About You

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

As an experienced and purpose-driven leader, 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.

A people-centric and servant leader, you know what it takes to unleash the power of teams and nurture high-impact, creative, joyful, and inclusive organisational culture.

This is a rare opportunity to be a bold leader and deliver positive climate action at the pace needed to preserve an environment that will nurture our generations to come.

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.
