Careers at The Sunrise Project

The Sunrise Project drives interventions to accelerate the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy.

Solving a problem as complex as climate change requires systemic changes: shifting public opinion and political norms, rewriting laws, and redirecting financial flows. The Sunrise Project has developed a unique model of changemaking where we identify key leverage points, design strategic interventions, and organise diverse networks to make them happen. We move fast, take risks, and have a track record of globally significant impact. We play a quarterback role, pursuing ambitious plays to change the game - but always as part of a team.

Escape's take on The Sunrise Project

The Sunrise Project is the kind of organisation that makes you think: why isn’t everyone doing this? They’re taking a unique approach to campaigning, that builds the power of social movements to win large scale change that would not be possible by individual organisations acting alone. This includes tackling climate change, promoting sustainable food systems and stopping deforestation. Their approach is working - so far they have supported activists to stop 17 major new fossil fuel projects, run the biggest-ever clean energy campaign in Australia, and more. They’re a certified B Corporation, have great employee reviews, and sound like a whole lot of fun to work for.
