Why this is on the board
Since 2011 GiveDirectly has transferred more than a billion dollars directly to people living in poverty. In this role you work alongside the finance director on the planning and analyses that determine how that money is allocated: every percent you gain in accuracy or efficiency is money that reaches someone instead of going into overheads.
About the role
GiveDirectly has delivered more than $1B in cash directly to 2+ million people living in poverty across 15 countries since 2011. We believe cash transfers are one of the most scalable, cost-effective, and dignified forms of aid, with the research to back it up. Our work has been covered by The Economist, NPR, TED, and The Washington Post. We are one of Time100's Most Influential Companies of 2026.

What do you make of this?
The board is still in beta, so this is exactly the moment to say what you think. A vacancy we have missed, a judgement you do not share, something that does not work — all of it helps.
