If you love fighting for change, if you are excited about global economic justice, and if you are hungry to experiment with technology to change the world, then this might be the role for you. 

This role will primarily focus on curbing the abuse of corporate power in Germany, German-speaking countries/regions, and at the EU level and will report to our campaign director in Europe. Our members power our work and we put them at the center of everything we do. This role will be responsible for identifying impactful campaigns, developing winning tactics and leveraging our member’s power to create fundamental shifts in corporate behaviour and to reshape the global economy for the benefit of people and the planet. 

This role requires fluency (written and oral) in German and English. This role also requires familiarity with the political and corporate landscapes in Germany, other German speaking regions, and/or the EU. 

This position is full time and remote and can be undertaken by anyone living between GMT -1 and GMT +2 hours.

A bit about us

SumOfUs is a global movement of consumers, investors, and workers standing together to hold corporations accountable for their actions and forge a new and sustainable path for our global economy.  We are a movement of more than 20 million people, brought together by a global team of 40 campaigners, fundraisers, product and operations staff who are passionate about creating a more caring, equitable society.

We are aiming to fundamentally reshape the global economy to put people and planet over profit, but we know we can not do it alone. We build partnerships with on-the-ground activists and organisers, and we follow their lead. We innovate, experiment and embrace professional and organizational growth. We invest in people and we invest in how we work, because our vision calls on us to build the most effective, global, diverse, and talented team possible.

We highly value a diverse team and an equitable work environment where every member of our team is set up to thrive. We have taken steps to nurture this environment including an Anti-Oppression Leadership Team that leads work to transform injustice within the organization. We expect all team members to take responsibility for co-creating an equitable work community where everyone is able to do impactful, world-changing work. We offer benefits including additional sick days for parents and caregivers, flexible working hours, and professional development stipends. We review our policies and practices for equity frequently. We encourage people identifying with marginalized communities to apply.

What you’ll do as part of our team

• Lead project and campaigns teams with support and oversight from our Campaign Directors to achieve impact, fundraising, and organizational goals;
• Identify, research and develop campaigns targeting corporations in German speaking regions, across Europe, and globally;
• Write and edit (and/or translate) compelling emails to engage and mobilize our members to take action, fundraise, and build our power in Europe;
• Identify and develop fundraising opportunities to raise money to grow our movement and create real-world impact;
• Collaborate with partners and coalitions around campaign opportunities, manage relationships, and advance SumOfUs’s goals;
• Draft press releases and (with support and training) pitch reporters to cover our campaigns; and 
• Assist with managing our membership lists, including monitoring and interpreting how people engage with the emails we send, if the emails are effective in generating action or raising money, and if the email list is growing.

Skills and experiences you’ll need to bring
We have no formal education requirements – if you can meet the responsibilities of the role and are willing to grow, that’s all that matters. 

All roles at SumOfUs require you to:

• Be dedicated to building a fairer and more sustainable global economy;
• Write 1-2 impactful and compelling emails to our member list per week;
• Communicate in English (English is our primary working language at SOU);
• Demonstrate an active commitment to building a diverse, equitable and inclusive work community;
• Work remotely (SumOfUs provides funds to set-up a home office or to work from a co-working space).

This role in particular requires you to:

• Identify and develop inspiring and impactful campaigns;
• Have excellent writing and storytelling skills with a solid understanding of campaigning;
• Have an understanding of political process and how change happens on this level (particularly in Germany or the European Union - you will likely have an understanding of one or both of these regions);
• Have effective team development and leadership skills, experience managing projects and mentoring staff
• Demonstrate a supportive and empathetic people management style with a growth oriented mindset;
• Be keen to learn and develop new skills, be flexible and solutions oriented;

Big pluses

• Why are you applying for this job? (suggested word limit: 200)
• Name two campaigns you think SumOfUs should be running (suggested word limit: 300 words each).
