Job Title: Global Recruitment Coordinator (Remote Jobs)

Organisation: GiveDirectly

Duty Station: Kampala, Uganda

About Organisation:

GiveDirectly is driving a re-evaluation of the assumptions underlying international philanthropy with a provocative model: we deliver donations directly to the extreme poor and let them decide what to do with them. This approach builds on two converging trends: the rapid spread of electronic last-mile payments solutions in the emerging markets, and the large body of experimental evidence showing that direct transfers are as or more cost-effective at reducing poverty than more traditional, top-down approaches. GiveDirectly’s field operations utilize state-of-the-art technology and business processes to deliver transfers securely, efficiently, and transparently. Our unorthodox approach – allowing the poor, and not the donor, to choose where they invest – has prompted debate in the popular press and among policy makers.

Job Summary: GiveDirectly is hiring two exceptional Coordinators to join our growing People Team. If you’re passionate about building world-class employee experiences and want to be part of a mission-driven organization that cares for its people, this is the role for you.

As a Coordinator, you’ll play a critical role in enabling our People function to scale its impact. Whether you’re supporting the end-to-end hiring process, or ensuring smooth and consistent People Operations for our global team, your work will directly contribute to making GiveDirectly an outstanding place to work.

Please Note: While we love career changers and non-traditional backgrounds across many of our roles, this particular opening requires prior direct recruitment experience. We unfortunately aren’t able to consider applications from candidates who haven’t worked in recruitment before. If that’s you, we’d still love for you to keep an eye on our careers page for future openings!
