Senior Product Manager, International Rapid Response Payment Systems

About GiveDirectly

GiveDirectly (GD) aims to reshape international giving – and millions of lives – by providing cash grants directly to the world’s poorest. The Brookings Institution estimates that $70B of cash transfers would be required to eliminate the poverty gap; the aid sector currently spends $135B each year, much of it on evidence-free interventions. GiveDirectly wants to change that, establishing cash transfers as a benchmark for foreign aid – as the index fund is a benchmark for the financial industry – and in the process accelerating the end of extreme poverty.

GD has raised over $1B since launching in 2011, delivered cash to more than 1.5 million people in 15 different countries. We’ve also supported large-scale, experimental research that indicates strong recipient impact of our programs. As a result, GD has been celebrated as one of the most innovative non-profit companies by Fast Company, while the growing cash transfer movement (and GD’s leading role within it) have been featured in the New York Times Magazine, This American Life, Foreign Affairs, and The Economist.

Our culture is candid, analytical, agile, and non-hierarchical. Our global team of ~150, and country operations teams of ~650, together come from 21 different countries speaking 69 different languages. From software engineers to seasoned humanitarian workers, former management consultants to public servants, researchers to field operations -- it’s an incredible group of people.

Our values are central and deliberately opinionated. We genuinely center the people we serve in our decision making, and strive to build an ambitious, dynamic and high performing environment. We strongly encourage you to read through our values carefully, if they reflect how you like to work and energize you, this could be a great fit.

We work hard to create an environment in which all our team members can thrive, succeed and grow. We support flexibility, take care of each other, have fun, and create professional growth opportunities.

Priority application deadline: August 25, 2025 or until we reach a critical mass of applications

Location: This role is fully remote but must overlap with an East Africa timezone by at least 3 hours. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of employment Visas in the U.S. or U.K. at this time.

We’re looking for an exceptional controller to bring our accounting processes and systems up to the bar of the rest of GiveDirectly’s operations - making them efficient, timely, reliable, and tech-driven.
As Controller, you’ll define how GiveDirectly’s accounting processes work, who interacts with them, and how they produce reliable finished products in the form of our financial statements and tax filings. You’ll develop and enforce internal controls, and work closely with our finance team as a hands-on manager, mentor, and leader. 

Reports to: CFO

Level: Senior DirectorResponsibilities:

Accounting

• Prepare the annual financial statements, designing accounting processes that make this preparation efficient and seamless
• Execute and provide oversight on tax filings, including preparation of the organization-wide 990 and providing oversight on country-specific tax filings prepared by the team in various African countries and/or US states
• Present regular financial reports to GiveDirectly’s senior leadership team in an accurate and timely manner following each monthly close, clearly communicating trends of concern or interest

Controls

Provide hands-on mentorship, training, and professional development to the team where needed
Set up effective processes for collaboration and communication within the team, and between the team and their stakeholders

• Expertise in US Federal Uniform Guidance related to our grants from USAID
• Strong people management skills and an ability to be hands-on with the whole finance team, whether directly managed by you or not (20+ total finance team members across accounting, financial planning & analysis, payments, and treasury)
• International experience and cultural competency working with our largely Africa-based finance team as well as US-based stakeholders (e.g., CEO)
• Familiarity with both IFRS and US GAAP - including an understanding of the differences and errors which may occur when knowledgeable about one system but working in the other

For candidates not based in Africa, we also require: 

• Availability for regular meetings at 8am Eastern US timezone; 7am occasionally in order to overlap with our largely Africa-based finance team. 10am EST is 5pm in Nairobi, and so we are requiring at least 2 hours of overlap with the East Africa timezone to facilitate team management.
• Ability to travel to Nairobi or Kigali for working sessions with the team (e.g., a trip of 1-2 weeks to start) 
  

  *We know that great candidates don’t always check every box. If you’re excited about this role and believe your skills and experiences align with our mission, we encourage you to apply.

Cross-functional Stakeholder Management

• Align diverse technical and non-technical stakeholders with competing priorities
• Collaborate with programs product leads, technical program managers, engineering, operations, and field teams to ensure that platform investments serve real, validated program requirements

Qualifications:

We welcome and strongly encourage applications from candidates who have personal or professional experience in the low-income and/or historically marginalized communities that we serve.
• 8+ years of technical software product management, including multiple full-lifecycle "zero-to-one" builds
• High technical fluency — you should be able to engage deeply with engineers on architecture, APIs, and system design
• High empathy for non-technical users and an eye for UX
• Experience in a high ambiguity, low-structure environment — you create clarity, not wait for it
• Ability to collaborate inclusively with stakeholders across varied social, national, and cultural backgrounds, including communicating technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Analytical problem solver: looks at problems with analytical and iterative mindset, with strong framework for prioritization
• Bonus: experience working with users experiencing poverty, with low digital literacy, and/or low or no network connectivity

Senior Product Manager, Mobile Operator Data

About GiveDirectly

GiveDirectly (GD) aims to reshape international giving – and millions of lives – by providing cash grants directly to the world’s poorest. The Brookings Institution estimates that $70B of cash transfers would be required to eliminate the poverty gap; the aid sector currently spends $135B each year, much of it on evidence-free interventions. GiveDirectly wants to change that, establishing cash transfers as a benchmark for foreign aid – as the index fund is a benchmark for the financial industry – and in the process accelerating the end of extreme poverty.

GD has raised over $1B since launching in 2011, delivered cash to more than 1.5 million people in 15 different countries. We’ve also supported large-scale, experimental research that indicates strong recipient impact of our programs. As a result, GD has been celebrated as one of the most innovative non-profit companies by Fast Company, while the growing cash transfer movement (and GD’s leading role within it) have been featured in the New York Times Magazine, This American Life, Foreign Affairs, and The Economist.

