We’re looking for exceptional talent to grow our team and the broader cash movement. Our culture is direct, analytical, non-hierarchical, fast-paced, transparent, and hard working. We are open to candidates from any industry and typically recruit from top organizations - members of our team have come to us from private-sector companies (consultancies, law firms, investment banks, etc.), start-ups, and government. We value ability and willingness to learn over years of experience. We offer a competitive salary and benefits and performance-based bonuses.
Qualities we’re hiring for:
Exceptional management consulting and/or project management track record at a high-performing organization
Strong operational acumen (including ability to rapidly get up-to-speed on GD field model) & penchant for problem-solving in contexts with a limited pre-existing playbook
Deep ownership mindset (i.e. the default assumption that when you identify a problem, you’re likely going to be the one to solve it!)
A versatile generalist who is comfortable taking on a wide array of projects
Comfortable with handling large and messy datasets on excel and carrying out basic data analysis
Willingness to travel and work from differing working locations, some of which will be remote
Passion for the role cash transfers can play in giving recipients choice & driving impact at scale
Strong alignment with GD values, as listed below
Responsibilities
Work closely with the Africa Operations Director and Country Directors to prioritize support areas (i.e. create the project pipeline for your own role)
Become a cross-country expert who can effectively disseminate key learnings and areas for improvement across our different areas of operation.
Design and deliver discrete projects often within fixed and tight timelines at a predetermined operational quality bar
Work with external parties to carry out collaborative program designs for bespoke foundation or institutional funded projects
Example projects (not comprehensive or guaranteed, but illustrative of 2020 focus areas):
Overseeing an innovation project in Kenya: As our most established operation, Kenya is looking to innovate a new method of targeting recipients designed to be lighter touch and more cost-effective than our current model.
Working to reduce fraud with our Director of Recipient Advocacy: As we experiment with our approach to cutting leakage, we need support in analyzing data, collecting best practices, and helping to disseminate a uniform playbook across countries
Project launches in Uganda: we are executing an ambitious roster of projects in Uganda this year (urban refugee-targeted cash program, UNICEF partnership to transfer cash to school-age women, fully remote enrollment pilot i.e. no boots on the ground) & may need support for designing and running field operations.
