Job Description: Director
Can business be a force for good? Can the private sector ignite the spirit of service in society? Can a business have outstanding success from a financial perspective by dedicating time, talent and financial resources to a social cause?
If you believe that the answer to these questions is yes, then this interests you.
Virtuous Circle is looking for a Director to join our Chicago-based team, to work directly with our CEO.
Virtuous Circle is a young company - launching operationally in January 2020 - that builds on the synergy of its multifaceted team of business, CSR and nonprofit leaders and founders. We bring our experience together to build Signature Social Impact Programs that generate meaningful social impact and grow the business of our client companies. We believe that a virtuous circle can be designed and built between meaningful service and business growth, and that purpose in business is increasing rapidly in importance, especially to younger generations.
We know that individuals have causes that speak to them - causes that they want to align with. We also believe that a business can have a cause that is naturally aligned with the business’ core focus. A Signature Social Impact Program harnesses that cause and that passion, allowing the team to use their skills, their work and their talent to tackle a pressing social issue together with their employer. We have seen how this can lead to exponential growth on the social impact end, while also renewing employee passion, strengthening teams, developing leadership skills and increasing consumer confidence on the business end.
The day-to-day responsibilities as Director will be:
Engaging directly with companies and private equity firms to creatively construct company-specific Signature Social Impact Programs naturally aligned with their core business
Assessing stakeholder interests and research of aligned causes
Engaging company volunteer ‘champions’ to inspire a business-wide movement
Company specific analysis of the benefits and risks of different delivery models (partnership, collaboration, etc.) and financial management models (corporate foundations, third party nonprofits, etc.)
Active involvement in all stages of the engagement, from executive engagement through ideation, design, construction, launch and management of the Signature Social Impact Program
Working with client companies to integrate and align their Signature Social Impact Program and to allow for organic growth throughout business workstreams
We are looking for someone who is:
Passionate - for meaningful service and social impact. Someone who wants to inspire a movement for meaningful service in the world
Creative - can locate and cultivate the space of complementarity between business goals and social impact, designing new Signature Social Impact Programs from scratch across all industry sectors
Inspiring - can show people and businesses that the skills that they use every day can be leveraged for tremendous good, motivating them to get on board
Motivated and wants to learn as we build this company and this engine for social impact together with our business, CSR and nonprofit leaders
Open to new ideas as we challenge the worlds of business and social impact to come together for mutual benefit
Required skills and education:
University degree (preferably MBA)
Minimum five years working in the field of Corporate Social Responsibility
Experience in impact measurement
Proficiency in Microsoft packages including Word, Excel and Powerpoint
Excellent communication skills, both oral and written
Virtuous Circle is a small team and the company is in early stages but growing fast, with exceptional business and nonprofit experience contributed by its founding members. Energetic, passionate, joyful and professional engagement is expected as we begin to harness the power and efficiency of business as well as the passion and urgency of social causes. Managing multiple company engagements across diverse industry sectors requires flexibility, focus and a nimble, creative mind. Must be a team player with a passion for starting something new with a team of professionals accustomed to the efficiency of the big leagues in business and the passion and rewards of results-based, innovative social impact.
To apply please send your CV and a short cover letter to stefan@virtuouscircle.com .

Dopper is using our business as a force for good. We are a B Corp and our bottles are Cradle-to-CradleTM certified. But we want EVERYTHING WE DO to contribute to a better world. We’re talking carbon footprints, environmental legislation and so much more. Are you an ocean-saving hero with a fascination for compliance? Dive in!
Does this sound like you? You are super proactive. Before you’ve even read the paragraph below, you can barely stop yourself from diving into all opportunities for Dopper when it comes to compliance. You are eager to learn and you are one of those people that actually likes doing research. Even when it comes to heavy literature, you LOVE investigating and getting to the bottom of it. And you can effortlessly turn your findings into plans and projects. Some would even call you a natural project manager. And you don’t quit. Even when you are dealing with slow-moving third tier partners, you go in full octopus-mode, not letting go until they are on board! But you’re no creepy stalker. You are fun, responsible and someone you can count on. Also when our fridge contains beers that are about to expire.
A day in the life of our Sustainable Innovation Specialist Of course, you will be managing the day-to-day compliance issues. From arranging (food safety) testing on Dopper products to making sure our bottles get re-certified as Cradle-to-CradleTM products. And of course, keeping an eye on the collaboration with our production partners and their BSCI audits. You know about recent legal and regulatory changes and act on them.
But we want to do more. Dopper is a B Corp. Which is cool. We’re part of a global movement of organizations that is using business as a force for good. Our bottles are battling plastic pollution, but we want EVERYTHING we do to contribute to a better world. From improving our environmental compliance and carbon footprint, to a full blown take-back process for discarded Dopper products. We have a basic idea about what we want to improve, but you will be the one leading the way. For a start, you will manage our declaration of compliance documents, create a strategy to reduce our carbon footprint and conduct a lifecycle assessment.
Are you up for the challenge? This would help :
1-2 years of experience;
An education HBO/WO level in Sustainability or similar;
Experience in project management;
You are fluent in English and Dutch;
Knowledge of social and environmental affairs. Chemical knowledge is a plus;
Knowledge of sustainable product development;
You have strong adminstrative skills.
Want to know who you’d be working with? Digitally wave hello to Niels , Paul and Gabriela .
What’s in it for you? We know you don’t apply for a job just for a decent shot of caffeine in the morning – even though our coffee is pretty good. What is so different about working at Dopper? First of all, you’re not just doing your job, you’re actually making a change in the world. We’re on a mission and that ties our team together. Kumbaya. Now before you think this means singing songs about saving our oceans and working 160 hours a week: it doesn’t. Sounds good? There’s more. At this moment, Dopper is growing rapidly. And especially internationally. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hop on board and learn A LOT.
Needless to say, we think Dopper is a great place to work. And that’s official: Dopper made the list of ‘ Great Place to Work 2019 ’! Do you want to know even more about Dopper? We wrote 10 reasons why we like this company so much.
Applied for the job? Of course you did. Make sure we have received your application before 18 November 2019 at https://jobs.dopper.com/ .
Acquisition on this vacancy is not appreciated.
