Established in 1988 (as Send a Cow), Ripple Effect is a dynamic and passionate international development charity on a mission to create a powerful and lasting impact. Our vision is to see a rural Africa that is confident, thriving, and sustainable, with a growing economy and higher living standards for all.

You’ll bring a curious mindset, and you’ll have excellent attention to detail with a methodical approach to your work. Knowledge of Microsoft Office, particularly Excel, Teams and Outlook is beneficial. We’re also looking for someone who can handle sensitive information with discretion and good judgement, and who thrives when collaborating with colleagues across teams and countries.

A creative, solutions-focused approach to research, strong information management, and a commitment to Ripple Effect’s values of integrity, accountability, and compassion will help you excel.
