Part-Time SDG Innovation Coordinator Opportunity
This part-time role is an exciting chance to apply human-centered design thinking to real-world challenges. As a Part-Time SDG Innovation Coordinator, you'll help uncover deep user insights, reframe problems, and prototype thoughtful, impact-driven solutions that serve both people and the planet.
This role is part of a larger vision to build a global innovation ecosystem where innovation is decentralized, community-powered, and aligned with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. Our ecosystem includes multiple digital products, AI-powered tools, and a growing network of collaborative brands – ventures co-created and operated by contributors across our communities. These brands are being developed under a DAO-driven model, where ownership and governance are shared.
You'll work at the intersection of design, systems thinking, and regenerative innovation – helping shape the very tools, brands, and processes that will power this new collaborative economy. Don't worry if it sounds like a lot – many collaborators started by exploring our culture, tools, and community practices. As we build an ecosystem powered by communities and global collaboration, some begin with a learning phase at IGS – the Impact Generator School – to build a strong foundation for long-term, purpose-driven work. Experience is a plus, but what truly matters is your openness to learn, adapt, and grow with us.
