Pros

You get to meet a lot of celebrities Very flexible work schedule

Cons

Eventually you get tired of meeting celebrities at fancy dinners and actually wonder what if anything you're achieving here. In my time I saw three Comms Directors and two Programs Directors driven out because they clashed with entrenched senior leadership figures and asked tough questions about our mission. CEO took almost 2 years of "hiatus" during which the org lost all direction and stagnated. This is not the place to work if you measure yourself by impact.

Pros

- The Business & Human Rights team is filled with a passionate, high-performing, and creative leader who can curate peer forums and investment conferences for meaningful dialogue and connection. - Under the leadership of the Head of Investor Relations, the organization was able to delivered a historic success for the annual summer investor conference — both in reputation and in fundraising impact across the organization. - Mission-driven culture with significant external visibility and opportunity to drive systemic change.

Cons

- The COO lacks the strategic and operational acumen required to support or scale the organization's most impactful investor initiatives. His decision-making often slows momentum and demoralizes staff, especially those driving measurable results. - There is a noticeable disconnect between operations and programmatic work, leading to internal friction and inefficiencies. - Concerns exist internally about financial transparency by the highest-level position of leadership, specifically around discretionary funds. This is an area that merits independent review to ensure donor trust and regulatory compliance. - Underpay and overwork