Our culture is candid, analytical, agile, and non-hierarchical. Our global team of ~150, and country operations teams of ~650, together come from 21 different countries speaking 69 different languages. From software engineers to seasoned humanitarian workers, former management consultants to public servants, researchers to field operations -- it’s an incredible group of people.

Our values are central and deliberately opinionated. We genuinely center the people we serve in our decision making, and strive to build an ambitious, dynamic and high performing environment. We strongly encourage you to read through our values carefully, if they reflect how you like to work and energize you, this could be a great fit.

We work hard to create an environment in which all our team members can thrive, succeed and grow. We support flexibility, take care of each other, have fun, and create professional growth opportunities.

Location: This role is fully remote but must overlap with an East Africa timezone by at least 3 hours. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of employment Visas in the U.S. or U.K. at this time.

About this role

Tech encodes every aspect of GiveDirectly’s programs – from the way a field officer interacts with a potential recipient to collect enrollment data, to actually sending a recipient mobile money. We are making a big investment in our software for cash delivery, because we believe it can 8-10X how fast we can deliver our fastest programs, and improve quality and recipient experience throughout.

We are seeking a Product Lead, Cash Delivery Platform to define and lead this platform. You will design systems and abstractions that shape our cash delivery, owning the roadmap across capabilities like survey building, eligibility & verification, fraud detection, payments, and case management. You will work closely with engineers, field operations, and research teams to design, build, and scale a system that ensures cash gets to the right recipients faster, more efficiently, more securely, and with better recipient experience.

This is not an execution-focused feature-shipping role, or an iterative optimization role – this is a new role, and we’re looking for a leader who has had multiple repetitions defining products from the ground up, and a track record of creating clarity, scale, and reuse from messiness.

Senior Software Engineer

About GiveDirectly

GiveDirectly (GD) aims to reshape international giving – and millions of lives – by providing cash grants directly to the world’s poorest. The Brookings Institution estimates that $70B of cash transfers would be required to eliminate the poverty gap; the aid sector currently spends $135B each year, much of it on evidence-free interventions. GiveDirectly wants to change that, establishing cash transfers as a benchmark for foreign aid – as the index fund is a benchmark for the financial industry – and in the process accelerating the end of extreme poverty.

GD has raised over $1B since launching in 2011, delivered cash to more than 1.5 million people in 15 different countries. We’ve also supported large-scale, experimental research that indicates strong recipient impact of our programs. As a result, GD has been celebrated as one of the most innovative non-profit companies by Fast Company, while the growing cash transfer movement (and GD’s leading role within it) have been featured in the New York Times Magazine, This American Life, Foreign Affairs, and The Economist.

Our culture is candid, analytical, agile, and non-hierarchical. Our global team of ~150, and country operations teams of ~650, together come from 21 different countries speaking 69 different languages. From software engineers to seasoned humanitarian workers, former management consultants to public servants, researchers to field operations -- it’s an incredible group of people.

Our values are central and deliberately opinionated. We genuinely center the people we serve in our decision making, and strive to build an ambitious, dynamic and high performing environment. We strongly encourage you to read through our values carefully, if they reflect how you like to work and energize you, this could be a great fit.

We work hard to create an environment in which all our team members can thrive, succeed and grow. We support flexibility, take care of each other, have fun, and create professional growth opportunities.

Location: This role is fully remote but must be available to meet with East Africa timezone by at least 2 hours a couple of times a week. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of employment Visas in the U.S. or U.K. at this time.

About this role

Technology plays a central role in how GiveDirectly delivers cash—whether that’s identifying recipients in hard-to-reach places, sending payments quickly after disasters, or powering the platforms our donors use to give.

We’re hiring a Senior Software Engineer to help build the systems behind this work. Our engineering team still operates like a startup within GiveDirectly—lean, fast-moving, and high-autonomy. You’ll lean into product thinking, help shape the roadmap, and collaborate closely across disciplines to solve real-world problems. The specific team you’ll join is still being finalized—it could be:

• Our Programs Engineeringteam (getting cash in the hands of people experiencing extreme poverty),
• Our Fundraising Engineeringteam (raising more money for recipients), or
• Our International Rapid Responseteam (getting cash to disaster-affected communities within 5 days of a crisis—anywhere in the world)

No matter the team, you’ll play a central role in scaling our impact: getting more money, to more people, more efficiently.

This is a hands-on role with real ownership. You’ll help shape architecture, ship production-ready code, and work side-by-side with teammates across product, data, and operations. We’re looking for someone excited to wear multiple hats, move quickly, and define what great engineering looks like in a mission-driven org

Level: Senior Software Engineer

Travel Requirement: Must be able to travel ~1-2 times per year to one of our countries of operation for team retreats or field visits.

