About The Sunrise Project

The Sunrise Project is a dynamic team of experienced changemakers on a mission to scale social movements and drive the global transition from fossil fuels to clean energy.

With a unique model of grant-making and campaigning, The Sunrise Project operates with a strong focus on achieving large-scale, global impact. Today, Sunrise is a global network of three independent organisations that share a common mission and values, driving aligned strategies.

As a key player in the climate action movement, The Sunrise Project has a significant presence in Australia, with a team of over 150 people across 20 countries and a grant making portfolio that funds over AUD $80 million per year to a network of over 250 organisations.

Key Responsibilities
  • Strategic Leadership: Develop and implement the Australian strategy and program to drive the transition from fossil fuels to clean energy and shift Australia from climate change laggard to leader.
  • Program & People Management: Support, mentor, and manage a team of experienced Program Directors to develop, implement, and evaluate high-impact programs aligned to vision.
  • Championing Culture: Nurture a vibrant, innovative, inclusive, and life-affirming culture that supports everyone in the team to thrive and unleash their collective power to drive impact.
  • Budget & Resource Planning: Manage program budgets and resource planning processes to maximise funding outcomes and impact aligned to mission.
  • Cross-cutting Strategy and Horizon Scanning: Identify emerging opportunities and respond to maximise impact in a rapidly changing world.
  • Partnership & Philanthropy: Represent The Sunrise Project and foster relationships with climate movement organisations, the community, Government, business, and philanthropic partners.
  • Global Network Collaboration: Play an active leadership role across the Sunrise network to drive the overall impact of global initiatives.
About You

You are an experienced and collaborative leader who knows what it takes to create a vibrant and inclusive culture that unleashes the power of the collective to change the world.

With a track record of complex program and campaign delivery and leadership, you have a deep understanding of the political landscape in Australia, how power operates, and the different roles that diverse actors in social movements can play to drive transformation at pace and scale.

You are a natural collaborator and influencer who builds trusted relationships across diverse stakeholders to drive outcomes. You have a high risk appetite, are willing to push boundaries to turn ideas into real-world change, and have a knack for articulating strategies into simple and compelling ways to engage others on the journey.

The Benefits

This is a rare opportunity to lead social movement programs and networked campaigns that will deliver climate action at scale.

Working as part of a global network, you will enjoy collaborating with and learning from innovative thought leaders around the world and building lasting relationships with leading social movements and philanthropic leaders.

Alongside an attractive salary package, you will enjoy remote and hybrid working flexibility, autonomy to manage your life/work balance, annual retreats, occasional international travel, and above-statutory superannuation entitlements.

The Sunrise network believes diversity of experiences and perspectives drive stronger strategies, teams, and movements, so you will also enjoy, and actively contribute to, an inclusive and connected culture.
