The Sunrise Project is a global network of independent organizations united by a common mission: scaling social movements to drive the global transition beyond fossil fuels. We've developed a unique model that combines strategic grant‑making with campaigning, supporting interconnected organizations to create powerful change aligned with our mission.

Sunrise Inc. is a proud member of The Sunrise Project network. Our organizational culture is dynamic and adaptable. We're committed to supporting our team members to thrive as we tackle the urgent challenge of climate change. We believe that a diversity of experiences and perspectives strengthens our strategies, teams, and movements.

The Sunrise Project’s Global Research team is a highly collaborative team producing high‑quality and timely research which enables The Sunrise Project and its partners to accelerate a global transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy. The Senior Research Analyst – Corporate and Finance develops creative and nimble research solutions to empower our strategists’ and partners’ efforts to hasten progress towards a sustainable future.

The Sunrise Project supports networks of organisations to work together to achieve outcomes that would not be possible by individual organisations acting alone. We expect all roles at Sunrise to actively support the capacity building of these networks and partner organisations.

The Global Research program can only be effective by building and maintaining trust through consistently reliable and meaningful outputs and you are excited about maintaining those high standards while balancing comprehensive analysis with time‑sensitive campaign needs.
