign assets

●      Supporting Google Ads and Analytics reporting

●      Building and distributing eNewsletters and eDMs (Mailchimp)

●      Coordinating with our social media contractor and Schools Administration Team on content planning

●      Coordinating venue hire marketing collateral and patron experience materials

●      Coordinating and/or producing print collateral — prospectuses, brochures, show programs and foyer material

●      Supporting merchandise design and coordinating sponsorship acknowledgement in show programs

●      Assisting with professional photography and content shoot logistics

About You

You're an organised, self-motivated marketer who thrives on variety and can move comfortably between strategic thinking and hands-on production. You'll bring:

●      Experience across social media, website content management (WordPress) and eDM platforms (Mailchimp)

●      Working knowledge of Google Ads and/or Google Analytics

●      Basic graphic design skills (Canva and/or Adobe Suite)

●      Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities across multiple brands

●      Excellent written communication and attention to detail

●      Flexibility to work occasional evenings/weekends around performances and events

●      A current Working with Children Check, or the ability to obtain one

Experience in the not-for-profit, arts, or education sectors is a bonus but not essential, what matters most is your ability to juggle a varied workload independently and bring energy and initiative to the role.

What We Offer

●      A creative, purpose-driven not-for-profit environment

●      Free staff parking

●      A short tram ride from Melbourne CBD, three minutes from the beach

●      Complimentary tickets to Ballet, Drama School and Theatre productions (subject to availability)

●      Staff and family discounts on part-time and short courses

●      Ongoing professional development opportunities
