Project Manager (Corporate Background) - Inside Track
ABOUT US
There are millions of highly educated, well-paid, politically engaged people who care deeply about the world. Every morning, they go to work in professional services firms knowing that the firms they work for and the industries that they are a part of are blockers rather than enablers to a just transition.
They look for ways to ‘make a difference’ internally but fall at every hurdle. They think about quitting but feel financially tied to their jobs. They become accepting of the fact that things are how they are. They become disillusioned and start to feel helplessness and even shame. They offer little value to the transformation that the world needs and that they themselves yearn for.
Inside Track supports professionals working within major industries to come together — often in confidential or anonymous settings — to surface insights and build collective power for an equitable, regenerative future.
ABOUT THE ROLE
The role is a Project Manager at a start-up non-profit looking to create a global movement to support senior professionals in powerful industries to - collectively and anonymously - help drive positive change in their industries.

We are looking for a Project Manager with skills in relationship building, facilitation, research and project management. We are particularly interested in candidates with experience working for large corporations and professional services firms.
This is an amazing opportunity for someone interested in shaping a new and ambitious organisation, and supporting the development of a new method of civil society organising.
PERSON SPECIFICATION
We are looking for someone with at least two years of professional experience who is:
-
Able to work delicately in high trust environments;
-
Able to work collaboratively with partners;
-
Energised to search and recruit for Insiders from a ‘cold’ start (e.g. building new relationships on Linkedin, etc.); and
-
Able to help build the ecosystem which we are a part of.
We will be looking for people who have had to build things from scratch and are used to working with diverse stakeholder groups and holding a strong sense of purpose.
We are particularly interested in candidates with experience working in a corporate environment, including those who have worked at large professional services firms.
HOW TO APPLY
Stage 1: Applicants are requested to apply via CharityJob by 10am on 27th October 2025.