What you’ll do:

• Design and build scalable, reliable systems that power our core operations—whether that’s donor platforms, systems that deliver payments directly to recipients, or crisis response tools reaching hundreds of thousands of people globally.
• Own end-to-end development of new features and services, from architecture through deployment and monitoring.
• Improve our developer workflows by strengthening CI/CD pipelines, reducing manual steps, and increasing test coverage.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (product, ops, data) to understand real-world needs and ship tools that directly support program delivery in the field.
• Debug and resolve production issues across our stack, with a focus on root cause analysis and long-term fixes.
• Advocate for sustainable engineering practices, including testing, documentation, and monitoring
• Help shape our tech roadmap with an eye toward scale, maintainability, and recipient experience

What you’ll bring:

• Exceptional alignment withand active demonstration of our core competencies: emotional intelligence, problem solving, project management, follow-through, and fostering inclusivity. We welcome and strongly encourage applications from candidates who have personal or professional experience in the low-income and/or historically marginalized communities that we serve.GiveDirectly Values
• Language Requirement: English
• 4+ years of industry experience creating production-caliber software and systems
• Experience with backend architecture: databases, cloud services, APIs
• Experience building infrastructure to deploy software
• Experience with strongly-typed, object-oriented programming such as Java, C#, Go, etc. and scripting languages such as Python, Ruby, etc.
• High degree of ownership and autonomy - you proactively advocate for ways to improve systems and constantly leave our codebase in a better state than you found it
• Strong analytical skills and communication - able to break down complex problems, describe technical trade-offs, and collaborate with cross-functional partners (e.g. technical program managers, product managers)
• Bonus: Experience using Python and AWS in a production environment
• Bonus: experience with payments/financial software and/or experience with microservice/serverless architecture

About GiveDirectly

GiveDirectly (GD) aims to reshape international giving – and millions of lives – by providing cash grants directly to the world’s poorest. The Brookings Institution estimates that $70B of cash transfers would be required to eliminate the poverty gap; the aid sector currently spends $135B each year, much of it on evidence-free interventions. GiveDirectly wants to change that, establishing cash transfers as a benchmark for foreign aid – as the index fund is a benchmark for the financial industry – and in the process accelerating the end of extreme poverty.

GD has raised over $1B since launching in 2011, delivered cash to more than 1.5 million people in 15 different countries. We’ve also supported large-scale, experimental research that indicates strong recipient impact of our programs. As a result, GD has been celebrated as one of the most innovative non-profit companies by Fast Company, while the growing cash transfer movement (and GD’s leading role within it) have been featured in the New York Times Magazine, This American Life, Foreign Affairs, and The Economist.

Our culture is candid, analytical, agile, and non-hierarchical. Our global team of ~150, and country operations teams of ~650, together come from 21 different countries speaking 69 different languages. From software engineers to seasoned humanitarian workers, former management consultants to public servants, researchers to field operations -- it’s an incredible group of people.

Our values are central and deliberately opinionated. We genuinely center the people we serve in our decision making, and strive to build an ambitious, dynamic and high performing environment. We strongly encourage you to read through our values carefully, if they reflect how you like to work and energize you, this could be a great fit.

Role Overview

GiveDirectly is seeking a Senior Product Manager, Targeting to design and scale the systems that allow us to rapidly and equitably identify who to serve in moments of crisis. This individual will serve as the strategic and technical lead for targeting within the International Rapid Response (IRR) Product team and build the infrastructure that ensures GD knows:

• When and where a crisis event has occurred that fits GD response criteria.
• Which subpopulations are most affected and relevant for our programs.
• The actionable lists of individuals to enroll for assistance.

A core part of this role is applying humanitarian needs analysis frameworks to ensure that our crisis response is data-driven, inclusive, and contextually grounded. The ideal candidate will combine humanitarian analysis experience with strong product management skills—you will drive continuous discovery to define our products for targeting, working in tight collaboration with engineers, data scientists, and operations partners to run rapid experiments, validate assumptions, and scale solutions across contexts.

Reports to: Senior Product Director, International Rapid Response

What You’ll Do

Lead Humanitarian Needs Analysis for Targeting

• Design and implement approaches for systematically assessing needs in crisis-affected populations.
• Incorporate humanitarian data sources (e.g., needs assessments, poverty statistics, vulnerability indices, displacement monitoring, etc) into GD’s targeting systems.
• Translate complex needs analysis into clear eligibility criteria and operational plans as a service to other teams.

Detect and Prioritize Crisis Events

• Develop systems and frameworks to monitor global crises and determine when GD should mobilize.
• Partner with humanitarian agencies, data providers, and crisis monitoring organizations to integrate reliable event and needs assessment signals into GD’s workflow.

Identify Relevant Subpopulations

• Define methodologies and establish systems for determining which groups within a crisis are most relevant for GD’s programs, using vulnerability analysis and humanitarian standards.

Generate Recipient Lists

• Establish the tool kit for producing accurate, actionable lists of individuals to be enrolled in GD IRR programs.

Technical Product Management

• Lead and steward the roadmap for targeting capabilities, including capability prioritization
• Lead end-to-end product development from problem discovery and user requirements gathering to launch and iteration, hand-in-hand with engineering, data science, and operations
• Pair strong technical expertise with deep understanding of users and humanitarian realities to design reusable, leveraged systems
• Conduct agile iterative experiments and pilots to validate assumptions about crisis detection and targeting, using results to refine strategy
• Define and track success metrics for targeting products
• Direct engineering and data science and partner with operations teams to ensure outputs are timely, relevant, and usable in the field.

Drive Efficiency and Learning

• Continuously evaluate and improve targeting approaches for speed, accuracy, and inclusivity, while maintaining humanitarian principles.
• Stay abreast of technology and industry developments to ensure GD is leveraging cutting-edge approaches to targeting.
• Document learnings and build playbooks to scale best practices across different contexts.

What You’ll Bring

• Exceptional alignment with GiveDirectly values and active demonstration of our core competencies: emotional intelligence, problem solving, project management, follow-through, and fostering inclusivity.
• Proven experience conducting humanitarian needs analysis — assessing vulnerabilities, interpreting crisis data, and applying frameworks such as the IPC, MIRA, or sectoral needs assessments.
• 5+ years of product management experience, with a track record of shipping data-intensive or humanitarian-focused products and collaborating closely with engineers and data teams.
• High technical fluency across data engineering, data analytics, and data science – ability to ask the right questions, internalize technical tradeoffs between approaches, and shape complex data and technical challenges into operationally viable targeting strategies.
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills across technical and non-technical audiences, including humanitarian partners.
• Proven ability to thrive in fast-changing, high-stakes environments.
• Ability to adapt to change and navigate ambiguity and a curiosity-driven mindset.
• Strong product sense and ability to balance speed and rigor in high uncertainty.
• Demonstrated ability to design reusable systems, processes, and technology that scale across multiple contexts.
• Supervisory and team leadership skills, including setting direction for analysts, data scientists and data engineers. Proven ability to set priorities, provide mentorship, and build collaborative cross-functional teams.

