Careers at On Purpose London
Since 2010, On Purpose has been working with changemakers, optimists, and aspiring leaders who want to change the current state of the system. We help people transform their careers, develop as leaders and increase the capacity of the impact-driven economy. We are a broad community that helps you find your place in the world through doing work that matters and work you care about. We believe that only by growing the impact-driven sector through developing new leaders will we have a chance of solving society's most difficult problems.
Our world needs an economy that works for everybody and operates within the means of our planet and without the injustices of today. To achieve this will require innovative thinking, creativity and diversity of thought and experience. On Purpose, therefore, welcomes applications from people with diverse backgrounds and experiences and people often under-represented in the impact sector including from all ethnicities, those with disabilities, from all cultural and socio-economic backgrounds, gender identities, sexualities and religions.
Join us on our mission to drive widespread change in how our economy works and bring about a fair and equitable society.
Our Mission & Vision
We believe in putting purpose before profit.
Escape's take on On Purpose London
On Purpose is a community that aims to develop leaders for purpose-driven organisations. We have a shared philosophy of helping people to do work that matters and work that you care about, so we're delighted to see them make the Escape 100 list for another year running. Their landmark Associate programme is a career-changing venture that helps you to do real work in purpose-driven organisations, while undertaking an intensive learning and development programme. With such a direct impact on people's careers, their employees were some of the most satisfied of this year's competition.

📣 Mission & Purpose
Many organisations claim to be purpose driven, but few define purpose and design their programmes around that definition. I am proud to be part of an organisation tackling a huge complex problem with smart, innovative solution that truly transforms people to transform the economy. Finding On Purpose has completely changed my perspective on work/life, and helped me shed (or at least draw attention to) some unhelpful / unhealthy beliefs and assumptions. Its fun, inspiring and most definitely on a mission!
👻 Transparency
On Purpose is open and transparent with their business model. There is no sales spiel - passionate people talk from the heart. People's experience & recommendations - that's what fuels the pipeline, not big marketing spend.
👭 Inclusivity
There is never a meeting goes by when everyone has not been invited to speak. We always take the time to check in with each other at the start of a call, make sure we invite everyone's voice in the space. People listen, which makes you feel heard.
Overall
Tom Rippin and the city teams are so kind, positive, smart and creative. I never feel that being imperfect is a problem, and I always feel appreciated and supported when I ask for help. There is a real desire for improvement, and, whilst its not always easy, conflict and challenge are part of growth, the desire to listen, be heard, and work together feels strong. - J

📣 Mission & Purpose
It's a privilege to be working towards a mission that recognises the importance of transforming mindsets and developing people to transform the economy. The continuous growth and transformation that I witness in individuals, as well as the opportunity to be a catalyst for broader systemic change, make working at On Purpose an incredibly fulfilling and rewarding experience.
📖 Opportunities to learn
One of the best things about working at On Purpose is the emphasis on continuous learning. We can join the high quality training provided for the Associate Programme on Fridays, and leadership arrange regular 'all team' learning with our Paris and Berlin teams. We also have a budget available that we can invest in external training courses, allowing us to further expand our knowledge and skills.
👩👧👧 Team members
I'm lucky to be part of an amazing team at On Purpose. We have a collaborative environment where everyone is encouraged to be their authentic selves. We enjoy giving each other feedback (and create opportunities to do this) to help us grow, and we make sure to have regular team outings and lunches, which brings us closer together.
