About GiveDirectly
GiveDirectly (GD) aims to reshape international giving – and millions of lives – by providing cash grants directly to the world's poorest. The Brookings Institution estimates that $70B of cash transfers would be required to eliminate the poverty gap; the aid sector currently spends $35B each year, much of it on evidence-free interventions. GiveDirectly wants to change that, establishing cash transfers as a benchmark for foreign aid – as the index fund is a benchmark for the financial industry – and in the process accelerating the end of extreme poverty.

GD has raised over $1B ince launching in 2011, delivered cash to more than 1.5 million people in 15 different countries. We've also supported large-scale, experimental research that indicates strong recipient impact of our programs. As a result, GD has been celebrated as one of the most innovative non-profit companies by Fast Company, while the growing cash transfer movement (and GD's leading role within it) have been featured in the New York Times Magazine, This American Life, Foreign Affairs, and The Economist.

Our culture is candid, analytical, agile, and non-hierarchical. Our global team of ~150, and country operations teams of ~650, together come from 21 different countries speaking 69 different languages. From software engineers to seasoned humanitarian workers, former management consultants to public servants, researchers to field operations -- it's an incredible group of people.

Our values are central and deliberately opinionated. We genuinely center the people we serve in our decision making, and strive to build an ambitious, dynamic and high performing environment. We strongly encourage you to read through our values carefully, if they reflect how you like to work and energize you, this could be a great fit.

We work hard to create an environment in which all our team members can thrive, succeed and grow. We support flexibility, take care of each other, have fun, and create professional growth opportunities.

Overview
The Internal Audit Field Officer will play a critical day-to-day role in ensuring that GiveDirectly is able to deliver cash transfers to recipients safely. The Field Officer will be part of the team that is responsible for preventing, detecting, mitigating, and investigating field-based risks for GiveDirectly.

The role will reward high-quality judgment on operational questions and challenges, a strong work ethic, effective communication skills, attention to detail, a strong sense of independence, and a strong commitment to GiveDirectly's mission and model. In essence, the Internal Audit Field Officer will be expected to audit the work of the enrolment team, whose core responsibility is surveying households and enrolling them in our programs.

Due to the sensitive nature of the work done by the internal audit team, we require all in-country internal audit staff to remain firewalled from the rest of the staff. This means operating discretely and independently, with interactions strictly limited to just the colleagues within the same team. The role holder will be expected to carry out day-to-day audit tasks with an absolute level of discretion, impartiality, neutrality, and independence.
