Ashoka’s Changemakers is looking for innovative candidates to join its growing team. Changemakers, an initiative of Ashoka, focuses on scaling-up high-impact social innovations to tackle the world’s most pressing issues, from human trafficking to climate change.
The community connects social innovators, who are often isolated, to peers, providing a platform to spread their ideas and increase the rate of innovation. These innovators are then connected to investors and other supporters through the Changemakers Collaborative Competitions, which to date have surfaced more than 1,400 social innovations from more than 100 countries and introduced them to investors such as the Gates, Nike, Ford, MacArthur, and Robert Wood Johnson Foundations.
The Changemakers Team is seeking persons for its staff who can identify needs in the social change sector and turn them into opportunities for Changemakers.net and its network. We want staff who can balance highly creative, entrepreneurial thinking with getting the job done.
Ideal staff candidates are knowledgeable and passionate about social entrepreneurship, systems-changing ideas, and the global power of the Internet to mobilize citizens in changing the world. They are also curious, witty, detail-oriented, and “in-the-trenches” hard working.Are You a Changemaker?
