Job Description:
The FoundationWe are the largest nonprofit fighting poverty,
disease, and inequity around the world. Founded on a simple
premise: people everywhere, regardless of identity or
circumstances, should have the chance to live healthy, productive
lives. We believe our employees should reflect the rich diversity
of the global populations we aim to serve. We provide an
exceptional benefits package to employees and their families which
include comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage with no
premiums, generous paid time off, paid family leave,
foundation-paid retirement contribution, regional holidays, and
opportunities to engage in several employee communities. As a
workplace, we're committed to creating an environment for you to
thrive both personally and professionally.The TeamThe Gender
Equality Division's mission is to ensure women and girls in Africa
and South Asia can enjoy good health, make their own choices, earn
their own money, and be leaders in their societies. When women and
girls have an equal chance to thrive and lead, everyone benefits.
We know that women and girls are not a monolith. A woman's
experience and the barriers she faces are different depending on
factors like where she lives, how old she is, and how much money
her family has-alongside other factors including her race, caste,
and education level. We seek to address these compounding barriers
through deep partnership with our grantees. As a philanthropy, our
role is to listen to and learn from these experts. We take risks in
new areas, prove concepts, and bring these ideas to governments,
partner organizations, and private sector companies to scale. The
Gender Equality Division builds off our existing strengths as a
