Apolitical
Careers at Apolitical
Apolitical is the first global platform for government that helps public servants find the ideas, experts and partners they need to solve the hardest challenges facing our societies. Our mission is to build 21st century governments that work for people and the planet.
The need to seek solutions across borders in government has never been greater. Yet public servants still often google or phone a friend to find policy ideas that affect millions of lives. Apolitical was created to change this. We offer public servants:
Communities: Online spaces for public servants to connect & exchange ideas
Courses: Online courses designed with the needs of 21st century public servants in mind
Events: Interactive online events with experts in government
We were named one of the world’s 100 most disruptive companies in 2017 by Disrupt100 and one of Fast Company's 10 Most Innovative Companies in Social Good in 2018.
Escape's take on Apolitical
Whether we like or dislike government, love it or despair of it, most of us can agree that government plays a critical role in solving our hardest challenges. And Apolitical is on a mission to help the government do this. And by no mean feat - they do this with a peer network of public service professionals, sharing solutions, skills and ideas efficiently. All amounting in actions that impact many millions of people around the world. A worthy mission for any ambitious Escapee.

Overall
Apolitical is unusual (in my experience!) in that it genuinely feels like its online presence suggests it might - it has the same warmth, informality and sparky freshness. Someone once described the culture to me as 'trust-driven' and I think that's spot on. Employees are trusted to do the work in the way, location and times that suit them, and this trust is repaid in levels of commitment and enthusiasm. The company attracts extremely smart, kind people and provides a working environment that's both supportive and challenging.Employee
