About the role

An early-career volunteer role supporting the work of The Lab's Founder and helping to shape global sustainability impact, with potential for paid transition. The Sustainability Laboratory is seeking a volunteer Executive Support & Projects Associate to work closely with Lab Founder Dr. Michael Ben-Eli and collaborate with Lab project managers as needed.

This is an ideal opportunity for an early-career professional to work directly with one of the pioneers in sustainable development. The ideal candidate is passionate about sustainability issues and possesses outstanding writing and editorial skills, clear communication abilities, excellent judgment and discretion, and exemplary organizational instincts—able to move fluidly between strategic thinking and practical follow-through. Candidate is a proactive self-starter who can manage multiple workstreams with minimal supervision in a dynamic environment.

The Lab seeks a minimum one-year commitment, with potential for a paid transition based on performance and organizational need.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
