Would you like to be part of a global movement of changemakers?
Catalyst is seeking a Collaborations Intern

Launched at the World Economic Forum in January 2020, Catalyst 2030 is a global community of social entrepreneurs, funders and other social change innovators who believe collaborative action and bold, new strategies are needed to address the crises of our time.

Joining forces with communities, governments, businesses, funders and others, Catalyst 2030 members are working toward changing systems at all levels. Cumulatively, members have already impacted the lives of millions, often with limited resources. Together, we envision the advancement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for all.

About the role

The Collaborations Team uses collaborations to accelerate systems change. We’re interested in testing the different ways that impactful collaborations happen, to see what works to accelerate change. To achieve scale, we realise that we cannot work alone. We work with people within and outside of the sector. The role of the Collaborations Team is to support members to create successful collaborations – proving that ‘me’ has to shift to ‘we’ in order to achieve systemic change.

Catalyst 2030 offers interns the opportunity to work with an international team, and to challenge themselves within the context of a vibrant and growing organisation.
