Who You Are:

Excited by scale and complexity, and motivated to implement long-term, strategic solutions.
Able to communicate clearly with developers, leadership, and external partners alike.

Why Join Us:

Opportunity to work for a Tech for Good organisation where your work genuinely contributes to making life better in some of the poorer communities on earth
