Employees at Blue Forest are:
Committed to Continuous Learning

We are deeply committed to prioritizing the leadership of people from communities who are actively targeted by corporate abuse: Black and Indigenous people and other people of color, women, low-income people, people in the Global South, and LGBTQ+ folks around the world. By “Global South,” we mean the state of people and communities around the world, including in the U.S., who are experiencing multiple and intersecting global systems of oppression. Our unique culture has been fostered by a long history of women and queer leadership at the helm. We are actively focusing on the leadership of our staff of color, knowing we are stronger when the organization reflects the vision of the world we’re building together.

If you are applying as a co-director pair, you will collectively possess most of these skills and qualifications.
You may notice that our list of qualifications does not call for specific educational degrees or years of work experience.

We seek someone who can work effectively alongside our dedicated staff, high-level donors and members, grassroots partners, and other allies. Our next leader(s) will be able to hold their own against CEOs and other representatives of transnational corporate power.

The take-away Ready to take on some of the most powerful forces in our society?

Why you’ll love coming to work every day You’ll help change the world by bringing your vision and strategies to our winning campaigns. You’ll be joining an organization that’s not satisfied with the world as it is—and has a vision for how it should be. When your quest is ending corporate abuse, you can’t be afraid to name names and demand what the world needs. For more than 45 years, we’ve been exposing and challenging the abuses of the likes of Nestlé, Chevron, Philip Morris International, Coca Cola, and more. We don’t back down, and we run campaigns until we win. You’ll work with awesome people. Join a team of creative, kind, determined, optimistic, and solutions-oriented folks. We work hard, celebrate victories large and small, and center collaboration. You will keep advancing on your leadership journey. We are all learning and evolving. You’ll thrive here as you develop new skills, tackle new challenges, learn, and grow. And you will also develop leadership opportunities for your Corporate Accountability colleagues. We pay lots of attention to building staff leadership, and we provide support and training to help you grow in your role. You’ll be part of an organization committed to advancing racial equity and transforming systems of oppression. We are deeply committed to prioritizing the leadership of people from communities who are actively targeted by corporate abuse: Black and Indigenous people and other people of color, women, low-income people, people in the Global South, and LGBTQ+ folks around the world. By “Global South,” we mean the state of people and communities around the world, including in the U.S., who are experiencing multiple and intersecting global systems of oppression. Our unique culture has been fostered by a long history of women and queer leadership at the helm. We are actively focusing on the leadership of our staff of color, knowing we are stronger when the organization reflects the vision of the world we’re building together.
What you'll do
For more than four decades, Corporate Accountability has moved millions of people to challenge corporate power through hard-hitting and fearless campaigns that achieve victories for health, human rights, democracy, and the planet. We do this by, among other strategies, exposing corporate abuse, shifting the public climate, and mobilizing people to take action, with a focus on the Global South. Our campaigns are based on research and proven practices. That’s where you come in. We’re looking for an executive director or co-director team to lead a dynamic and fierce organization with an almost 50-year track record of success in curbing corporate power. We've got 50 staff and contractors located around the world, an operating budget of over $8.5 million in 2024, and a healthy reserve fund. The executive leadership will steer and steward Corporate Accountability in a manner that is consistent with our mission and values. The executive director(s) will manage a team of 5-7 senior directors with responsibility for research, policy, racial equity, communications, membership, fundraising, campaigns, and operations. Our executive director(s) will direct strategy, improve organizational performance, and shape culture while overseeing day-to-day activities. Reporting to an engaged 10-person Board of Directors, the executive leader(s) will ensure Corporate Accountability’s finances are healthy, and our performance and results are mission-driven and effective.
Who you are Corporate Accountability seeks a strategic, experienced, innovative, and values-aligned leader or pair of co-leaders to guide us through the next chapter of the organization as we strive to counter the power of corporate abuse. While no one person is likely to tick every box on our wish list, the successful candidate will demonstrate most of the following qualifications. If you are applying as a co-director pair, you will collectively possess most of these skills and qualifications.
You may notice that our list of qualifications does not call for specific educational degrees or years of work experience. We are looking for a visionary, strategic, confident, and practical leader or co-leaders. We seek someone who can work effectively alongside our dedicated staff, high-level donors and members, grassroots partners, and other allies. Our next leader(s) will be able to hold their own against CEOs and other representatives of transnational corporate power.
We value leadership whether it is forged in formal education or practical experience; in one’s personal life or on the job. We welcome qualified candidates from a wide range of backgrounds. If you don’t exactly fit preconceived ideas of executive leadership or our stated qualifications, but you know you have skills and experiences that are transferable to this position, please apply! Tell us about yourself and why you should be Corporate Accountability’s next executive director or co-director team.
Experienced Social Justice Campaigner

About Blue Forest
Blue Forest is a conservation finance non-profit whose mission is to accelerate the pace and scale of ecological restoration. Since 2018, Blue Forest has managed investor capital through its flagship financial product, the Forest Resilience Bond (FRB), which deploys private capital to finance forest restoration projects on private and public lands to reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfires. More recently, Blue Forest has also established Blue Forest Asset Management (BFAM), an investment management platform connecting investors to compelling, mission-aligned opportunities in broader asset classes beyond FRB projects, such as private equity and private credit investments.
Blue Forest is an interdisciplinary team of scientists, engineers, foresters, finance and communications professionals. We are harnessing financial innovation and building partnerships with investors, non-profits, private companies, and the public sector to design sustainable solutions to systemic climate resilience challenges faced by vulnerable communities and ecosystems. As we grow and develop new financial solutions to pressing environmental problems, we are committed to promoting social equity and amplifying historically excluded voices in the burgeoning field of conservation finance.
Position Summary
Project Analysts and Associates at Blue Forest focus on the development of conservation finance projects while coordinating and contributing to other aspects of Blue Forest workstreams, including research and science efforts, communications, education and capacity building, and building and maintaining partnerships. This typically includes working on two to three projects simultaneously and, over time, developing a specialization (e.g., geographic, issue area, modeling, communications) that advances project development across the organization.

Analysts and Associates play a key role in project development by developing written materials, working with Managers and Directors to give presentations, and developing relationships with partners. In addition, Analysts and Associates spend their time supporting or servicing as lead coordinator for special projects within other departments at Blue Forest.
