Company mission
To give everyone the tools, support and confidence to improve their life at work.
Role
Who you are
- An enthusiastic commitment to helping people win better pay and benefits at work.
- A promise to act with integrity at all times. We operate in a high-trust environment and want you to thrive with us. This means you’ll be empowered to innovate, take risks and develop honest and supportive relationships with your colleagues.
- The adaptive nature needed to juggle both long term projects and quick, reactive campaigns as needed; we work to deadlines and things can change quickly around here, so sometimes you’ll need to drop something you’ve spent time working on in response to a change in priority or urgency on the day
What the job involves
- Work with the small staff team on every aspect of communicating with our members. Supporting members to run and win campaigns in their workplace, sending bulk emails and replying to members who get in touch
- Develop creative content, including captivating Facebook ads, or writing an emotive email that inspires hundreds of thousands to take action.
- Performing administrative tasks to ensure the functionality of our communication and organisation
Application process
- Organise is a startup helping everyone in the UK get a fairer deal at work. We’re strengthening workers’ rights by giving employees a new way to shape their workplace. Organise members run dozens of workplace specific campaigns as well as big national campaigns. We put power in people’s hands, building a progressive force for change in the private and public sectors
- The Organise staff team pride ourselves on nimble, focused workplace campaigns. That means our team is decisive, ambitious and happy to take risks. We’re characterised by our energy and enthusiasm; we’d rather aim high and see what happens, than play it safe. We’re passionate about putting Organise members first – we believe change at work happens when more people get involved. There are now over 950,000 people taking action with Organise. We currently operate in the UK, and are aiming to launch in the US in 2021
Salary benchmarks
Our take
The rise of global corporations and the expansion of the gig economy in recent years has put the spotlight on employee rights – particularly as the proportion of UK workers who are members of a trade union continues to decrease. Organise is an early stage startup helping employees in the UK to action changes in their workplace. Through Organise, anyone start their own anonymous campaign and leverage surveys, petitions, crowdfunding and direct outreach to influence the companies they work for and encourage them to change their employment practices.
The company aims to combine the power of collective action, traditionally harnessed by trade unions, with the reach and insight of modern digital campaigns. The platform is seen as complementary to union activities and many of its members are union members too.
To date, Organise has enabled workers to mount successful campaigns against unjust working practices at companies including McDonald’s, Ted Baker, Amazon, Uber and Deliveroo. There are now over a million people in the Organise network – which is currently centred on the UK – although the company is looking to expand to the US, following a successful seed raise.
