SumOfUs is looking for a digital campaigner to help us win campaigns against corporations behaving badly. 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 growing our Spanish-speaking membership and running impactful campaigns. 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 Spanish and English. Right now our list is growing rapidly in Mexico, Colombia and Argentina and we have a preference for someone with familiarity with the political and corporate landscapes in these regions however, we are looking to grow our list globally in Spanish-speaking regions and are looking for someone with global campaigning experience.
This position is full-time, remote and can be undertaken by anyone between GMT -8 and GMT +1.
A bit about usSumOfUs 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 15 million people, brought together by a global team of 35 campaigners, fundraisers, 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.
