    The Foundation

    We are the largest nonprofit fighting poverty, disease, and inequity around the world. Founded on a simple premise: people everywhere, regardless of identity or circumstances, should have the chance to live healthy, productive lives. We believe our employees should reflect the rich diversity of the global populations we aim to serve. We provide an exceptional benefits package to employees and their families which include comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage with no premiums, generous paid time off, paid family leave, foundation-paid retirement contribution, regional holidays, and opportunities to engage in several employee communities. As a workplace, we’re committed to creating an environment for you to thrive both personally and professionally.

    The Team

    The Foundation partners with people and organizations worldwide, through grant making, to tackle critical problems across various program areas and divisions. Our Global Growth & Opportunity (GGO) Division focuses on creating and scaling market-based innovations to stimulate inclusive and sustainable economic growth.  GGO focuses on the areas of Agricultural Development, Global Education, Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI), Inclusive Financial Systems (IFS), Nutrition, and Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WSH). We believe that people are poor because markets do not work for them, and we promote innovative products and policies that can break down barriers to economic opportunity, help people lift themselves out of poverty, and deliver sustainable and inclusive growth that benefits everyone.

    The foundation’s Global Education (Global Ed) team works to improve reading and math outcomes – also referred to as foundational learning – for primary school aged children in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Reading and basic math skills are the foundation to gain future educational and economic opportunities and translate to inclusive growth and development. Too many children leave primary school without these basic skills: an estimated 70% of children in low- and middle-income countries – and 89% of children in sub-Saharan Africa – are unable to read by age 10. Our focus is to strengthen education quality for children in primary school, and our emphasis is on identifying, advocating for, and funding evidence driven, cost-effective, and scalable interventions that improve learning outcomes at scale within government systems.

    Your Role

    The Global Ed team is recruiting a Senior Program Officer (SPO) to design and manage high impact investments to generate evidence on how to strengthen numeracy outcomes in early grades in India and sub-Saharan Africa.
