Love storytelling, strategy and making a real impact in your community?

Join Geelong Regional Libraries and help shape how we connect, inspire and engage people across one of Victoria’s most dynamic regions.

About the role

We’re on the lookout for a creative and strategic communicator to join us in early 2026 to lead our talented Communications and Marketing team.

This is a hands‑on leadership role where no two days look the same — one moment you’ll be guiding brand strategy and mentoring a small, high‑performing team; the next you’ll be crafting compelling content, managing media relationships, or jumping into campaign delivery.

You’ll also provide oversight and inspiration across fundraising and partnerships, helping tell Geelong Regional Libraries story in ways that spark generosity, investment and community pride.

If you love connecting big ideas with meaningful outcomes — and enjoy a good brainstorm as much as a good brief — this role has your name on it.

You’ll bring

• A flair for leading creative people and fostering a collaborative, supportive team culture.
• Experience shaping communications and marketing strategies that deliver measurable results.
• Strong storytelling and digital skills — from media to socials to eDMs, you know how to make messages land.
• Confidence juggling priorities in a fast‑paced, purpose‑driven environment.
• A genuine belief in the power of libraries to transform lives and communities.