Nice to Have

• Prior field experience in humanitarian response or international social protection programs in resource constrained contexts.

• Experience using generative AI for decision support.

Community Engagement Coordinator, Beaufort County, NC (Rural GI)

About GiveDirectly

GiveDirectly (GD) aims to reshape international giving – and millions of lives – by providing cash grants directly to the world’s poorest. The Brookings Institution estimates that $70B of cash transfers would be required to eliminate the poverty gap; the aid sector currently spends $135B each year, much of it on evidence-free interventions. GiveDirectly wants to change that, establishing cash transfers as a benchmark for foreign aid – as the index fund is a benchmark for the financial industry – and in the process accelerating the end of extreme poverty.

GD has raised over $1B since launching in 2011, delivered cash to more than 1.5 million people in 15 different countries. We’ve also supported large-scale, experimental research that indicates strong recipient impact of our programs. As a result, GD has been celebrated as one of the most innovative non-profit companies by Fast Company, while the growing cash transfer movement (and GD’s leading role within it) have been featured in the New York Times Magazine, This American Life, Foreign Affairs, and The Economist.

Our culture is candid, analytical, agile, and non-hierarchical. Our global team of ~150, and country operations teams of ~650, together come from 21 different countries speaking 69 different languages. From software engineers to seasoned humanitarian workers, former management consultants to public servants, researchers to field operations -- it’s an incredible group of people.

Our values are central and deliberately opinionated. We genuinely center the people we serve in our decision making, and strive to build an ambitious, dynamic and high performing environment. We strongly encourage you to read through our values carefully, if they reflect how you like to work and energize you, this could be a great fit.

We work hard to create an environment in which all our team members can thrive, succeed and grow. We support flexibility, take care of each other, have fun, and create professional growth opportunities.

About this role

Since 2017, GiveDirectly has provided cash relief to low-income Americans affected by disasters. Between 2020 and 2021, we distributed $200M to 200,000 households in response to the COVID-19 crisis - 100% remotely. In 2021, GiveDirectly launched a permanent U.S. team to implement cash programs in disaster response and guaranteed income. As part of this effort, we launched the largest guaranteed income program focused on Black women in the U.S., and administered two of the largest government-funded GI programs in the country in Chicago, IL and Cook County, IL.

Rural areas are dramatically underrepresented in the 150+ guaranteed income pilots that have been run nationally. It is predominately in cities where governments and philanthropies have experimented with flexible, effective cash supports, further leaving rural communities behind. This program addresses this gap in guaranteed income distributions across rural areas in the United States, by providing direct support so that people in rural areas are able to have a fair chance at achieving their American Dream.

Community Engagement Coordinator (CECs) will support GiveDirectly’s work with the Rural Guaranteed Income Program. As a member of the Beaufort County, NC-based team, you will support with outreach for likely eligible applicants, verification of applicant eligibility for the program, directly support applicants in application and enrollment (virtually and in person), support community partners with questions about the program, use tools (such as benefits protection calculators) to help applicants make an informed decision about participating in the program, support program staff in engaging applicants throughout the application and enrollment process, and perform other duties as assigned.

Location Requirement: Must currently reside in Beaufort County, NC (or within 40 miles), or should have plans to reside in Beaufort County (or within 40 miles) starting September of 2025. While some of the work may be done remotely, you will be asked to support in-person activities throughout the County for the duration of the project. 

You must be authorized to work in the United States at the time of application; we are unable to sponsor international candidates for this position.

Job Type: Part-time. The number of hours will vary, up to 29 hours per week. This is a project-based position, which means it is contingent upon funding. This position will have a fixed term of 4-6 months (subject to project timeline).

Reports to: Program Manager

Travel Requirement: This position requires local travel

What you’ll do:

• Clearly communicate complex information
• Maintain confidentiality
• Conduct phone/email outreach to applicants
• Provide high-quality customer service to all applicants you interact with
• Answer questions and provide information to assist applicants in submitting required documentation, making an informed decision about participating in the program, and enrolling in the program
• Review documentation from applicants to confirm their eligibility for the program
• Assist with scheduled in-person enrollment events throughout Beaufort County, NC
• Use a benefits counseling tool to help recipients understand any potential effect on their benefits
• Conduct other programmatic/logistical tasks, where required
• Collaborate with the team on ways to improve processes for applicants

Fundraising Manager

About GiveDirectly

GiveDirectly (GD) aims to reshape international giving – and millions of lives – by providing cash grants directly to the world’s poorest. The Brookings Institution estimates that $70B of cash transfers would be required to eliminate the poverty gap; the aid sector currently spends $135B each year, much of it on evidence-free interventions. GiveDirectly wants to change that, establishing cash transfers as a benchmark for foreign aid – as the index fund is a benchmark for the financial industry – and in the process accelerating the end of extreme poverty.

GD has raised over $1B since launching in 2011, delivered cash to more than 1.5 million people in 15 different countries. We’ve also supported large-scale, experimental research that indicates strong recipient impact of our programs. As a result, GD has been celebrated as one of the most innovative non-profit companies by Fast Company, while the growing cash transfer movement (and GD’s leading role within it) have been featured in the New York Times Magazine, This American Life, Foreign Affairs, and The Economist.

