  • Community Events: Lead Lime’s presence at community activations, rider education programs, and safety campaigns; coordinate and attend events across Sydney, including some evenings and weekends.

  • Advocacy & Representation: Represent Lime in local council and community meetings to address concerns, share data, and demonstrate Lime’s contribution to sustainable mobility.

  • Program Development: Work closely with the Public Policy, Communications, and Operations teams to design and deliver engagement strategies, integrate community feedback, and prepare clear reporting for councils and internal teams.

  • Local Expertise: Provide insights on Sydney’s transport priorities, council decision-making, and community context to inform Lime’s broader Sydney strategy.

About you:

  • 3+ years of experience in community engagement, transport, local government, advocacy, or partnerships.

  • Strong understanding of Sydney’s transport priorities and council processes.

  • Demonstrated ability to manage multiple stakeholders and deliver projects in fast-paced environments.

  • Passion for sustainable transport and community-building initiatives.
