ABOUT PURPOSE
We are 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.
Our movement-building, culture-changing, participatory projects have delivered real impact with our world leading partners since 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
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. Join the team that makes all this work!
ABOUT THE ROLEWe are seeking a research specialist to coordinate the European scope across the United Kingdom, Germany, and Poland.
In this role, you will analyze the policy and built environment landscape across these three focus countries, conduct key stakeholder interviews, and provide structured regional input into broader global syntheses and strategy sessions. While global synthesis and primary report authorship will sit with partner leads, your contributions will ensure that European policy nuances, national discourse, and narrative opportunities are accurately captured.
