Advisory Board Member – Ethics, Morality & Dharma

Organisation: Rypple Stichting
Location: Flexible / Remote
Time Commitment: Advisory role (approx. 6–8 meetings per year + ad hoc consultation)
Compensation: Voluntary / honorary role (travel costs covered if needed)

About Rypple
Rypple is a mission-driven organisation working to shift societies from profit through illness to profit through health — what we call Health-ing. We support governments, institutions, and communities to build systems that make prevention, wellbeing, and long-term flourishing the norm.
Our work is not only technical and economic — it is deeply moral. We ask questions like:

What do we owe future generations?
What does a “good” health system look like?
How should societies balance freedom, responsibility, care, and justice?

Alongside Western ethical traditions, we are also inspired by broader wisdom traditions that speak of dharma — understood here not as religion, but as the idea of right action, responsibility, and alignment between individual life, society, and the greater whole.

Role Overview
We are seeking an Advisory Board Member for Ethics, Morality & Dharma to support Rypple’s leadership in navigating the moral, cultural, and philosophical dimensions of systemic health transformation.

This role is reflective, guiding, and questioning:
Helping us think more deeply about what is “good,” “just,” and “responsible”
Challenging assumptions when systems logic risks losing human meaning
Supporting Rypple to act with integrity in complex moral terrain
You will advise the CEO and core team on ethical dilemmas, long-term societal responsibility, and the moral narratives embedded in our work.

Key Responsibilities
Provide ethical and philosophical guidance on Rypple’s strategy, partnerships, and public narrative
Support reflection on moral questions such as:
Responsibility and freedom in health
Prevention and moral obligation
Intergenerational justice
Equity, dignity, and human worth
Individual wellbeing and collective good

Advise on ethical tensions in:
Policy influence and power
Data use, modeling, and prediction
Incentives for prevention
Cross-cultural health narratives
Participate in 6–8 advisory meetings per year
Be available for occasional consultation when complex moral questions arise
Help Rypple articulate not only what it does, but why it is morally worth doing

Who We Are Looking For
We are especially interested in someone who:

Has deep training in:
Philosophy, ethics, moral philosophy, political or social philosophy, or related fields

Ideally:
A professor, senior researcher, or recognised scholar

Has worked with:
Applied ethics, social ethics, political philosophy, medical ethics, or moral reasoning

Is open to engaging both:
Western ethical traditions
Broader wisdom traditions that speak of responsibility, care, and right action (dharma)

Can bridge:

Theory and lived systems
Abstract thought and human experience
Is thoughtful, reflective, and unafraid to challenge power and dominant narratives

What This Role Offers
A chance to shape a global health transformation movement at the level of meaning, not just method
Space to bring philosophy into living systems
Dialogue with leaders working in policy, economics, and systems change
A role where your thinking influences how societies imagine health, care, and responsibility
An intellectually rich, values-driven advisory position

Our Belief
We believe that building healthy systems is not just a technical project — it is a moral one.
We are not only asking “What works?”

We are asking:
What kind of society do we want to become — and how do we act in alignment with that?
