We seek candidates who demonstrate passion and enthusiasm for our mission and values, meet the skills and experience required for the role and evident alignment with the fair treatment and full participation of all<\/em> people.

We encourage applicants interested in our job openings to learn more about our hiring process. Please note that our hiring teams have different hiring timelines. We appreciate your patience and understanding, in advance.<\/p>\n\n

1. Application review<\/div>

Our recruiters and hiring managers review applications on a rolling basis to identify candidates who meet the qualifying criteria.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

2. Phone screen<\/div>

Phone screens are a 30-45 minute structured voice call, without video. During the phone screen, our recruiters will ask questions about background, qualifications, technical skills and behavioral skills. They will also provide a brief overview of the role and benefits and will offer time for any clarifying questions candidates have.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

3. Panel interview<\/div>

Candidates selected from the phone screen pool will be invited to a Zoom video interview. Panel Interviews are one hour long and have 2-3 Greenpeace interviewers on the panel. A combination of technical, behavioral and situational questions will be asked. Processes may vary per position, in having one or two interview panel stages.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

4. Take-home assignment or work sample<\/div>

Some processes include an independent assignment or work sample request to help our hiring team evaluate one or more skills. Your recruiter will contact you with full instructions and a deadline. *Please note not all processes include take-home assignments and\/or work samples<\/em>.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

\u00a05. Meet and greet<\/div>

A Greenpeace Meet and Greet is an informal opportunity to get to meet more of the team. Meet and Greets are typically<\/strong> 30 minutes, and are usually<\/strong> conducted over zoom video. *Please note not all processes will include a meet and greet.<\/em><\/p><\/div><\/div>

6. Reference checks<\/div>

Selected final candidates will be asked to submit 4 professional references, including one current or former supervisor and 2-3 co-workers.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

7. Offer<\/div>

Upon completion of reference checks, the final candidate will receive a verbal offer from their recruiter \u2013 followed by an official offer, pending a background check.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

8. Notification<\/div>

Candidates who were not selected for the role, will be notified by email. We encourage candidates to continue to apply for positions that align with their qualifications and career path, with the understanding that a rejection from one role is not a rejection from other Greenpeace opportunities.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n
