Raise for the Exchange.

Commission-only fundraising. Twenty per cent of everything you raise. Real sales experience, with your name on it.

What this is

The Commonwealth Exchange is a plan to organise the $854 billion the Commonwealth already trades with itself, by accident, cheaper than it trades with anyone outside it, with no institution running a penny of it.

It is published in full on this site. It is sourced to the line. And it is completely unfunded.

We are recruiting people to change that.

What you get

Twenty per cent of everything you raise, paid monthly.
A @commonwealthexchange.org address and a named role.
Briefing packs and scripts, built to be adapted rather than recited, because nobody converts reading someone else's words.
Real sales and fundraising experience, with numbers attached and a written reference on your performance.
Your name on the public supporter ledger, if you want it there.

What this is not

Not a salary. Commission only. If you raise nothing, you earn nothing.

Not passive income. It is emails and phone calls and being told no by people who are busy.

Not a scheme. You will never be paid a penny for recruiting anyone else. You are paid on money raised. That is the entire model and it does not change.

Not for everyone. It suits someone who can hold an argument and take a knock.

Who this is for

Politics, philosophy, international relations, economics and business graduates especially, though the door is not closed to anyone who can argue.

If you have a degree and nothing worth doing with it, this is the something.

8.8%

What it costs to send money to sub-Saharan Africa, against a UN target of three. There is a generation of graduates on two continents with nothing worth doing. The Commonwealth has fifty six countries, 2.7 billion people, and no machine.

Somebody is going to build it.

Apply

Read the framework before you apply. If you cannot argue for it, this will not work.
