Unless otherwise noted, the benefits stipend may be used to cover benefits or taken as additional taxable income.

This Research Director will own GiveDirectly’s strategic learning and measurement agenda across our largest and fastest-growing product line: Large Lump Sum (LLS) transfers.

This will include both core LLS programs, but also research on the market-level effects of cash transfers, and coaching add-ons which can enhance the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of transfers.

Working closely with Product Leads, Partnerships, and M&E staff across the organization, they will set direction for how GiveDirectly measures, evaluates, and communicates the impact of this programming — with particular emphasis on building the large-scale, strategic M&E infrastructure needed to characterize the aggregate effects of our programs as they scale.
