About The Sunrise Project

The Sunrise Project is a dynamic organization driven by a passion to solve the climate crisis. Our team of experienced changemakers is dedicated to scaling social movements to drive the global transition from fossil fuels to clean energy.

Founded in Australia in 2012, we operate with a unique model of grant-making and campaigning to achieve large-scale, global impact. Today, Sunrise is a global network of three independent organizations that share a common mission and values and drive aligned strategies.

With 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 organizations, our team is having a globally significant impact on the defining issue of our time.

Our Mission

To drive impact, The Sunrise Project essentially does six things:

  1. Analyze political, social, and economic systems driving the climate crisis;
  2. Develop strategies for multi-partner efforts to create systemic change;
  3. Partner with philanthropy to resource these strategies;
  4. Fund diverse networks of organizations and support them to drive collective impact;
  5. Support organizations and movements to sharpen their strategies and build their capacity to achieve real-world outcomes; and
  6. Drive strategic interventions that will hasten the transition beyond fossil fuels.
The Australian Program Director Opportunity

Reporting to the new role of Australian Chief Executive Officer (CEO), the Australian Program Director will drive the critical mission of transforming Australia from laggard to leader on climate change and amplify energy transition initiatives worldwide.

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

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

Working as part of a global network, you will enjoy collaborating with and learning from innovative thought leaders around the world and build 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.
