Work With Us
We are a global team redefining how critical minerals value chains get built.
How we work with others
Spektrum is deliberately open — not loosely defined.
We work by building partnerships, teams, and capabilities around a shared objective: delivering legitimate, durable development that can actually proceed. We actively engage with people and organisations who align with that goal — whether as partners, employees, collaborators, or advisers — and who are prepared to work differently to achieve it.
We are selective about alignment, but expansive in collaboration.
Building local capability, not dependency
When we establish in a new country or region, we do not operate as a fly-in, fly-out organisation.
We stand up local teams, with the skills required to deliver our work, and invest directly in building capability. These teams are trained by our co-founders and senior leaders in the Spektrum approach, including our Development by Consent© and Legitimacy Value at Risk methodologies.
Our intention is long-term presence and long-term relationships.
We aim to leave behind strong, locally rooted teams who are committed to legitimate development, trusted by communities and stakeholders, and capable of sustaining the work beyond any single project.
A culture that invites challenge
Spektrum is confident in its purpose — and open to being challenged.
If you do not share our objectives, or see risks, blind spots, or alternative perspectives, we want to hear from you. We believe rigorous challenge strengthens outcomes, sharpens judgment, and improves the integrity of our work.
Growth — personal, organisational, and systemic — comes from engaging with difference, not avoiding it.
Setting the standard
We work transparently and collaboratively because legitimacy cannot be claimed — it must be earned.
Our ambition is to set an exemplar for how development can be done:
fairer in process
faster in delivery
better in outcomes
This is what drives us — and it defines the organisations and individuals we choose to partner with.
What it means to join Spektrum
Those who join Spektrum should expect:
a fast-moving, high-accountability environment
close engagement with communities, Indigenous Peoples, governments, and capital
work that is complex, consequential, and visible
continuous learning across disciplines and systems
You will bring deep skills and experience — and you will also learn new frameworks, tools, and ways of working, including Spektrum’s Development by Consent© and Legitimacy Value at Risk methodologies.
This is not a passive organisation.
It is a place for people who want to help change how development is done — and are prepared to do the work required.
