Careers at Apolitical

Apolitical is the first global platform for government that helps public servants find the ideas, experts and partners they need to solve the hardest challenges facing our societies. Our mission is to build 21st century governments that work for people and the planet.

The need to seek solutions across borders in government has never been greater. Yet public servants still often google or phone a friend to find policy ideas that affect millions of lives. Apolitical was created to change this. We offer public servants:

Communities: Online spaces for public servants to connect & exchange ideas

Courses: Online courses designed with the needs of 21st century public servants in mind

Events: Interactive online events with experts in government

We were named one of the world’s 100 most disruptive companies in 2017 by Disrupt100 and one of Fast Company's 10 Most Innovative Companies in Social Good in 2018.

    Overall

    Apolitical is unusual (in my experience!) in that it genuinely feels like its online presence suggests it might - it has the same warmth, informality and sparky freshness. Someone once described the culture to me as 'trust-driven' and I think that's spot on. Employees are trusted to do the work in the way, location and times that suit them, and this trust is repaid in levels of commitment and enthusiasm. The company attracts extremely smart, kind people and provides a working environment that's both supportive and challenging.
