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.

We believe that a diversity of experiences and perspectives will help us build stronger strategies, teams and movements. We take the broadest possible view of diversity and encourage First Nations people, people of colour, people living outside of cities, people living with disabilities, neurodiverse, and LGBTQIA+ people to apply. We are continually working on becoming a better workplace for everyone. 

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. 

Key Responsibilities

• Lead auto supply chain campaign strategy development, execution, and evolution over time, bringing a global and strategic orientation, and integrated JEDI perspective to the work and partner collaboration;

• Coordinate and facilitate partner organizations—and engage new partners as the campaign progresses—including hosting group calls and direct partner engagement, building and maintaining collaborative relationships, and grantmaking;

• Proactively support partners in the campaign’s development and execution, and bring partners together in important activation moments;

• Coordinate with communications partner (team member or contractor / consultant) on campaign content scoping, planning, and execution, including digital, press, and OOH;

• Work in close partnership with the Auto Program Director and Auto Program colleagues on campaign direction and evolution, OKR tracking, coalition engagement, cross-campaign opportunities (e.g. EV transition priorities), budget and grantmaking, and periodic funder engagement;

• 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.

Required skills and experience

• At least 7 years’ experience in a similar or related role including unpaid, grassroots or lived experience;

• A passion for action on climate change and a commitment to social justice;

• Ability to learn and work through complexity quickly, and a well-developed understanding of corporate power in relation to climate change action (and inaction);

• Demonstrated experience developing and clearly articulating effective strategies to drive change in complex systems;

• Demonstrated experience managing campaign strategy and implementation, preferably at a global level;

• Collaborative mindset and a demonstrated ability to work effectively in alliance with diverse stakeholders;

• Excellent interpersonal communication and group facilitation skills;

• Strong organization and coordination skills and attention to detail;

Desirable Skills and Experience

• Auto and/or auto supply chain knowledge / experience;

• Climate campaigning experience;

• Corporate pressure campaign experience.

Thank you for your interest in joining the team at the Community Transport Association (CTA). Community transport supports people to live independently, participate in their communities and access local services and amenities.

Community transport operators have a great story to tell and it's CTA’s job to help them tell it and to support them to develop excellent services that can transform lives and communities. We champion, connect, support and grow a thriving community transport movement across all parts of the UK. Our work across the UK is integral to this. We have around 1,200 members and many other stakeholders that all help to provide accessible and inclusive transport solutions in their community.

CTA is funded by the Department for Transport and the devolved Governments in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to provide leadership and support community transport operators and other charities and community groups that organise transport for their service users to help them participate in the activities they lead.

CTA has recently received 12 months funding from the Department for Transport to deliver an innovative "Tackling Loneliness through Community Transport Project." Described as a life line by people who are socially isolated, community transport helps people maintain contact with friends, family, and their wider community and it plays a vital role in enabling social inclusion, access, mobility and choice. Our programme, along with funding and testing the effectiveness of a range of pilot transport interventions will also support a Peer Network for cross-fertilization of ideas and co-create resources for a Knowledge Building virtual hub all aimed at tackling loneliness through community transport.
