SumOfUs is a community of people from around the world committed to curbing the growing power of corporations. We want to buy from, work for and invest in companies that respect the environment, treat their workers well and respect democracy. And we’re not afraid to challenge them when they don’t.

In an age of multinational companies that are bigger and richer than some countries, it can be easy to feel powerless. But there is a gap in their defenses. The biggest corporations in the world rely on ordinary people to keep them in business. We are their customers, their employees, and often their investors. When we act together, we can be more powerful than they are. Together, our community of millions act as a global consumer watchdog – running and winning campaigns to hold the biggest companies in the world accountable.

By working with humility and humour, and investing in its people and systems, SumOfUs aims to build the most effective, diverse, and talented global team possible. We are passionate, collaborative and fun to work with. We are always looking for new ways of doing things, and we embrace professional and organisational growth.

This is an exciting opportunity to work with a complex, global nonprofit during a time of transition as we rebuild and refocus our HR functions after a period of growth. The systems that worked with a smaller team are no longer quite right for a team of 35+ staff spread across the globe, so we’re taking a look at what’s working and what can be improved, with the help of a new role dedicated just to HR. We are looking for someone creative, visionary, dedicated to best practices and who is willing to learn and bring their learnings back to the team.
