Chief Executive Officer | Remote

Sustainable water management is one of the most challenging issues of our time. Adequate freshwater supplies are critical for the health of communities and wildlife, and nothing is more important to agriculture’s ability to grow food. Roughly 1.7 billion people live in places, including the western United States, where unsustainable water withdrawals already threaten long-term water supplies, and water shortages are expected to increase in the majority of countries around the world. Climate-driven water scarcity and declining aquifers necessitate more precise measurement and efficient use of water to continue supporting vibrant communities and ecosystems while also producing food for the world’s growing population.

To sustain our water supplies and their many uses, decision-makers must understand not only how much water is available, but also how much water is being used. While supplies have long been tracked, information about water use — especially by crops and other vegetation — has been difficult to obtain. In most settings, this transfer of water back into the atmosphere is the second largest component (after precipitation) in the water cycle, yet access to this data has previously been limited and expensive, keeping it out of the hands of most water users and decision-makers.

OpenET (openetdata.org) is a nonprofit collaborative that generates evapotranspiration (ET) data for user-defined geographies and time frames across the western United States through an online platform that employs several well-established methods to generate daily, monthly, and annual satellite-based ET estimates. The web-based platform consists of data visualization and access tools as well as an application programming interface (API), providing publicly accessible and scientifically rigorous ET data and filling a critically important data gap in water management. The organization recently released a beta version of its newest application, the Farm and Ranch Management Support (FARMS), to allow users to make customized data requests and reports using a simple user interface. OpenET uses the best available science and publicly available data to increase access to satellite-based ET and consumptive water use information for farmers and water managers.

The OpenET collaborative includes leading national and international experts in remote sensing of ET, cloud computing, and water policy, partnered with internationally recognized web development teams and leaders in the western agriculture and water management communities. Core implementing partners include the Desert Research Institute, Environmental Defense Fund, and California State University – Monterey Bay. Cooperating federal agencies include NASA, USGS and USDA.

OpenET is driving transformational change in water management across the Western United States. The data it provides can help farmers improve irrigation practices; evaluate water conservation strategies, such as alternative crops; and reduce the costs of fertilizer, water, and energy. OpenET can also help rural communities design water accounting and trading programs to guide decisions about water use, and it can help build new water conservation programs. OpenET enables water managers and policymakers to develop and track more accurate water budgets in near real-time, and better operate water management systems. Finally, access to this information significantly increases the ability to collaborate across different scales of decision-making - OpenET enables policymakers and water managers to co-develop solutions with local communities, reduce the burden of regulatory compliance, and design incentive programs that support more sustainable water management.

Demand for OpenET data has accelerated since the launch of the public data explorer in 2021 and the application programming interface (API) in 2023. OpenET’s public data explorer and API are gaining traction across the American West and around the world — with over 5,000 OpenET user accounts and 130,000 API queries.

Internally, the Chief Executive Officer will develop and execute a corresponding business plan in cooperation with the Consortium Partners and the Board of Directors with pathways for global expansion. This dynamic leader will drive OpenET and the Consortium to realize the transformative potential of OpenET data to improve water management policies and practices.

Advocacy Officer | Remote

The Brave Movement is a survivor-centered global movement campaigning to end childhood sexual violence.

Millions of children worldwide experience sexual violence. This threatens the safety and protection of all children and adolescents in our communities.

Childhood sexual violence remains a taboo and continues to affect individuals, families and communities globally. For many years, victims have been silenced, stigmatized, and shamed whilst perpetrators have been exempt from justice.

That changes now: sexual violence against children must be recognized worldwide as an unacceptable, preventable, and criminal act.

The Brave Movement is led by survivors of sexual violence with different backgrounds and experiences who share a common knowledge of what it’s like to feel alone, to be hidden, to live scared and to hold onto misplaced blame. As part of a growing global alliance, standing alongside these courageous survivors, the Brave Movements is campaigning to turn the shame onto perpetrators and systems that protect them and is determined to ensure that other children do not experience what our survivor leaders have.

Through the Brave Movement, survivors and allies together, we are calling for bold and transformative action to end childhood sexual violence for good.

