🚀 Officer, Digital Public Infrastructure Functional Team

Officer, Digital Public Infrastructure Functional Team

The Foundation is 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, including 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 Team

The Global Growth & Opportunity (GGO) division works to catalyze sustainable and transformative socio‑economic change. We focus on Agricultural Development, Digital Public Infrastructure, Inclusive Financial Services, Global Education, Nutrition, and Water, Sanitation & Hygiene. The Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) team focuses on enabling a model for digital transformation that is inclusive, equitable, and collaborative, accelerating the Sustainable Development Goals.

Across the foundation, digital is a core component of many global strategies. We seek to ensure that digital development in LMICs follows the DPI approach—interoperable, safe, inclusive, sustainable, scalable—as the default methodology. Consistently applying this approach improves efficiencies and replaces bespoke tools with reusable, horizontal assets.
