Working at Systemic Justice

equal opportunities


Systemic Justice is deeply committed to building an organisation that reflects the communities with which we work. We understand that creating transformative change requires bringing together diverse perspectives, experiences, and expertise. When we say we want to transform how the law works for communities fighting for justice, we mean transforming who has access to legal careers as well.

Decisions related to hiring, compensation, training, evaluating performance, and termination are made fairly and transparently. We provide equal employment opportunities to all qualified candidates and employees. This commitment to equity extends across every aspect of our employment practices and organisational culture.

We strongly encourage applications from people with lived experience of the injustices we work to address, as well as people who examine their unconscious bias and take responsibility for creating diverse, equitable, inclusive work environments.

We recognise that people from marginalised communities often hesitate to apply for positions unless they meet all the criteria.

  • We want to emphasise that we are committed to supporting growth and development. If you are excited about this role and our mission, we encourage you to apply, even if you don’t meet every qualification listed.

 

Compensation and benefits


At Systemic Justice, we believe in providing comprehensive support that enables our team to thrive both professionally and personally. We are committed to sustainable working practices and fostering an environment where everyone can do their best work while maintaining wellbeing.

Compensation

  • Systemic Justice seeks to offer a competitive salary for all its roles. Salary ranges provided are approximate and will be adjusted based on local cost of living, market rates, and employer costs;
  • Ability to work from your usual home location, with some travel (according to the requirements of the role, or the needs and locations of the communities we work with);
  • Flexible working to accommodate European time zones (+/- 2 hours CET); 
  • Up to 10% employer contributed pension (dependent on jurisdiction);
  • Technology and home office setup allowance; and
  • Focus on sustainable working practices.

Team support

  • Regular team retreats to connect and collaborate in person;
  • Opportunities to co-work in person with team members; and
  • Inclusive and supportive team culture.

We strive to be transparent about our benefits. Our goal is to create conditions where every team member feels supported, valued, and able to contribute their best while maintaining a healthy work-life integration.

While Systemic Justice is registered in the Netherlands, our team is employed on local employment contracts within the jurisdiction they live and work. Payroll is also run locally.

This role is offered as a 12-month fixed-term contract with the possibility of extension, subject to funding and organisational needs. Periodic travel across the Council of Europe to engage with communities, partners, team members and supporters is required.

Candidates must be based in the European Union, and have the right to work in their country of residence.
