About GiveDirectly
What if the most effective way to fight poverty was also the simplest: give people money and trust them to decide what they need?
Since 2011, GiveDirectly has proven that idea at scale. We’ve delivered more than $1B in cash directly to 2+ million people living in poverty and crisis across 15 countries, and rigorous research shows the results: healthier kids, stronger businesses, sturdier homes, and more resilient families and local economies. Cash is now widely recognized as one of the most scalable, cost-effective, and dignified forms of aid.
Our ambition goes beyond our own programs. We want cash to become the benchmark for aid, much as the index fund became the benchmark for investing, so that every aid dollar is held to one question:
is this doing more good than giving the money directly to people living in poverty?
We’re growing fast, and this is a rare and important moment to join.
We expect to hit $1B in revenue in 2026 with significant growth forecast for 2027. At the same time we are building a new technology stack and operating model designed for a roughly 10x change in scale, and we are actively pursuing partnerships with major funders to move even more money in bigger ways, to people who need it. We are known for our extensive integration of technology into field processes; our quantitative approach to performance measurement; and our commitment to rigorous, independent, experimental evaluation of our impact, with multiple Randomized Control Trials completed and others in progress.
How we work
Our team spans 20+ countries and 69 languages. Our culture is candid, analytical, and non-hierarchical. We expect high ownership and give people real responsibility early. Our values are central to how we hire, work, and grow, and they are deliberately opinionated:
Recipients first.
Recipients’ preferences come before those of donors or ourselves.
Team next.
We optimize for organizational success, not individual success.
Be proactively candid.
We say what we believe and share information openly.
Create positive energy.
We aim to be a source of energy for colleagues, not a drain.
Think rigorously; act quickly.
We reason from first principles, then act rather than debate.
Know yourself and grow.
We own our imperfections and seek feedback to grow.
Accept reality. Propose solutions.
We focus on what can change and bring solutions, not just problems.
Be productively ambitious.
We take risks for step-change impact, not incremental progress.
If they describe how you like to work and they energize you, this could be a great fit.

on what that will take.
About this role
The Finance team supports all financial activities in 10 countries, 9 of them in Africa. As part of the global finance team, you will run payment cycles across multiple countries and make them faster and more accurate. You’ll also support country finance operations, working closely with the rest of the Finance team.
You are a great candidate for this role if you have hands-on payments experience, strong numerical skills, learn new systems quickly, and already use technology and AI tools to work smarter.
Reports to:
Finance Manager
Level:
Officer
Location:
This role is open only to candidates based in Rwanda, DRC, Malawi, Kenya or Uganda, where we can employ you directly through a GiveDirectly entity.
Travel Requirement:
Must be able to travel 1-2 times per year to one of our countries of operation for team retreats or colocations
What you’ll do:
Payments and treasury
Run payment cycles in multiple countries end to end: preparing, validating and issuing payments, and resolving exceptions and failed payments quickly.
Reconcile payments with bank and mobile money statements, and investigate and clear any differences.
Support account funding, cash forecasting, and FX across multiple currencies to ensure payments are never delayed.
Work with banks, mobile money operators and country teams to fix payment and funding issues.
Improve and standardise payment processes across countries, and document them in clear SOPs.
Use automation and AI tools to improve payment accuracy, speed and reporting.
Country finance operations
Support country finance operations, e.g., petty cash counts, asset counts, and finance liaison with authorities on tax and statutory filings.
Support the wider Finance team as needed to meet department goals.
Risk and compliance
Apply strong controls in every payment process, including maker-checker, audit trails and segregation of duties.
Handle recipient and payment data securely, and flag fraud risks early.
Understand and implement compliance requirements from tax regulators and payment partners.
Support in-country audits and special reporting to donors and regulators on request.
What you’ll bring:
Exceptional alignment with
GiveDirectly Values
and active demonstration of our core competencies: emotional intelligence, problem solving, project management, follow-through, and fostering inclusivity. We welcome and strongly encourage applications from candidates who have personal or professional experience in the low-income and/or historically marginalized communities that we serve.
