About the Organisation

GiveDirectly is a pioneering nonprofit organization dedicated to providing unconditional cash transfers to individuals living in extreme poverty, empowering recipients to make decisions that best improve their lives. With a reputation for transparency and impact, GiveDirectly has gained global recognition for its innovative approach to philanthropy, which cuts out the traditional overhead and intermediaries.

The organization fosters a work culture that values collaboration, integrity, and impact, offering employees opportunities to contribute to meaningful social change while growing professionally. It offers flexible work arrangements and a range of positions across various global locations, making it an attractive employer for those passionate about social justice.

Founded in 2009, GiveDirectly has evolved by leveraging technology to facilitate direct donations and ensure efficiency, becoming one of the most trusted organizations in the cash transfer space. Its business model is rooted in evidence-based solutions, utilizing data and innovation to optimize the effectiveness of cash transfers in alleviating poverty. With operations in multiple countries across Africa and Asia, GiveDirectly continues to expand its reach, distributing millions of dollars directly to impoverished communities.

Core values of empowerment, dignity, and accountability guide their work, while their commitment to social responsibility is reflected in their dedication to improving the lives of the poor, promoting financial inclusion, and driving systemic change. For more information, visit www.givedirectly.org.

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. Team members bring experiences from the private sector, NGOs and government. 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, fast moving 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 actively seek to recruit individuals from the communities we serve, and are constantly working to foster a workplace that supports diversity, and is truly inclusive in reality, not just intent. We support flexibility, take care of each other, have fun, and create professional growth opportunities.

We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer, and we do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, or any other status protected by law.
