New York/Remote

About Purpose

Purpose is a revolutionary and rapidly growing social business with deep expertise in creating and scaling movements that have significant social impact. We create and launch new ventures and organizations in the areas where we can make the most difference, and deploy our experience as movement creators to consult to the world’s leading corporations, foundations and non-profits, helping put purpose and participation at the core of what they do.

ABOUT PURPOSE

We’re Purpose, the global social impact agency. We use creative storytelling and campaigns to shift narratives, spark movements and drive change. Partnering with philanthropies, brands and NGOs to inspire people to reimagine the world, and to harness their power to make it happen. Creative storytelling breaks down barriers to change. People are more likely to get on board with ideas if they can understand, remember and enjoy them. And when people are on board, change begins to happen.

Our movement-building, culture-changing, participatory projects have delivered real impact with our world leading partners, since Jeremy Heimans founded the agency in 2009. And as we’ve grown, our connections around the world have grown too. Yet we’ve never lost sight of what matters, collaborating with underrepresented audiences, impacted communities and unexpected allies, to tackle tomorrow’s biggest problems today with Purpose.

Purpose specializes in; strategy, creative, campaigns, and impact measurement and learning - across the social impact space. We focus on six issue areas we believe are key to our collective future: environment and climate, equity, childhood and youth, democracy and human rights, mis and disinformation, public health.

Our work is recognised widely both in creative industry awards like Cannes Lions and in social impact awards like Anthem. Join the team that made all this work.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
