This is a rare opportunity to help shape an ambitious new organisation that exists to train, support and mobilise anonymous groups of senior staff from powerful industries who are working for a more just and regenerative world.

You’ll be one of the earliest staff members in a dedicated team and will play a key leadership role as we grow. We are looking for someone who comes with strong operational and management experience in new and growing organisations as well as the ability to represent the organisation publicly.

If you feel you are stronger in one of these areas and not the other, please state in your application and we’d be open to splitting the role if we find the right combination of candidates.

We are looking for someone who is entrepreneurial and wants to support our growth, is able to be a powerful spokesperson for the work, is committed to diversity, equity and inclusion and isoperationally very strong. It’s a lot to ask but we are sure you are out there!

We are open to candidates from any and all sectors, whilst understanding of major industries is a bonus. The main thing is that this feels like it could be a dream job for you.

You’ll lead the development of the systems, processes and approaches we use to create safe, confidential insider movements. You will help us attract senior professionals who are loyal to their companies and their industries and also loyal citizens who are worried about the world and feel the need to ‘do something’.

You’ll contribute to everything from the development of our methodology, to business planning, tech and systems development in a highly complex area of work. You’ll also represent the voice of insiders in a range of public and private forums.

This role is suited to someone who is comfortable working independently in a fast-evolving context, who combines strategic clarity with strong operational delivery, and who is motivated by the challenge of building something new.

This is a hands‑on role. There is no delivery team to delegate to, so comfort with rolling up your sleeves is essential.

See  for more information.

We expect you will bring 8+ years’ experience across a career that covers operations, being a spokesperson and supporting the development of teams.

More than your CV, we’re looking for a thoughtful individual who:

• Has experience building new initiatives
• Is confident working in high‑trust environments and supporting others to act boldly
• Is a strong facilitator
• Is an experienced spokesperson
• Is tech savvy and thoughtful about use of tools that can enhance our work
• Can work collaboratively with partners across civil society, philanthropy, business and media
• Brings a clear‑eyed view on project management — able to write clearly, distill insight, and keep things on track
• Has a strong sense of purpose, and a belief in the role industry can play in meeting social and environmental challenges
• Emotionally resilient and comfortable working in complex, high‑trust environments — including when navigating disagreement, organisational politics, or conflicting perspectives with calm, empathy and clarity
• Is operationally very strong and driven to improve operations and processes
• Is committed to the development of others in their team

We are particularly interested in candidates who have had to build things with limited resources and navigate diverse stakeholder dynamics.

We are open to corporate executives ready for a new challenge, management…
