This is your opportunity to play a key role in the campaign for a democratic alternative to the monarchy.

You will play a leading role in delivering logistical support for Republic's protests and events, as well as managing membership, support and shop enquiries and supporting the Operations Manager and CEO in a range of tasks.

Republic is continuing to develop its protests alongside more robust campaigns, while also seeking rapid growth in membership and supporter numbers. This is your chance to help us deliver those objectives.

Operations support officer

The role

Your role will include:

  • Manage the enquiries email inbox, prioritising the workload and replying to a wide variety of queries and requests
  • Assist with the monitoring of Republic phone messages, replying to those who need a response and handling queries over the phone
  • Assist the Operations Manager with internal administration and other matters that arise from time to time.
  • Assist the Operations Manager with day-to-day monitoring of Republic Shop, including processing orders and dealing with enquiries
  • Support the Operations Manager in the development and delivery of successful events through efficient and timely logistical support
