As of 8 July 2019, applications for roles listed on this page have closed, and we are no longer accepting applications. This post will remain up for informational/archival purposes only.

We’re looking for eager and dedicated individuals to join our core team! Specifically, we’re looking for:

• A Regional Support Team Lead to manage a team of Regional Leads who support local and national civil society in Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa. Regional Leads work with partners to design and implement projects with tech and data components and build their long-term strategic data and tech capacity through our Matchbox programme and other regionally-focused projects.
• A Technical Project Manager to manage tech- and data-heavy projects that seek to advance social justice, working closely with partners to ensure these projects are designed and implemented in a way that meets their needs.
• A Project Assistant to support our team to research, design and implement projects. They will assist their colleagues in carrying out projects by conducting research and making sure projects stay on track.
• A Technologist interested in using their technical expertise towards projects that contribute to social change. The goal of this position is to build our in-house technical capabilities in areas that could include software or web development, data science, machine learning and more. We are open to receiving applications from a wide range of individuals who have one or more technical specialisations, and we expect to at least hire one part-time team member, with the possibility of contracting with other applicants as project-based consultants.
