Role overview

Projects at GBL are centred on building the business case for worker wellbeing. Examples include studying the migration experience and mental health of workers and how these are affected by pairing them with experienced workers from their region (through a novel buddy system), unlocking women's economic participation, and understanding how an effective grievance redressal system affects workers' job outcomes. We are also building a portfolio of projects at the intersection of climate action and worker wellbeing, including the clean energy transition through a human lens and extreme heat stress.

To further our mission of advancing valuable jobs at the intersection of worker wellbeing and business resilience, the Partnerships Associate will service existing project needs, identify new project opportunities across industries and geographies, build key stakeholder relationships with private-sector firms and ecosystem partners, and support GBL's external engagement strategy, including through delivering events.