Our culture is candid, analytical, agile, and non-hierarchical. Our global team of ~150, and country operations teams of ~650, together come from 21 different countries speaking 69 different languages. From software engineers to seasoned humanitarian workers, former management consultants to public servants, researchers to field operations -- it’s an incredible group of people.

Our values are central and deliberately opinionated. We genuinely center the people we serve in our decision making, and strive to build an ambitious, dynamic and high performing environment. We strongly encourage you to read through our values carefully, if they reflect how you like to work and energize you, this could be a great fit.

About GiveDirectly

GiveDirectly (GD) aims to reshape international giving – and millions of lives – by providing cash grants directly to the world’s poorest. The Brookings Institution estimates that $70B of cash transfers would be required to eliminate the poverty gap; the aid sector currently spends $135B each year, much of it on evidence-free interventions. GiveDirectly wants to change that, establishing cash transfers as a benchmark for foreign aid – as the index fund is a benchmark for the financial industry – and in the process accelerating the end of extreme poverty.

GD has raised over $1B since launching in 2011, delivered cash to more than 1.5 million people in 15 different countries. We’ve also supported large-scale, experimental research that indicates strong recipient impact of our programs. As a result, GD has been celebrated as one of the most innovative non-profit companies by Fast Company, while the growing cash transfer movement (and GD’s leading role within it) have been featured in the New York Times Magazine, This American Life, Foreign Affairs, and The Economist.

Our culture is candid, analytical, agile, and non-hierarchical. Our global team of ~150, and country operations teams of ~650, together come from 21 different countries speaking 69 different languages. From software engineers to seasoned humanitarian workers, former management consultants to public servants, researchers to field operations -- it’s an incredible group of people.

• Directly engage with recipients to identify any corrections or improvements in field processes that are needed.

Required Qualifications

• Possess a Degree/Diploma in Public Health, Nursing & Clinical services, Community Health, or other health-related courses.

Sobre a GiveDirectlyA GiveDirectly (GD) tem como objetivo remodelar a doação internacional - e milhões de vidas - fornecendo subsídios em dinheiro diretamente aos mais pobres do mundo. A Brookings Institution estima que seriam necessários 70 mil milhões de dólares em transferências monetárias para eliminar o fosso da pobreza; o sector da ajuda humanitária gasta atualmente 135 mil milhões de dólares por ano, grande parte dos quais em intervenções sem provas. A GiveDirectly pretende mudar esta situação, estabelecendo as transferências de dinheiro como referência para a ajuda externa - tal como o fundo de índice é uma referência para a indústria financeira - e, no processo, acelerando o fim da pobreza extrema.

A GD angariou mais de 700 milhões de dólares desde o seu lançamento em 2011, entregou dinheiro a mais de 1 milhão de pessoas e abriu escritórios em 10 países. Também apoiámos investigação experimental em grande escala que indica um forte impacto dos nossos programas nos destinatários. Como resultado, a GD foi celebrada como uma das empresas sem fins lucrativos mais inovadoras pela Fast Company, enquanto o crescente movimento de transferência de dinheiro (e o papel de liderança da GD dentro dele) foi apresentado na New York Times Magazine, This American Life, Foreign Affairs e The Economist.

Senior Manager, Programs (Fixed Term Contract)

About GiveDirectly

GiveDirectly (GD) aims to reshape international giving – and millions of lives – by providing cash grants directly to the world’s poorest. The Brookings Institution estimates that $70B of cash transfers would be required to eliminate the poverty gap; the aid sector currently spends $135B each year, much of it on evidence-free interventions. GiveDirectly wants to change that, establishing cash transfers as a benchmark for foreign aid – as the index fund is a benchmark for the financial industry – and in the process accelerating the end of extreme poverty.

GD has raised over $1B since launching in 2011, delivered cash to more than 1.5 million people in 15 different countries. We’ve also supported large-scale, experimental research that indicates strong recipient impact of our programs. As a result, GD has been celebrated as one of the most innovative non-profit companies by Fast Company, while the growing cash transfer movement (and GD’s leading role within it) have been featured in the New York Times Magazine, This American Life, Foreign Affairs, and The Economist.

Our culture is candid, analytical, agile, and non-hierarchical. Our global team of ~150, and country operations teams of ~650, together come from 21 different countries speaking 69 different languages. From software engineers to seasoned humanitarian workers, former management consultants to public servants, researchers to field operations -- it’s an incredible group of people.

Our values are central and deliberately opinionated. We genuinely center the people we serve in our decision making, and strive to build an ambitious, dynamic and high performing environment. We strongly encourage you to read through our values carefully, if they reflect how you like to work and energize you, this could be a great fit.

We work hard to create an environment in which all our team members can thrive, succeed and grow. We support flexibility, take care of each other, have fun, and create professional growth opportunities.

GiveDirectly (GD) aims to reshape international giving – and millions of lives – by providing cash grants directly to the world’s poorest. The Brookings Institution estimates that $70B of cash transfers would be required to eliminate the poverty gap; the aid sector currently spends $135B each year, much of it on evidence-free interventions. GiveDirectly wants to change that, establishing cash transfers as a benchmark for foreign aid – as the index fund is a benchmark for the financial industry – and in the process accelerating the end of extreme poverty.

GD has raised over $1B since launching in 2011, delivered cash to more than 1.5 million people in 15 different countries. We’ve also supported large-scale, experimental research that indicates strong recipient impact of our programs. As a result, GD has been celebrated as one of the most innovative non-profit companies by Fast Company, while the growing cash transfer movement (and GD’s leading role within it) have been featured in the New York Times Magazine, This American Life, Foreign Affairs, and The Economist.

