This is a (really) rare chance to join the Brown Women Comedy / Australian South Asian Centre team in an operational role.

Brown Women Comedy is Australia’s only feminist and besharam (shameless) comedy show featuring under-represented Indian and South Asian women comedians across major festivals. It’s not just about comedy, dedicated to promoting diversity, feminism, and social change. We use humour as a tool to challenge societal norms and de- stigmatise taboo subjects around mental health, shame, sexuality, and racism. We’re defining culture, one comedy show at a time.

Australian South Asian Centre (ASAC) creates space for South Asian women’s creativity, culture and leadership. ASAC is dedicated to amplifying the voices of South Asian founders, creatives and professionals. Read our impact reporthere

Love storytelling, humour, social media, and creating content that actually makes an impact? We’re looking for someone who’s curious, creative, super pro-active and passionate about amplifying women of colour (be it comedians, creatives or social entrepreneurs).

You’ll be joining a tiny but mighty ops team (our founder, co-founder & volunteer committee of 4 people), so we’re after someone collaborative, who works at a fast pace and is excited to help shape the next chapter of Brown Women Comedy and Australian South Asian Centre. If you love storytelling, social media, spicy humour and championing women of colour, this might be your perfect gig.

What you’ll be doing:

Content creation, editing, and repurposing across Instagram and LinkedIn (12–16 Instagram posts per month, 4–6 reels per month, Monthly content calendar)
Creating a mix of content –from stories of South Asian change makers to comedy content (Think bold. witty. shameless. hilarious. thoughtful. vulnerable. resonant. fresh. honest. relatable. playful. well-crafted. empowering.)
Coming up with content ideas and planning the content calendar (with feedback and support)
Writing copy & content for our newsletter and email outreach (monthly newsletter)

You’ll thrive in this role if you:

Love learning, experimenting, and giving new things a go

Feel confident filming others and editing short-form content (you don’t need to be in front of the camera, but behind it is a must)
Are comfortable editing and creating shorter reels from longer videos. (think finding the funniest jokes from a one hour set)
Are available some weekends or evenings to help capture content (especially during comedy season - mid march to mid April)
Are super organised and get genuine joy from ticking things off a checklist – we live in Monday.com and love a good system
Communicate clearly and kindly – we’re a small team, so honesty, clarity, and a respectful, collaborative approach really matter
Proactively seek feedback and see it as a chance to grow – we’re always learning too and genuinely welcome feedback on how we can do things better
Are genuinely excited about culture, community, comedy, poetry & empowering women of colour
Bring big golden retriever energy – kind, curious, enthusiastic, and ready to jump in
Meticulous and proactive about documenting systems and processes as you go, and always on the lookout for ways to work smarter – whether that’s through better systems, streamlined workflows, or automating the repeatable stuff where we can (huge bonus if like playing around with Zapier & AI tools)
Don’t mind a bit of organised chaos – things move quickly here and no two weeks look the same (for better or worse)
Want to be part of something meaningful and help shape the Brown Women Comedy / ASAC story as we grow

Perks:
