We offer a work environment that encourages self-initiative, guided by high-level structures, tested methodologies, and clearly defined goals. We typically work in small teams and come together to share problems, probe issues, and ask questions. Learning is an ongoing process at Trialogue and we believe that people who have been with us for some time will have progressed their career in responsible business significantly.

Most assignments require interaction or field work with clients and office-bound work to research and write reports. We have two offices, in Cape Town and Johannesburg, and our staff work in a hybrid and flexible manner, with two days in the office each week to contribute to the team spirit and facilitate communication.

Our team is comprised of a combination of full-time employees and independent contractors and many of our employees started out working with us as independent consultants, undertaking project evaluation work, or writing articles or reports. We offer flexibility in terms of days and hours contracted and are open to various work arrangements as well as internships.

If you are interested in working with us as a contractor, please send a CV and application letter, detailing your areas of expertise as well as your hourly consulting rate, to info@trialogue.co.za.
