Life at Forward Action is about making real change happen.
We work exclusively with progressive causes, partnering with skilled campaigners and strategists to take on the world’s toughest challenges, together.
But doing good should feel good, too.
We foster a space where you can be yourself, learn from mistakes, and get the support you need to thrive. Whatever it is that makes you unique is welcomed and celebrated here.
There is so much respect for individuality at Forward Action – I’ve never worked with a team who are so genuinely open to different opinions, ways of working, and personalities. This creates a space where it feels safe to be yourself and do what you do best.
Florence, Forward Action Co-Owner
We’re committed to real inclusivity. That means putting time, energy, and budget into becoming an anti-oppressive, anti-racist organisation. And we’re always learning, improving, and holding ourselves accountable.
We’re also proud to be 100% employee-owned, work a 4-day week, and be remote-first. We have plenty of check-ins, office meet-ups, and in-person socials to make sure the team can stay connected.
Forward Action is a workplace that considers and understands the work/life balance, leading on policies that help to take care of you while building skills valued in the workspace.
