We are Rokt, a hyper-growth ecommerce leader. Rokt is the global leader in ecommerce, unlocking real-time relevance in the moment that matters most. Rokt’s AI Brain and ecommerce Network powers billions of transactions connecting hundreds of millions of customers, and is trusted to do this by the world’s leading companies.

We are a team of builders helping smart businesses find innovative ways to meet customer needs and generate incremental revenue. Leading companies drive 10-50% of additional revenue—and often all their profits—from the extra products or services they sell. This economic edge unleashes a world of possibilities for growth and innovation.

At Rokt, we practice transparency in career paths and compensation. We believe in transparency, which is why we have a well-defined career ladder with transparent compensation and clear career paths based on competency and ability. Rokt’stars constantly strive to raise the bar, pushing the envelope of what is possible.

We are looking for a Foundation & ESG Lead

Target total compensation ranges from $209,000-300,000, including a fixed annual salary of $170,000-230,000, an employee equity plan grant, and world-class benefits. 

Equity grants are issued in good faith, subject to company policies, board approval, and individual eligibility.

We’re seeking a passionate, strategic, and action-oriented Foundation & Social Impact Lead to establish and operationalize Rokt’s company foundation and help build and scale Rokt’s global ESG program. This individual will play a critical role in enabling Rokt to deliver on its Pledge 1% commitments and build a scalable platform for long-term environmental and social impact initiatives—including reporting, compliance, and stakeholder engagement. This is a high-impact role with visibility across the executive team and the opportunity to shape Rokt’s purpose-driven efforts for years to come.

We're committed to giving back, and as a proud member of the Pledge 1% movement, we're dedicating 1% of our equity, time, product, and profit to drive positive social change. We are also committed to long-term sustainability and we’re focused on building a meaningful, measurable ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) strategy that aligns with our values and creates real-world impact.

We are open to full or part time applicants for this role.

About the Role:

• Design and launch the Rokt Foundation, including legal formation, governance model, operational processes, and compliance frameworks.
• Develop and implement strategies for allocating Pledge 1% commitments (e.g., equity, profit, employee time) in alignment with Rokt’s values and mission ensuring measurable impact.
• Design and manage philanthropic partnerships, grantmaking, employee engagement programs (volunteering, giving), and community initiatives.
• Serve as the primary liaison between Rokt and nonprofit, NGO, and community stakeholders.
• Define short- and long-term impact goals and key performance indicators for the foundation.
• Manage grantmaking processes, reporting, and program evaluation.
• Support the development of Rokt’s broader ESG roadmap, ensuring alignment with global best practices and regulatory requirements.
• Lead environmental reporting and disclosure, including data collection, emissions tracking (Scopes 1–3), and progress against sustainability targets.
• Evaluate and implement ESG frameworks, ratings, and reporting standards. Coordinate ESG audits and prepare materials for executive and board-level reporting.
• Build internal awareness and engagement with ESG and social impact initiatives.
• Partner with Marketing to share Rokt’s impact story with customers, investors, and the broader public.

About You:

• Passion for social good and a deep commitment to equity and impact.
• Experience in philanthropy, social impact, ESG, CSR, nonprofit management, or related fields.
• Demonstrated experience in launching ESG programs and/or setting up a corporate foundation or similar social impact entity from the ground up.
• Strong knowledge of nonprofit governance, grantmaking, ESG frameworks and compliance practices.
• Excellent communication, stakeholder engagement, and project leadership skills.
• Familiarity with the Pledge 1% framework.
• Global perspective with experience in international giving or impact strategies.
• Experience in tech or fast-paced, high-growth environments is a plus.