Chief Executive Officer | Remote

IDinsight is a mission-driven global advisory, data analytics, and research organization that helps global development leaders maximize their social impact. We tailor a wide range of data and evidence tools, including randomized evaluations and machine learning, to help decision-makers design effective programs and rigorously test what works to support communities. IDinsight works with governments, multilaterals, foundations, and innovative non-profit organizations in Asia and Africa. We work across a wide range of sectors, including agriculture, education, health, governance, sanitation, and financial inclusion. Our team is made up of exceptional economists, data scientists, policy experts, and development professionals.

What we do

Through innovation, direct project work, and by working to transform the sector, IDinsight helps combat poverty using data and evidence.

We create and adapt cutting-edge data and evidence tools from tech, industry, and academia to meet the needs of governments, non-profits, and social enterprises. We launch initiatives that advocate for and enable practitioners to use evidence-driven approaches accountable to the people they serve. Our project work includes impact evaluations, Embedded Learning Partnerships with some of the world’s largest most influential policymakers and development organizations, and other services that facilitate data-driven decision-making. Read about our projects here.

Vision: Improve millions of lives by transforming how the social sector innovates, learns, and improves.

Mission: Help leaders use data and evidence to combat poverty.

The Opportunity

Globally, hundreds of millions of people are kept from fulfilling their human capabilities due to limited opportunities and freedoms. Reducing poverty and improving wellbeing by addressing the daunting “unfreedoms” of poor health and learning outcomes, economic and physical insecurity, and political marginalization represent the biggest challenges of our times. Yet resources dedicated to these challenges are not yet achieving the impact they could. Decisions on what problems to address are not informed by data and evidence that reflect people’s lives and pathways to progress.

In the fight against poverty, knowledge is power; those who use data and evidence have an edge. Few organizations, whether public or private, have the in-house capacity to generate the insights that provide this edge. This is where IDinsight comes in. We provide data and evidence services, tailored to our partners’ constraints and contexts, to amplify their impact. Our partners across Asia and Africa — whether government agencies, non-governmental organizations, or organizations providing external funding — use the insights we generate because they trust and respect the quality of our work and the intentions behind it.

We are looking for a CEO to build off of our successes and drive forward our social impact at a pivotal point of organizational growth. This is an outstanding opportunity for a leader with true vision and the ambition to create large-scale social impact using data and evidence. Idinsight’s next CEO must bring compelling leadership experience in growing organizations in the global development field, with demonstrated success applying innovative measurement, analytics, and evidence tools to complex problems.

The Role

Building on IDinsight’s strengths and impressive results to date, the CEO will engage the Board and IDinsight senior leadership to co-own the next phase of IDinsight’s ambitious strategy and growth plan to achieve social impact at scale and influence how the development sector makes decisions. IDinsight’s CEO will be accountable for driving forward the organization’s (1) vision and strategy, (2) social impact, (3) people, culture, and values, (4) external influence, (5) financial health, and (6) Board development.

This endeavor demands a leader who can: inspire the broader global development field and its decision-makers to adopt data and evidence-based approaches. They will attract, empower, and mentor internal leaders; guide IDinsight strategy; demonstrate IDinsight’s values in every action; conceptualize and launch large, high-impact new initiatives; and attract financial resources to fund innovative projects and the organization’s scale-up. IDinsight’s senior leadership, including highly independent regional directors will allow the CEO to focus on the most high-leverage strategic and influential initiatives to achieve our mission.

  • Model and drive organizational culture to create cohesion amongst distributed teams.
  • Champion organizational values so as to attract and retain mission-driven team members.

  • Create and increase IDinsight’s brand recognition as an exemplary organization in terms of impact, innovation, and influence.
  • Inspire all of IDinsight’s constituents and position the organization as an influential thought leader.

