About us

Fearless Futures (FF) serves daring organisations – across sectors – ready to actively challenge inequities by addressing their roots, intersections, and lived realities. We do this as an ambitious group of multi-disciplinary specialists by facilitating transformative, experiential equity and inclusion education and partnering with our clients through consultancy to re-design their policies and processes to operationalise equitable ecosystems for their people and products.

Location

If you have the right to work and reside outside of the UK or US and are interested in this role, please email us at jobs@fearlessfutures.org sharing where you have the right to work and currently reside and we will respond with whether you should pursue the application process at this time.
