About the role

The Institute of Modern Art (IMA) celebrates its fiftieth anniversary this year. It is one of Australia’s leading independent contemporary art spaces—and its oldest. Since 1975, it has been the hub of the Brisbane’s contemporary-art scene, presenting an annual program of exhibitions, public programs, publications, and offsite programs by local, national, and international artists. Through its ambitious programs—which include exhibitions, events, publications, and offsite projects—it seeks to amplify voices, ignite curiosity, and inspire change through contemporary art. It’s an exciting time for the IMA.

We are looking for a Marketing and Development Assistant to support the delivery of our anniversary marketing campaign and implementation of the organisation’s development strategy, under the guidance of the Assistant Director Marketing and Development.

About You

You are an enthusiastic self-starter who is energised by stakeholder engagement. With a working knowledge of the visual arts sector, you are passionate about communicating the value of the Institute of Modern Art to prospective visitors, patrons, and donors to expand the gallery’s highly engaged audiences and philanthropic stakeholder groups. You will work across day-to-day marketing and communications activities and contribute to the success of the fiftieth anniversary program, including the IMA Gala, anniversary public programs, and the annual Commissioners Circle dinner. The role will require occasional work outside office hours, which will be compensated with time in lieu.
