GiveDirectly aims to reshape international giving. We provide an end-to-end platform that enables funders to provide direct cash transfers to the extreme poor. We are among the fastest-growing international development non-profits and are recipients of a Google Global Impact Award and a top rating from GiveWell.
Our unorthodox approach – allowing the poor, and not the donor, to choose how to invest – has driven debate both in press and policy circles (e.g., NPR’sThis American Life, Foreign Affairs, The Economist, New York Times, The Guardian). We are also known for our extensive integration of technology into field processes; our quantitative approach to performance measurement; and our commitment to rigorous, independent, experimental evaluation of our impact, with one Randomized Controlled Trial completed and multiple additional RCTs in progress.
We are looking for a
Data Manager
and exceptional talent to help build a startup into a world-class organization. Our culture is professional, analytical, non-hierarchical, fast-paced, and blunt, and we’re looking for people that match that description. We are open to candidates from any industry; we typically recruit from top private-sector firms.
Description:
We're looking for a highly analytical and driven individual to tackle some of GiveDirectly’s most complex data challenges. Responsible for developing and maintaining scalable processes that collect information from cash transfer recipients all over the world, creating data models to consolidate and represent information from disparate sources in a consistent fashion, running processes that facilitate the actual delivery of cash transfers, and building analytical dashboards to display information about the entire operation to managers and board members. The individual must be very comfortable learning and working with new technologies and is expected to collaborate closely with engineers to achieve these goals. Successful candidates will have a degree in an analytical discipline (math, engineering, science), at least two years of professional experience in a related role, and be comfortable in a meritocratic environment with frank, honest feedback. This position will report to the Director of Information Systems.
