Director, Humanitarian

Lead GiveDirectly’s emergency and humanitarian programming globally, ensuring we deliver rapid, dignified, and evidence-based cash relief to people affected by crises. You’ll oversee strategy, partnerships, and execution across multiple contexts, from conflict displacement to climate disasters, ensuring our model adapts quickly to evolving needs while maintaining GiveDirectly’s core principles of transparency and respect. This is a senior leadership role for someone who thrives in fast-moving, complex settings and wants to help redefine how humanitarian aid is delivered.

You will shape global humanitarian strategy, build and manage partnerships, lead emergency response design, drive operational excellence, and strengthen risk and safeguarding systems. Represent GiveDirectly externally: serve as a thought leader and advocate for direct giving as a humanitarian tool at global forums. You will also develop and coach team members.
