It uses cutting-edge investigative methods to uncover and expose wrongdoing.

Most importantly, our work has helped persuade governments in rich countries to accept the need for regulatory action to address their role. A number of relevant laws are in development, while others are already on the books. But if these laws are to work they need to be properly designed and enforced.
Earthsight is looking for a Researcher/Campaigner with at least three years of experience in a relevant field to join our growing team. At this critical moment of opportunity, the post holder will be responsible for coordinating Earthsight’s efforts to ensure that the right laws are passed and then properly implemented.

Earthsight is an equal opportunities employer and is committed to ensuring careers in the charity sector are open to all. We value difference and believe it enhances our capabilities.

About Earthsight
Earthsight is a non-profit organisation committed to harnessing the power of primary investigative research and reporting to bring attention to pressing issues of human rights and environmental justice. We aim to get to the core of an issue, using a range of investigative research methods to obtain first-hand, documented evidence of crimes against both people and the planet which is irrefutable and impossible to ignore. By following the money and tracing supply chains, our research also aims to expose the complicity of consumers and financiers in abetting these abuses. Our award-winning research and reporting, identifying abuses and tracking the associated products to their end markets, have received high-profile attention and led to changes in the policies of governments, corporations and financial institutions.
