She is the director of the Institute for Global Prosperity at University College, London (UCL), part of the Bartlett, UCL's Faculty of the Built Environment.

Moore is a social theorist and feminist anthropologist. Her work has developed a distinctive approach to the comparative analysis of gender and sexuality, and to the intersections between culture and globalisation. Recent research has focused on virtual worlds, new technologies, online identities and the relationship between self-imagining and globalisation. Moore has held numerous Visiting Appointments in the United States, Germany, Norway, and South Africa, among other places.
In 2008, following the retirement of Dame Marilyn Strathern, Moore took up the William Wyse Chair of Social Anthropology at Cambridge University. In 2009 Moore was made a Professorial fellow of Jesus College, Cambridge.
Moore is actively involved in the application of social science insights to business, the arts and public policy. She is the co-founder and chair of SHM Productions, a strategy and insight consultancy based in London, which was founded upon the principle that human motivation is at the root of business success and is critical to innovation across the public and private sectors. Moore was a founding trustee of the SHM Foundation, which works globally to provide communities and individuals with the practical tools they need to develop innovative solutions across the spheres of learning and citizenship, health and the arts.
