If you love working with social movements and bringing diverse groups together to tackle the issues affecting them — we want to hear from you. You’ll bridge the gap between national organisations driving economic systems change and grassroots campaigners living the consequences of economic decisions every day — whether that’s stagnant incomes, the cost of living crisis, housing, access to care and public services, rising polarisation or the impacts of climate change.

ECU has a strong track record in movement building, and now we’re ready to go further. Your core focus will be building deep, trusting relationships with communities — especially with people experiencing multiple forms of marginalisation — and strengthening their capacity, connections, and opportunities to collaborate on changing our economy. This is a rare opportunity to shape the growth of a pivotal movement.
