About Us
Driven by a passion to solve the climate crisis, The Sunrise Project U.S. is a team of experienced change-makers with a mission to scale social movements to drive the global transition beyond fossil fuels. With affiliated programs and staff in Australia and Europe, we have developed a unique model of grant making and campaigning that supports networks of organizations to drive powerful change towards our mission.
We have a dynamic and nimble organisational culture. We’re serious about supporting our people to thrive as we tackle the urgent climate challenge.

About You
You are impact-focused and can work through complexity to identify what is needed to make change happen, and want to roll up your sleeves to make it happen.
You have a track record leading effective campaigns that win real world outcomes, leveraging your strong grasp of politics, policy and strategy, analysis, facilitation, and campaign skills.
You bring a global orientation and well-developed JEDI perspective to the work, to partnerships, and to collaboration.
You are a collaborative leader and facilitator, and effective listener and communicator that can thoughtfully work towards outcomes with a group.
You build strong relationships with diverse partners and stakeholders, internally and externally, and can have honest and sensitive conversations.
You are structured and organized and can be responsive when circumstances necessitate quick change.
You are excited to build and grow something new to drive automakers and their supply chain out of fossil fuels.
About The Role
The auto sector is a major source of emissions and as the EV transition accelerates, life-cycle emissions will shift from the tailpipe to the carbon-intensive supply chain, in particular: steel, aluminum, and battery minerals. The Auto Program works on both—the EV transition and the supply chain—and this new role will focus on the latter: ending fossil fuels and inequities in the auto supply chain.
This role will shape the auto supply chain campaign’s strategy and direction, near- and long-term planning, target prioritization, and execution in close collaboration with partner organizations. It will involve regular listening, facilitation, support, and activation with campaign partners—from activists to researchers, existing and new—in order to create real world change towards shared goals. This role will work in collaboration with the Auto Program Director and colleagues on closely related EV transition priorities, wider Auto program planning, and funder conversations as needed; as well as explore and pursue strategic cross-program opportunities in collaboration with other Sunrise program teams.
We support networks of organizations to work together to achieve outcomes that would not be possible by individual organizations acting alone. We expect all roles at Sunrise to actively support the capacity building of these networks and partner organizations.

-
Work in close partnership with Sunrise colleagues on cross-program opportunities, including Finance team priorities and other program areas;
-
Contribute to a high performing, collaborative, and sustainable team environment, living and fostering Sunrise’s culture and values.