Our culture is candid, analytical, agile, and non-hierarchical. Our global team of ~150, and country operations teams of ~650, together come from 21 different countries speaking 69 different languages. From software engineers to seasoned humanitarian workers, former management consultants to public servants, researchers to field operations -- it’s an incredible group of people.

Our values are central and deliberately opinionated. We genuinely center the people we serve in our decision making, and strive to build an ambitious, dynamic and high performing environment. We strongly encourage you to read through our values carefully, if they reflect how you like to work and energize you, this could be a great fit.

We work hard to create an environment in which all our team members can thrive, succeed and grow. We support flexibility, take care of each other, have fun, and create professional growth opportunities.

Location: This role is fully remote but must overlap with an East Africa timezone by at least 3 hours. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of employment Visas in the U.S. or U.K. at this time.

Priority application deadline: Nov 14, 2025 or until we reach a critical mass of applications

• Background :

GiveDirectly (GD) vise à remodeler les dons internationaux - et des millions de vies - en fournissant des subventions en espèces directement aux plus pauvres du monde. The Brookings Institution estime que 70 milliards de dollars de transferts en espèces seraient nécessaires pour éliminer le fossé de la pauvreté ; le secteur de l'aide dépense actuellement 135 milliards de dollars par an, dont une grande partie pour des interventions non fondées sur des données probantes. GiveDirectly veut changer cela, en faisant des transferts d'argent liquide une référence pour l'aide étrangère - comme le fonds indiciel est une référence pour l'industrie financière - et en accélérant ainsi la fin de l'extrême pauvreté.

GD a levé plus de 700 millions de dollars depuis son lancement en 2011, distribué de l'argent à plus d'un million de personnes et ouvert des bureaux dans 10 pays. Nous avons également soutenu des recherches expérimentales à grande échelle qui indiquent un fort impact de nos programmes sur les bénéficiaires. En conséquence, GD a été reconnue comme l'une des organisations à but non lucratif les plus innovantes par Fast Company, tandis que le mouvement croissant des transferts d'argent liquide (et le rôle de premier plan joué par la GD dans ce cadre) a fait l'objet d'un article dans le magazine New York Times Magazine, This American Life, Foreign Affairs, et The Economist.

GiveDirectly offre la possibilité de travailler avec des personnes originaires de 21 pays différents et parlant 69 langues différentes. Nous travaillons activement à la mise en place d'un environnement équitable et inclusif pour tous les membres de l'équipe, et notre personnel apporte des perspectives et des expériences diverses à notre organisation. Dans nos bureaux du monde entier, notre culture est franche, analytique, non hiérarchique et rapide. Nous valorisons les capacités, l'adaptabilité et la volonté d'apprendre.

Le Bureau de représentation nationale de GiveDirectly en RDC est situé à Goma, 322, Avenue du Musée, Quartier Himbi, Commune de Goma, Ville de Goma, Province du Nord Kivu.

À propos de GiveDirectly en RD Congo :

GiveDirectly RDC a été créé en 2018 afin de permettre des transferts monétaires aux populations pauvres et rurales via les téléphones portables, afin de promouvoir la sécurité alimentaire, la réduction de la pauvreté et l’inclusion financière. Nous souhaitions démontrer la faisabilité opérationnelle et la rentabilité du transfert d’importants volumes monétaires sous forme numérique dans l’un des pays les moins développés du monde. Depuis sa création, il y a quatre ans, GiveDirectly RDC a utilisé les téléphones mobiles pour transférer plus de 14 millions de dollars à plus de 65 000 bénéficiaires dans quatre provinces : Sud-Kivu, Nord-Kivu, Ituri et Kinshasa. Les activités de GiveDirectly en RDC se sont développées de manière à inclure, notamment : des preuves de concept convaincantes des transferts d’argent liquide basés sur les téléphones portables ; la mise en œuvre de technologies innovantes de ciblage des populations urbaines défavorisées de Kinshasa, en collaboration avec l’agence de protection sociale de la RDC, le Fonds Social de la RDC ; la livraison d’argent liquide sans contact aux bénéficiaires de Beni et Bunia affectés par les conséquences économiques de la COVID-19. Vous rejoindrez Give Directly RDC à un moment passionnant de son histoire, alors que nous mettons en place et espérons lancer plusieurs nouveaux programmes et renforcer notre partenariat avec le gouvernement de la RDC.

Finance Associate (Payments)

About GiveDirectly

GiveDirectly (GD) aims to reshape international giving – and millions of lives – by providing cash grants directly to the world’s poorest. The Brookings Institution estimates that $70B of cash transfers would be required to eliminate the poverty gap; the aid sector currently spends $135B each year, much of it on evidence-free interventions. GiveDirectly wants to change that, establishing cash transfers as a benchmark for foreign aid – as the index fund is a benchmark for the financial industry – and in the process accelerating the end of extreme poverty.

GD has raised over $1B since launching in 2011, delivered cash to more than 1.5 million people in 15 different countries. We’ve also supported large-scale, experimental research that indicates strong recipient impact of our programs. As a result, GD has been celebrated as one of the most innovative non-profit companies by Fast Company, while the growing cash transfer movement (and GD’s leading role within it) have been featured in the New York Times Magazine, This American Life, Foreign Affairs, and The Economist.

Our culture is candid, analytical, agile, and non-hierarchical. Our global team of ~150, and country operations teams of ~650, together come from 21 different countries speaking 69 different languages. From software engineers to seasoned humanitarian workers, former management consultants to public servants, researchers to field operations -- it’s an incredible group of people.

