ABOUT C6

C6 specialises in tech and strategy for progressive causes - dedicated to leveraging technology for social impact, primarily in advocacy and campaigning. Our partners are not-for-profit groups and organisations that share a common vision for change.

Started in 2020, C6 was set up to provide more holistic digital support for campaigners and organisers. Since then, we have partnered with many organisations to work on various key moments like working with the UK Labour Party on 2024 General Election; with Greenpeace on holding fossil fuel companies accountable for environmental damage; and with grassroots coalition End Fossil Finance to bring voices of Indigenous People and activists to financial regulators from around the world gathered in Switzerland.

We are a small, close-knit, cross functional core team and a group of consultants who value diversity, collaboration, and a commitment to progressive change. A successful candidate will be working on tech-for-change projects alongside the opportunity to refine campaigning and campaign strategy skills.