Head of Philanthropy | Remote

Head of Philanthropy

Location: Hybrid, globally remote and home-based with regular time in the Geneva office

Reporting to: Director of Operations with close collaboration with the Executive Director

Manages: Line management of two          

Annual salary: 140,000 CHF, salary will be adapted for other locations

Contract type: Permanent

Working hours: Full-time

Candidate level: Management

Background

The tragedy of conflict-related sexual violence persists as women: mothers, sisters, daughters, and men: boys, fathers and sons are raped and sexually tortured without restraint. Once, twice, dozens of times or more, by perpetrators who continue to walk free, leaving survivors’ lives shattered. This reality remains as unacceptable as ever and failure to recognise the harm caused or to provide redress exacerbates the damage done.

The Global Survivors Fund (GSF) was launched in 2019 by Nobel Peace Prize laureates, Dr Denis Mukwege and Nadia Murad, with a mission to enhance access to reparations for survivors of conflict-related sexual violence across the globe.

GSF acts to provide reparative measures in situations where others are unable or unwilling to meet their responsibilities, responding to a gap long identified by survivors. As well, GSF also assists and advocates for the international community to develop supportive, reparative programmes for survivors around the globe. With a survivor-centric approach as the cornerstone of its work, GSF is establishing an important new team that will shape and lead GSF’s ambitious goals and vision.

Up until now, GSF have almost exclusively raised funds from governments and public institutions, however, the inaugural Head of Philanthropy will be responsible for spearheading GSF´s diversification of income sources from trusts, foundations, and private philanthropists. 

Purpose of role

The Head of Philanthropy will be responsible for leading and driving the private funding strategy to deliver 5 M CHF annually by 2026. The strategy is focused on raising funds from national and global cross-border trusts, foundations, and private philanthropists with a particular focus on the USA, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and the Nordic countries.

GSF already have a strong network of contacts and the Head of Philanthropy will work with existing contacts and build up new, long-term relationships with donors to deliver the fundraising strategy. GSF is currently in the process of setting up registration in the USA to facilitate fundraising.  

This is an exciting opportunity to nurture and grow a team, and closely collaborate with colleagues. Once in post, the Head of Philanthropy will appoint two new positions to be line managed and cultivated, creating an effective, driven fundraising team.

Leading the new team, the Head of Philanthropy sits within the directorate which leads on global engagement with all donors. Adept at working in all traditional environments, as well as engaging with new philanthropists, the successful candidate will confidently speak and persuade donors to ‘live and breathe’ their commitment to GSF’s unique work to support survivors.

Responsibilities

The successful candidate will have the following key responsibilities:

  • Drive the private funding strategy, with clear focus on agreed goals and targets.
  • Ensure rigorous prospect identification, research, and network planning and develop clear stewardship and solicitation plans for key funding prospects.
  • Working with the Executive Team to leverage GSF’s networks to secure new contacts, influencers, and funders.
  • Produce compelling proposals, tailored to specific donors, within the desired funding parameters for the GSF’s strategic pillars: act, advocate and guide, and manage internal approval process.
  • Develop excellent account management for secured donors.
  • Establish strong collaborative relationships across GSF to support fundraising outreach, excellent relationship building, and reporting.
  • Advise GSF’s staff on fundraising best practices for maximum impact.
  • Recruit and lead the fundraising team, fostering a culture of excellent teamwork.
  • Oversee the organization and running of GSF events for donor cultivation and reporting, in close collaboration with the Executive and Communications Teams.
  • Design standards for private funding success, developing and monitoring metrics to measure and identify areas of success and opportunity.

  • Collaborate with the Advocacy Team, as needed, to support leveraging of repurposed assets as an additional funding stream,
  • Track donor funding data, create income projections and set goals.
  • Manage the team expenditure budget and produce financial reports as required.

Profile

The Global Survivors Fund is committed to diversity, gender balance and inclusion, as well as reflecting the diversity of the places where we work and the communities we work with, therefore we encourage applications from qualified professionals from all backgrounds, cultures, or beliefs.

GSF is seeking a self-starter who will position GSF as a leading actor in its mission to enhance survivors’ access to reparations. The ideal candidate will be an experienced, entrepreneurial strategic thinker, with relationship and stewardship prowess and a proven track record of securing high-value multi-year funding commitments and developing and implementing a dynamic fundraising strategy.

