Let’s talk about you

You’re a Systems Thinker and Strategic Executor

You don’t just manage programs; you navigate and design the entire ecosystem. As a forward-looking strategist, you have a knack for seeing around corners. You anticipate shifts and bottlenecks before they surface. You look at what’s coming next and proactively build the frameworks to support it. Moving beyond traditional project management, you translate ambiguity into order. You take complexity and transform it into clear, actionable plans that ensure we are ready for both today’s demands and tomorrow’s challenges.

You’re an Empathetic Leader and Influencer

You know that big changes require big hearts. You are a role model for our values, guiding teams through transformation with transparent communication and support. You’re a natural at coaching, asking the right questions to help your team find their own solutions, and you’re equally skilled at influencing partners outside of your direct remit to adopt new, more efficient ways of working.

You give a crap

Do you want your work to make the world a better place? Do you want to work with other people who feel the same way? What a coincidence — us too!

Why should you work with us?

First off,, we work to make a difference every day while maintaining the highest standards of social and environmental impact. With our most recent score of 125.5 we’re in very good company with other exceptional B Corps around the world.

We also believe that helping to make the world a better place should be rewarded accordingly – that’s why we offer competitive, market informed salaries

• meaningful support towards healthcare for our team around the world
• generous paid leave
• tailored learning and development opportunities
• free toilet paper (yes, you read that right)

Our engagement surveys (thanks Culture Amp!) tell us that our team is really proud (95%) to work for Who Gives A Crap and, well, we couldn't be more proud of that.

Have you made it this far?

If you’re still reading, we think there’s a strong chance you might be our kind of person. Here’s the thing, though — research suggests that 60% of women and underrepresented folks might have already talked themselves out of applying. Even if you don’t check every box above, we want to encourage you to introduce yourself. We believe a diversity of perspectives and experiences makes a team stronger — and the stronger our team, the closer we are to delivering toilets and clean water for all.
