About the Organization
About Open Ownership
Open Ownership (OO) is driving the global shift towards transparency over who owns and controls companies, known as beneficial ownership transparency (BOT). We are working to create a world where governments, businesses, and citizens can readily access and effectively use accurate, complete, and high-quality evidence and information on the true owners of companies, not only to achieve transparency, but to reduce key global and national risks such as corruption and tax evasion, and create a more sustainable business environment.
To achieve this, our team of programme delivery, technology, and policy and research experts:
- Provides technical assistance to implement beneficial ownership transparency reforms
- Builds technology and capacity to use beneficial ownership data
- Conducts research and advocates to shape global policy and practice
We are a remote organisation with a global team of 15 individuals based in Argentina, Indonesia, the Netherlands, Nigeria, South Africa and Zimbabwe, as well as the United Kingdom (UK) where currently 50% of the organisation is based. We offer a fast-paced environment with an emphasis on agility and flexibility. People who enjoy learning and variety in their work will be particularly well-suited for our team. Although home-based, our remote team does meet in-person at least twice a year (restrictions allowing).
