Here at Team Rubicon, we hire people foolish enough to think they can change the world and smart enough to stand a chance.
So we don’t just ask you to enter the arena—you’re going to have to leap. Our bold, badass, ceaselessly compassionate staff will catch you when you do. For those ready to step up and step in, there are open positions to fill.
Regardless of the official job title, you’ll be applying to be a Greyshirt, too—the most important role in our organization, and the one that every member (staff or volunteer) embodies.
Who’s Teddy? Our Countless Audacious Employees.
Not like the bear. Like Teddy Roosevelt, who stood before a crowd in 1910 to demand more good from humanity. That’s the kind of tenacious team member we award The Teddy to each quarter: someone who steps up to a challenge—the way our Greyshirts Step Into the Arena—and commands it for the greater good.
Meet our most recent Teddy recipients.

Ben Sullivan
Ben Sullivan has provided direct in-person support in the field over a dozen times across Team Rubicon’s West Branch including cache management and C&G deployments. He contributed to the logistics manual rewrite, field tech request process overhaul, and facilitated national functional onboarding meetings. He also negotiated a storage donation in Southern California, expected to provide significant budget savings.
For a recent, massive wildfire mitigation operation in California, Ben not only arranged for operations equipment transportation, fleet management, and accommodation acquisition, but also coordinated with external partners for multiple in-kind donations.
In the Pacific, Ben authored a comprehensive equipment increase plan to not only support a wildfire response operation on Maui, but on all the Hawaiian Islands. His efforts included identifying vendors, maximizing cost savings, securing storage locations, and playing a critical role in major operations across the islands.
Ben’s selfless decision-making, attention to detail, and technical expertise are truly commendable. These distinctive accomplishments reflect great credit on himself, the operations team, and Team Rubicon.
