About us
The Sunrise Project is a small environmental campaign organization with an oversized impact. Driven by a passion to solve the climate crisis, we are a team of experienced campaigners, researchers and communication professionals. We work behind the scenes to support social movements and advocacy organizations to accelerate the transition away from fossil fuels. We provide analysis, strategy support and funding to a wide range of grassroots organizations and other partners with the aim of protecting the environment and keeping fossil fuels in the ground.
We are exploring and pursuing new strategies to scale up the shift of financial markets out of fossil fuels and into clean energy. Our headquarters are in Sydney, Australia, and our finance program operates from Oakland, California, with additional staff based in Europe and other parts of the United States.
About you
You're a natural campaigner, creative thinker with a strong track record of making change happen. You have a strong strategic sense and an understanding of how power works in the world and want to shift the role of corporate power in our society. You understand how international markets operate either through your experience as a campaigner, in the government, or through your work in the financial sector. You can develop strategy, build a team, manage multiple concurrent projects, across time zones and continents and also feel comfortable working effectively in collaborative teams. You've got exceptional networking and interpersonal communication skills and are just as comfortable working with senior finance industry professionals as with grassroots climate activists.
