Seasonal Fixed Term 70 Day Contract
0.8 FTE - 13 July-13 November
The Marketing Coordinator (Access) plays a hands-on role in ensuring Melbourne Fringe's marketing, communications, and physical Festival presence are inclusive, accessible, and welcoming for d/Deaf and Disabled people. This role supports the delivery of Melbourne Fringe's
marketing activities, from accessible websites, social media content and inclusive community management, to wayfinding and site signage that makes the Festival navigable for everyone.
The Marketing Coordinator (Access) works across digital content, community engagement, and Festival collateral and logistics to help embed access into the day-to-day work of the Marketing team. You'll collaborate with the marketing team, the Program Manager (Access), Access and Disability Lead and Cultural Equity Consultant to ensure inclusive practices are reflected across platforms, content, and physical Festival sites.
Day-to-day, this role focuses on supporting digital and website content updates, managing Fringe's online and email communities, and maintaining community connections with d/Deaf and Disability-led organisations. You'll also take the lead on a meaningful, practical project: planning and delivering wayfinding and directional signage across key Festival sites, approaching this with access front of mind. This is a coordinator-level role best suited to someone who is organised, community-minded, and passionate about inclusion. We're looking for someone who finds purpose in making sure the details are right, whether that's a killer alt text description, a functional and fabulous website page
build, or a sign that helps someone find their way.
Melbourne Fringe democratises the arts. Our vision is cultural democracy – empowering anyone to realise their right to creative expression. We support the development and presentation of artworks by, with and for the people of Melbourne, running the annual Melbourne Fringe Festival, the year-round venue Fringe Common Rooms at Trades Hall, and a range of arts sector leadership programs.
We have evolved across our 41 years, beginning in 1982 as the Fringe Art Network. While we stay committed to our roots – a collaborative encouraging, representing and uniting artists of all disciplines – we have matured to become one of our state’s most significant arts organisations that supports the generation of new work, discovering artists and new ideas. We work year-round as educators, promoters, and creators. We are supporters, we are challengers, we rock the boat and we question the status quo.
