You should enjoy working in an online environment, using social media and collaborating using online tools. cGO is an exceptionally fast-paced and collaborative work environment. Your co-workers are high-impact, low-ego, and have a deep respect for our supporters.

Normally, Campaigners - Country Managers will have relevant experience in advocacy, media or government – but if you make up for lack of experience with passion and a willingness to learn quickly, you should still apply.

3-5 years of relevant experience is preferred (but not required). A leadership background and a demonstrable passion for cGO’s Mission and Vision is essential. Regardless of experience, we are looking for a passionate, hard-working and organized self-starter who wants to be part of a fast-moving and ambitious organization working for social change.

Strong rapport-building and relationship skills. You can effectively build and maintain partnerships and be a trusted ally among social change campaigners. Network/alliance-building will be a key element of your daily work.

Able to identify and seize opportunities quickly. Campaigning is very moment-driven, so you’ll be comfortable working in an agile and fast-paced environment.

High-level strategic thinker, with a strong grasp of national and international politics and social power. You understand the political and corporate pressure points in the world and current life and family issues at play.

Using your talent, you will influence the decisions of politicians and business people, and put pressure on mass media to make citizens' opinions heard.

Experience in the nonprofit, advocacy, social enterprise and/or tech sectors are strongly desired.

Being London-based is not mandatory. The role will involve some (light) travel.

You’ll be an independent contractor. You’ll get paid on a freelance basis for each campaign you launch. Campaign deliverables will be the online campaign and the email with the call-to-action.

Compensation is competitive, and our organizational culture is results oriented.

A very attractive incentive plan is in place: as many members you help reach, better compensation… Don’t worry about penalizing cGO finances because of your great achievements; in fact, we encourage you to cause cash-flow problems by achieving ambitious member-building objectives.