Our values are central and deliberately opinionated. We genuinely center the people we serve in our decision making, and strive to build an ambitious, dynamic and high performing environment. We strongly encourage you to read through our values carefully, if they reflect how you like to work and energize you, this could be a great fit.

We work hard to create an environment in which all our team members can thrive, succeed and grow. We support flexibility, take care of each other, have fun, and create professional growth opportunities.

As a result, GD has been celebrated as one of the most innovative non-profit companies by Fast Company, while the growing cash transfer movement (and GD’s leading role within it) have been featured in the New York Times Magazine, This American Life, Foreign Affairs, and The Economist.

We strongly encourage you to read through our values carefully, if they reflect how you like to work and energize you, this could be a great fit.

We work hard to create an environment in which all our team members can thrive, succeed and grow. We support flexibility, take care of each other, have fun, and create professional growth opportunities.

Priority application deadline: December 5, or until we've reached a critical mass of applications

Location: this role is remote, but with a very strong preference for candidates located in the EAT timezone and/or in any of GiveDirectly’s countries of operation. If not located in an EAT timezone, the selected candidate will need to overlap at least 3 hours with EAT.

About the role

GiveDirectly is seeking an experienced, business-oriented Head of People to design and run the human systems that power our mission. You’ll connect talent to organizational performance in a global, distributed, and exceptionally lean context—serving as both architect and hands-on operator across talent acquisition, org design, leadership development, performance, rewards, HR operations, and employee relations. 

This role is remote with a strong preference for East Africa Time (EAT) working hours and/or candidates based in countries where we operate; if outside EAT, at least 3 hours of overlap with EAT is required.

Reports to: Chief Operating Officer

Travel Requirement: Must be able to travel ~3-4 times per year to one of our countries of operation for team retreats or field visits

Level: We are open to considering exceptional candidates at both the Senior Director and Vice President levels, depending on experience and fit.

What we’re looking for:

• People-as-performance operator:Strong business acumen with a track record of treating the People function as a driver of company/organizational outcomes (talent density, speed, quality, and reliability)—not just a compliance, people support, or admin team.
• A builder in lean, distributed environments:Demonstrated success building simple, scalable systems (hiring, performance, rewards, workforce models, HRIS) across multiple countries and regulatory contexts—with high judgment on tradeoffs under tight constraints.
• Trusted pair of hands for complex employee relations:Depth in sensitive employee relations, risk management, and safeguarding across very diverse contexts and cultural settings; calm, discreet, and principled.
• Exceptional leader and manager:Recruits, calibrates, and develops senior talent; sets a high bar; builds a small, high-leverage team and operating cadence that scales.
• First-principles, outcome oriented problem solver:Structured, analytical thinker who disaggregates problems, designs from first principles, iterates quickly, and measures results.
• Varied context experience:Comfort moving between private sector and NGO settings and between different org sizes; able to bring best-of-both to GD’s model.

What you’ll do:

• Make talent a competitive advantage:Raise the hiring bar; build a repeatable “hiring machine” (calibration, principles/values assessment, structured loops, quality-at-30/90 days). Build a proactive network and bench for executive and scarce roles.
• Design performance + rewards:Implement a lightweight, high-signal performance system tied to development and consequences; refresh compensation and total rewards to attract and retain top talent in our markets while preserving our lean model and staying economically efficient as an organization.
• Be the steady employee relations advisor:Lead on sensitive personnel matters with discretion and fairness; support investigations, safeguarding, crisis response, and change communications.
• Coach and level up leadership:Partner with the CEO/COO and executives on org design, succession, and leadership effectiveness; intervene early to raise or replace when needed.
• Build scalable global people ops:Improve HRIS/workforce tools; standardize core processes; ensure compliant, efficient operations across countries (subsidiaries, contractors, EOR/PEO) in close partnership with Finance and Legal.
• Strengthen culture and engagement:Ensure our values are felt and lived across the organization; that staff are supported to be at their best thanks to inclusive practices that build growth, trust, belonging, creativity, and execution speed.
• Own people analytics:Ship leadership dashboards (headcount, hiring velocity/quality, retention, eNPS/voice, performance distribution) to inform decisions and accountability.
• Operate with leverage:Keep the People team small, senior, and high-output; set SLAs, clarify ownership, and continuously remove friction for program and fundraising teams.

Compensation

At GiveDirectly we aim to pay generously and equitably. We benchmark total compensation (base + bonus) to the ~75th percentile for comparable roles and maintain a no-negotiation policy to promote equity across staff. The base salary will be benchmarked to the candidate’s location; we will share the relevant salary benchmark during the hiring process. Read more about our compensation philosophy here.

We are open to considering exceptional candidates at both the Senior Director and Vice President levels, depending on experience and fit.

• The United Statesbase salary range for this role is $154,500 - $200,000 depending on level, with an additional 15% bonus.
• The Kenyabase salary for this role is $120,000 - $145,000 depending on level, with an additional 15% bonus.

This role is fully remote, so if you are not based in the US or Kenya, we will share an estimated salary benchmark for the country you are based in during the hiring process.

Why work at GiveDirectly?

At GiveDirectly, we work to ensure that you have everything you need to excel in your role and on your team, including:

• A supportive team that works hard and cares hard
• A robust health benefits plan (exact details will vary by country)
• Flexible paid time off that staff is encouraged to take
• Allowances for desk set-up and learning and development

About GiveDirectly

GiveDirectly (GD) aims to reshape international giving – and millions of lives – by providing cash grants directly to the world’s poorest. The Brookings Institution estimates that $70B of cash transfers would be required to eliminate the poverty gap; the aid sector currently spends $135B each year, much of it on evidence-free interventions. GiveDirectly wants to change that, establishing cash transfers as a benchmark for foreign aid – as the index fund is a benchmark for the financial industry – and in the process accelerating the end of extreme poverty.

