You will found and run the organisation with seed funding for the first year of operations from the EA Infrastructure Fund. Your work will cover domains such as payroll, compliance, finance, accounting, HR and infrastructure for supported projects.

We’re seeking a founder who can evaluate the current landscape, find the places where they can add the most value and, if sucessful, scale up their support to help boost these programs. You’ll be guided by senior EAs who’ve spent decades operating in India.

If successful, this model could be replicated in other countries and help accelerate starting new projects around the world.

The role requires a person who is highly organised, proactive and entrepreneurial, with a background in audit who has excellent problem-solving skills, high attention to detail and the ability to quickly and effectively seek, absorb and process information for decision-making.

You will report to an international Board of Directors which would include experienced members of the Effective Altruism community in India and abroad.

Location: Candidates will need to be willing to relocate to India. The exact location within India would be flexible, but we expect it would be to a city with an existing EA community such as New Delhi or Mumbai.

Salary: 14-20 Lakhs INR per annum commensurate with experience, with some flexibility for more experienced or exceptional candidates.

Application deadline: April 30th 2021

We think that people who are considering charity entrepreneurship would be excellent candidates for this position.

We expect the application form to take about 15-20 minutes to complete. If you're not sure about applying because you don't know if you're qualified, we encourage you to apply anyways - we expect to speak to many applicants who apply for this position.
