More than just a job
A Mission That Matters
People are drawn to Cumberland Lodge because they believe the world needs more inclusive and ethical leadership. That belief drives everything we do. For nearly 80 years, we’ve been a place where people come together to debate, reflect, and grow as leaders who can shape a fairer society. As one of our Fellows put it, “Cumberland Lodge gave me the courage to lead with integrity and make a difference.” Maybe that’s what brings you here, too.
Shaping Change
Whether you’re building transformative partnerships, supporting our educational programmes, strengthening our brand and outreach, or working behind the scenes to keep the Lodge running, you’ll be part of an organisation determined to equip 5,000 future leaders to drive positive change. Every role here contributes to our mission and helps turn dialogue into lasting impact.
Inspired by People
At Cumberland Lodge, you’ll find a culture that values openness, collaboration, and curiosity. We bring together colleagues, partners, and participants from all walks of life, united by a shared belief in dialogue and ethical leadership. You’ll work alongside inspiring people who challenge, support, and encourage one another - creating an environment where everyone can grow and contribute to a legacy of change.
Living Our Purpose
You don’t have to be on the front line of our programmes to shape the future. From philanthropy and partnerships to hospitality, research, and operations - every team plays a vital role in sustaining our mission. What connects us all is the conviction that respectful dialogue and inclusive leadership can transform society.
Support to Thrive
We know our people make our vision possible. That’s why we offer a comprehensive package of support - from wellbeing and professional development opportunities to generous leave and flexible working - so you can thrive inside and outside of work.

“Cumberland Lodge’s mission came alive in every seminar, workshop, and late-night conversation. In a world often fractured by silo thinking, the Lodge created a space for interdisciplinary, intergenerational, and intercultural dialogue.”