GD has raised over $1B since launching in 2011, delivered cash to more than 1.5 million people in 15 different countries. We’ve also supported large-scale, experimental research that indicates strong recipient impact of our programs. As a result, GD has been celebrated as one of the most innovative non-profit companies by Fast Company, while the growing cash transfer movement (and GD’s leading role within it) have been featured in the New York Times Magazine, This American Life, Foreign Affairs, and The Economist.

Our culture is candid, analytical, agile, and non-hierarchical. Our global team of ~150, and country operations teams of ~650, together come from 21 different countries speaking 69 different languages. From software engineers to seasoned humanitarian workers, former management consultants to public servants, researchers to field operations -- it’s an incredible group of people.

Our values are central and deliberately opinionated. We genuinely center the people we serve in our decision making, and strive to build an ambitious, dynamic and high performing environment. We strongly encourage you to read through our values carefully, if they reflect how you like to work and energize you, this could be a great fit.

We work hard to create an environment in which all our team members can thrive, succeed and grow. We support flexibility, take care of each other, have fun, and create professional growth opportunities.

Priority application deadline: December 5, or until we've reached a critical mass of applications

Location: this role is remote, but with a very strong preference for candidates located in the EAT timezone and/or in any of GiveDirectly’s countries of operation. If not located in an EAT timezone, the selected candidate will need to overlap at least 3 hours with EAT.

About the role

GiveDirectly is seeking an experienced, business-oriented Head of People to design and run the human systems that power our mission. You’ll connect talent to organizational performance in a global, distributed, and exceptionally lean context—serving as both architect and hands-on operator across talent acquisition, org design, leadership development, performance, rewards, HR operations, and employee relations. 

This role is remote with a strong preference for East Africa Time (EAT) working hours and/or candidates based in countries where we operate; if outside EAT, at least 3 hours of overlap with EAT is required.

Reports to: Chief Operating Officer

Travel Requirement: Must be able to travel ~3-4 times per year to one of our countries of operation for team retreats or field visits

Level: We are open to considering exceptional candidates at both the Senior Director and Vice President levels, depending on experience and fit.

What we’re looking for:

• People-as-performance operator:Strong business acumen with a track record of treating the People function as a driver of company/organizational outcomes (talent density, speed, quality, and reliability)—not just a compliance, people support, or admin team.
• A builder in lean, distributed environments:Demonstrated success building simple, scalable systems (hiring, performance, rewards, workforce models, HRIS) across multiple countries and regulatory contexts—with high judgment on tradeoffs under tight constraints.
• Trusted pair of hands for complex employee relations:Depth in sensitive employee relations, risk management, and safeguarding across very diverse contexts and cultural settings; calm, discreet, and principled.
• Exceptional leader and manager:Recruits, calibrates, and develops senior talent; sets a high bar; builds a small, high-leverage team and operating cadence that scales.
• First-principles, outcome oriented problem solver:Structured, analytical thinker who disaggregates problems, designs from first principles, iterates quickly, and measures results.
• Varied context experience:Comfort moving between private sector and NGO settings and between different org sizes; able to bring best-of-both to GD’s model.

What you’ll do:

• Make talent a competitive advantage:Raise the hiring bar; build a repeatable “hiring machine” (calibration, principles/values assessment, structured loops, quality-at-30/90 days). Build a proactive network and bench for executive and scarce roles.
• Design performance + rewards:Implement a lightweight, high-signal performance system tied to development and consequences; refresh compensation and total rewards to attract and retain top talent in our markets while preserving our lean model and staying economically efficient as an organization.
• Be the steady employee relations advisor:Lead on sensitive personnel matters with discretion and fairness; support investigations, safeguarding, crisis response, and change communications.
• Coach and level up leadership:Partner with the CEO/COO and executives on org design, succession, and leadership effectiveness; intervene early to raise or replace when needed.
• Build scalable global people ops:Improve HRIS/workforce tools; standardize core processes; ensure compliant, efficient operations across countries (subsidiaries, contractors, EOR/PEO) in close partnership with Finance and Legal.
• Strengthen culture and engagement:Ensure our values are felt and lived across the organization; that staff are supported to be at their best thanks to inclusive practices that build growth, trust, belonging, creativity, and execution speed.
• Own people analytics:Ship leadership dashboards (headcount, hiring velocity/quality, retention, eNPS/voice, performance distribution) to inform decisions and accountability.
• Operate with leverage:Keep the People team small, senior, and high-output; set SLAs, clarify ownership, and continuously remove friction for program and fundraising teams.

Compensation

At GiveDirectly we aim to pay generously and equitably. We benchmark total compensation (base + bonus) to the ~75th percentile for comparable roles and maintain a no-negotiation policy to promote equity across staff. The base salary will be benchmarked to the candidate’s location; we will share the relevant salary benchmark during the hiring process. Read more about our compensation philosophy here.

We are open to considering exceptional candidates at both the Senior Director and Vice President levels, depending on experience and fit.

• The United Statesbase salary range for this role is $154,500 - $200,000 depending on level, with an additional 15% bonus.
• The Kenyabase salary for this role is $120,000 - $145,000 depending on level, with an additional 15% bonus.

This role is fully remote, so if you are not based in the US or Kenya, we will share an estimated salary benchmark for the country you are based in during the hiring process.

Why work at GiveDirectly?

At GiveDirectly, we work to ensure that you have everything you need to excel in your role and on your team, including:

• A supportive team that works hard and cares hard
• A robust health benefits plan (exact details will vary by country)
• Flexible paid time off that staff is encouraged to take
