Who We Are

Zebras Unite (ZU) is a global movement of founders and investors coming together to create the culture, capital, and community for a more just and inclusive economy. We serve this mission through a hybrid organization that includes our nonprofit, ZebrasUnite.org, to advance our educational mission, and our member-owned co-operative, Zebras Unite Co-Op, to scale products and services that support our members and the broader entrepreneurial ecosystem.

As the nonprofit arm of ZU, ZebrasUnite.org focuses on initiatives for the public good, including research, educational programming, communications and events, and groundbreaking initiatives like the Inclusive Capital Collective (ICC). Our unique organizational structure means that team members for the .org work closely with team members of Zebras Unite Co-Op, which anchors ZU’s global growth activities, including consulting, chapters, capital, and membership.

What We Look For in All Team Members

We are a young, international, and distributed start-up striving to implement and institutionalize values that upend business-as-usual, all the way from our big dreams to our daily interactions.

ZebrasUnite.org is looking for a General Manager to steward the strategic and operational development of the nonprofit arm of ZU.

Purpose

This position reports to ZebraUnite.org’s Board of Directors.
