Why us?

WeMove Europe is an independent and values-based organisation that seeks to build people power to transform Europe in the name of our community, future generations and the planet. We are people from all walks of life, who call Europe our home – whether we were born in Europe or elsewhere.

Our job is to move a community of almost a million people across Europe on issues that matter - including the climate emergency, migrant rights, workers rights, better governance, and more. We know this number of people also needs to grow and diversify further so we can represent a strong critical mass that can bring about change in Europe.

We are...

• A remote-first team working across borders and time zones
• Driven by an urgent, ambitious mission with people at its heart
• Innovating the next generation of tools for people-powered campaigning
• Committed to a culture of trust, collaboration, and impact over ego
• A place where your voice counts and your work drives real change

What we offer

• Working hours: 26-28 hours per week
• Contract type: 1 year employment, with a view to a permanent contract
• Location: Germany (preferably Berlin)
• Benefits: 30 paid vacation days on a full-time basis, home office equipment, performance reviews, annual in-person meetings, and much more!
• Salary ranges: 28,000 - 32,000 year gross salary (Berlin 5% higher). This range is indexed to local living costs. Final salary calculations are based on city living cost indexes and can differ depending on your location.

We are committed to being a diverse and inclusive workplace which is why people from communities that experience discrimination on the basis of race; ethnicity; gender; people with disabilities; and LGBTQ+ people are especially encouraged to apply.

We encourage applications if you feel you fit most but not all of the criteria.

We do not hold the belief that working in an NGO is necessarily only for young people and encourage also those who left their twenties and thirties behind to apply.

About us

WeMove Europe is an international campaigning organisation that seeks to build people power to transform Europe on issues that matter including climate emergencies, migrant rights, workers rights, better governance and more.

At the centre of what we do are two key beliefs: that people hold the power to drive change, and that the Europe we live in today needs real, deep-rooted transformation so that its politics reflect the needs of people and planet rather than corporations and profit.

When we all take action together we create something bigger than ourselves and build momentum for real political change. That is when politicians start listening to us, when big business feels the pressure, when hope becomes a reality.

And when we become unstoppable!
