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.

Do you have excellent organisational skills, an eye for detail and a passion for the natural world? Are you looking for a role where you can use your well-honed administrative skills to help save nature? If your answer is ‘Yes!’ then the role of Senior Administrator with the RSPB’s Kent & Essex team could be for you.
We are looking for someone to provide the essential day-to-day administrative support for our work, where everyday tasks such as organising, participating in and documenting meetings, managing information, processing invoices and expenses, and supporting colleagues with our business systems and processes will form the foundations of your role. But with several ambitious projects underway across the region, you could be involved in a broad and ever-changing range of work from supporting project evaluation and the recruitment of staff and volunteers to contacting Local Authorities about how they can help protect turtle dove. There will be plenty of opportunities for you to develop your skills, knowledge and experience, both through your work and the RSPB’s in house learning and development resources.
To thrive in this role, you’ll be a confident multi-tasker with an organised and adaptable approach to your work. You’ll have strong communication skills, plenty of initiative and the ability to build and maintain effective relationships with our staff and volunteers, partner organisations and everyone that we work with and for. You’ll ensure that complex confidential and sensitive matters are handled appropriately, and the RSPB is represented in a positive manner. Due to the dispersed nature of the England team, the majority of our meetings take place virtually via Microsoft Teams. There is flexibility regarding where you work, but there will be expectations to travel occasionally for face-to-face team meetings.
What we need from you:
- Enthusiasm, energy and flexibility.
- Able to communicate effectively with a wide range of audiences by phone, email or in person.
- Extensive knowledge of Microsoft Office applications (especially Outlook, Word, Excel and PowerPoint)
- Knowledge of document management and team collaboration tools.
- Able to organise meetings and events, from the small to the very large and coordinate all aspects of the meeting or event.

About the Post
The Fabian Society is seeking a skilled and committed RESEARCHER or SENIOR RESEARCHER to deliver high-impact policy projects that will help reshape left-wing politics.
As a member of our research team we will support you to develop your skills and create opportunities for you to:
- Lead robust, high-impact research projects and be at the heart of policy development on the left
- Write your own research papers on some of the most important issues facing the country
- Work on both the politics and policy of major issues – using techniques including focus groups, opinion polls, data analysis and expert consultation
- Become the society’s expert on key policy topics and have room to develop in areas that interest you
- Meet with leading politicians and campaigners to discuss your research and debate new policy ideas
- Pitch projects to funders and secure financial backing for the work you want to do
- Have the opportunity to write articles for leading media outlets and seek coverage and broadcast opportunities for your work
- Represent the society and present your research at seminars, events and conferences
Our research projects cover four broad areas of interest:
- Politics and power – electoral strategy, political reform, unequal power
- State and society – social challenges, the welfare state, tax and spend
- Economy and work – economic reform, the future of work
- Green and global – climate change, the UK in the world
Right now we are undertaking research in areas including: alternatives to ‘levelling up’; designing a national care service; making productivity gains benefit workers; reforming maternity rights, sick pay and social security; and private pensions reform.
We have more projects in the pipeline and you will have the chance to shape our work programme with your own ideas and research.
About the organisation
The Fabian Society has been shaping and influencing politics and public policy for over 130 years.
We are an independent left-wing think tank and democratic membership society with over 7,000 members. We publish articles and reports, conduct research and major inquiries, convene conferences and events and facilitate our members’ political debate and activism across the UK. Our employees share the aims and values of the society and automatically join as members upon appointment.
The society is affiliated to the Labour party though we are editorially and organisationally independent. Four senior frontbenchers sit on our executive committee and our researchers work closely with senior Labour figures to develop policies that can be adopted by the party.
With 2 years to go until the next UK election, now is an exciting time to join the society’s small but focused research team and work on policy projects that will have a real impact on UK politics.
We are a small organisation and you will be able to lead and shape our programme and represent us externally. You’ll be a member of a team of three research staff, who are part of a staff team of 12 that also cover events, communications, editorial and membership. The society’s offices are in Westminster, central London.
Location
We welcome and encourage applications from people who don’t live in commuting distance of London: our research director is mainly based in Manchester and visits the office fortnightly. We are a UK-wide organisation and believe policy research is too London-centric.
Flexible working options can be discussed at interview stage, but feel free to get in touch before applying if you have any questions.

With CBM you can help reach the world’s forgotten people
Too many people face poverty and isolation, denied the chance to go to school or earn and living, just because they have a disability. CBM works in the world’s poorest places to prevent blindness, improve health and transform the lives of people with disabilities.
With 45 UK staff we’re currently raising £9m each year; as part of a Global Federation we’re working in 48 countries. This is a truly exciting time to join us at the start of our ambitious new ‘Breaking Barriers’ strategy, as we fight to end the cycle of poverty and disability.