MADRE is an international women's human rights organization and feminist fund that partners with community based women's groups in Africa, Asia and the Pacific, Latin America and the Caribbean, and the Middle East who face war and humanitarian disasters.

We have been privileged to be the first grantmaker to hundreds of under-resourced organizations that frequently cannot access traditional funding sources.

Program Manager for Racial Equity | Remote


The Center for Effective Public Policy (CEPP) envisions a world where justice means strong, healthy communities for everyone. For the last 40 years, we have worked collaboratively with criminal justice system professionals and their partners to improve their systems and facilitate equitable, systemic, and sustainable change.

CEPP’s work focuses on reimagining justice solutions and reducing reliance on incarceration; strengthening communities and improving outcomes for people on community supervision; addressing unique needs, such as justice-involved women; and advancing system change through training, resources, and team building. Our team members have varied experiences and a deep understanding of justice-related issues. Our office is based in the greater D.C. area, but nearly all staff members work from their home-based locations around the country.

CEPP seeks to add a full-time (remotely located) Program Manager for Racial Equity to our team. This new position will support and report to CEPP’s Senior Manager for Racial Equity and Justice. CEPP understands and acknowledges that institutional racism permeates our society and our justice system. Black, brown, and poor people are jailed at much higher rates than others. These disparities devastate the lives of the people and communities impacted and undermine the integrity of our system of justice. CEPP believes and holds as one of its guiding principles that efforts to improve criminal legal system practices must include deliberate strategies to eliminate racial, ethnic, gender, and economic disparities.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

This role represents a unique opportunity to be a part of CEPP’s efforts to help organizations better understand racial disparities in the criminal legal system and to share knowledge and inform the field about systemic racism, the value of community engagement, and steps that can be taken to advance equitable and sustainable policy change. The Program Manager will be responsible for:
Supporting the integration of racial equity and community engagement into CEPP’s existing and forthcoming projects. Working as part of a team that supports local criminal legal system teams and CEPP staff in their efforts to address racial and ethnic disparities and to engage the community in their work.

CorStone is headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland, US and currently conducts programs in India, Rwanda and Kenya. 
 
We believe that cultivating emotional resilience is a foundational step in helping youth to thrive—one which is often missing in development programs worldwide. Our evidence-based resilience programs work from the ‘inside out’, employing a strength-based approach to target the internal and social assets that youth need to overcome challenges and flourish. Research shows that CorStone’s Youth First and Girls First resilience programs improve mental, emotional, social, physical wellbeing, and school engagement in a host of diverse, marginalized populations.
 
Over the past decade, CorStone has provided resilience-based training to nearly 200,000 marginalized youth across India, Rwanda, and Kenya, and is set to reach approximately 5 million youth per year by 2025 via partnerships with governments and other NGOs. We have also conducted some of the first and largest studies of resilience interventions in LMIC populations. 
 
We are launching a network model that will allow local organizations and governments to adapt and conduct Youth First among their students.

This position represents an important member of our leadership team at CorStone and will also participate as a member of CorStone’s the Leadership Board.
 
Responsibilities

Policy Officer | Belgium

Are you interested in working on digital economy, international cooperation and Africa-Europe relations, and do you have experience in policy-oriented research and project leadership? We are looking for a policy officer to join our team on digital economy and governance in Maastricht or Brussels.

Who are we?
The European Centre for Development Policy Management (ECDPM) is a leading independent ‘think and do tank’ that wants to make policies in Europe and Africa work for inclusive and sustainable development. We have two offices: one in Maastricht and one in Brussels.

Our digital economy and governance team wants to promote strong digital partnerships between the EU, the AU and other regional blocs.

In the next year, the team will look at various aspects of digital cooperation in EU foreign and development policy. This may include research on how the digital element of the EU’s Global Gateway connectivity strategy lands in Africa, the Asia-Pacific region, Latin America and the Caribbean.

You will report to the team lead, and will be based in our head office in Maastricht, our office in Brussels, or within the Netherlands or Belgium.
