Corporate Accountability International, a powerhouse in challenging corporate abuse for 35 years, is seeking a Senior Foundations Manager to develop and lead plans to significantly expand the organization's revenues over the next several years. The Senior Foundations Manager leadership is critical to securing the organization's needed capacity to challenge abuses which threaten human rights, public health, the environment and our democracy, protecting people's lives across the world.
Corporate Accountability International was recently recognized by the World Health Organization for leadership in challenging Big Tobacco's interference with the global tobacco treaty. Just last year, our members and allies across the country helped compel the National Parks Service to move forward with a plan to stop the sale of bottled water at the Grand Canyon, despite an attempt by Coca-Cola to get the plan tabled. And last fall, we launched the video series Food MythBusters with author Anna Lapp, a project that directly challenges the Big Food- perpetuated myth that we need industrial, chemical agriculture to feed the world.
