Marketing & Communications Volunteer

Volunteering with ALPMA in our Marketing and Communications team is a great opportunity for students to gain professional marketing experience or for professionals to give back to the legal industry.

• Gain experience implementing an organisation’s marketing strategy in the real-world.
• Work in an experienced, distributed (online) team, from anywhere in Australasia.
• Make a difference in a small organisation: get your ideas heard and take on as much responsibility as you're comfortable with.
• Get exposure to the legal and professional services industries, with the potential to gain network contacts.
