About us
Who we are
The Partnering Initiative is the leading independent not-for-profit dedicated to unleashing the power of partnership for a prosperous and sustainable future. TPI was founded in 2003 around a passionate belief that only through collaboration among business, government, NGOs and the UN can we tackle the greatest environmental, development and resilience challenges and transform societies.
You will be working with a core team (based mainly in the UK) bringing together a unique range of skills and backgrounds. As with any small organisation, each individual juggles multiple roles within TPI. The work is varied and often fast-paced, requiring rapid processing of information from multiple sources, and the ability to act in uncertain or ambiguous situations. Your colleagues are an incredibly supportive bunch, and the team will have your back. We try to practice what we preach when it comes to partnering.
The core team is supplemented by a dynamic international network of individuals and sister organisations, who will join you on projects depending on what is needed. Your ability to build strong relationships quickly with this diverse group of people will be called upon regularly. At TPI, you should be willing to contribute laughter and energy, both in the office and through remote working if relevant. You will get the best from your work with TPI if you are very deliberate about how you want to contribute and how you want to learn.
