Full-time position

Start: ASAP

The B Team is looking for a multidisciplinary Strategist to join our team. The Strategist should be a proactive, strategic thinker who is passionate about The B Team’s vision (a world in which business leadership drives a prosperous and fair future on a healthy planet for all). The strategist should be prepared to both lead and support our work: we are a small, hands-on staff and organize ourselves through flexible teaming in all that we do.

As we transition to a new strategy period (2026-28), The B Team will prioritize engaging with leaders outside our usual circles and pursue a series of catalytic, high impact ‘sprints’. These sprints will be focused, time-bound, intensive efforts designed to unlock momentum, surface insights, and shape what comes next. They will focus on a diverse range of issues - from the ethical and humane use of AI; to testing a new business narrative that frames climate and nature action as a source of competitive advantage; to engaging CEOs and policymakers to spotlight positive incentives and challenge harmful subsidies. Our ways of working will also be diverse - including raising awareness, changing behavior, and strengthening cross-sector collaboration.

Therefore we are looking for someone with the energy and passion to work across the full breadth of our campaigns. We would like to recruit an enthusiastic generalist, rather than a thematic (or disciplinary) specialist. The Strategist should have a diverse skillset, with some experience working in areas such as advocacy, coalition-building and collaboration, policy, and an ambition to grow and diversify their skills further within The B Team.

‍About The B Team‍

The B Team is a global collective of business and civil society leaders working to create new norms of corporate leadership today, for a better tomorrow. Together, B Team leaders are holding themselves and their peers accountable for a new way of doing business—one that measures success not only by financial performance, but also by the health of people and our planet—for the benefit of generations to come.

The B Team is committed to ensuring that our people are respected and valued. We strive to create a positive working culture, one that includes learning. Our culture and agenda reflect our core principles of sustainability, equality and accountability.

Relationship building and management, especially among ‘Worker Bs’ (Leader staff teams) and key strategic partners.

Horizon scanning and foresight. Working with colleagues and partners to identify emerging trends and policy shifts, and identifying opportunities for strategic B Team engagement.
Facilitating convening, which is critical to everything that The B Team does. This could entail convening B Team Leaders; their staff teams; or wider stakeholders across the public, private and civil society sectors.
Event management and logistics, often involving travel in support of B Team Leaders.
Supporting fundraising, grant delivery, and reporting.

The Strategist may also be required to take on other duties as need arises to help drive forward our mission and vision.
