What you need

  • Quantitatively oriented advanced degree (e.g., in epidemiology, public health, economics, or a related field)
  • Substantial professional experience in global health or an adjacent field
  • Experience with program design, monitoring, or evaluation; epidemiology; cost-effectiveness modeling; or work in program implementation or funding
  • Ability to quickly get up to speed on new topics and task-switch effectively

What you get

  • Fully funded health, dental, vision, and life insurance for you and any dependents
  • Four weeks of paid time off per year, plus a one week organization-wide summer break
  • 16 weeks of fully paid parental leave
  • Ergonomic home workstations or coworking space memberships
  • Automatic contribution equal to 5% of your gross salary into your 403(b) retirement plan

Worth weighing

  • No specific mention of required travel frequency, but international site visits and conferences are part of the role
  • Position is remote-first but limited to candidates in select countries
  • Salary varies significantly based on location, which may affect candidates' decisions
  • The role requires a strong alignment with GiveWell's mission and methods, which may not suit everyone
