ASAP
Location: Country headquarters (Kigali)

Background: 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 tren

ds: 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. GiveDirectly has been featured on
NPR’s This American Life, and in Foreign AffairsThe Economist, and The New York Times. It was named one of the Top
10 Most Innovative Companies in Finance by FastCompany, one of the 25 Most Audacious
Companies byInc., and one of GiveWell’s top-rated charities
for 4 years running.

Overview: GiveDirectly is in
the process of opening its Rwanda country office and seeks a dynamic team of
managers to help with the set-up of the country office and then to manage its
operations. The Human Resources Manager (“HRM”) will play a key role in
sourcing and managing talent within GiveDirectly’s growing field organization.
The HRM will build robust protocols to support rapid on-boarding of staff and
cost-effective monitoring of ongoing performance. The role will allow
GiveDirectly to meet ambitious growth targets by enabling commensurate
expansion of the team and accompanying HR systems / policies. The HRM position
will award exceptional communication skills, strong attention to detail, and a
deep interest in building and scaling GD’s organizational culture and values.
