GiveIndia can provide you a great opportunity to reach out and make a real difference to the world! You will find the following:

- a challenging job that will stretch you and utilize your potential to the fullest, provided you can work under tough conditions and constraints. GiveIndia is not the place for those seeking semi-retired existence :-).

- a fantastic learning environment where you will learn more in 2-3 years than you would in 5-6 years in most other places.

- a place that emphasizes "doing" over just "thinking". We love ideas and generate tons of them every day, but we value people who can execute, and don't have room for just "thinkers".

- an ethical organization that itself does and also expects employees to pay taxes and file returns, and places a premium on honesty and integrity, not just at work.

Senior Technologist:

This would be a young, technologically brilliant person who is totally on top of the latest web and database technologies and believes that the Internet can change society in many more ways than we have seen so far.

The Senior Technologost, will design and implement our next generation website including an easy-to-use yet reliable website interface, driven by a powerful transaction engine and content mgt system and strong backoffice processing capabilities.

This is an excellent opportunity to use the latest web 2.0 tools and technologies to create change. The candidate will have the space and freedom to create several new online applications for use by NGOs and the giving public across India. The technology division can be eventually spun off into a separate IT for NGOs company.

The right candidate would be an ace techie conversant with Java and open source internet technologies like Drupal, Joomla, Ruby on rails, etc. An aptitude to "search the net" for plug and play tools and finding "appropriate tech solutions" to "fix problems" is essential. The candidate would be between 18-30 years of age (definitely under 35), and would have already built at least a few websites.

This is a critical position for us. Pay will be reasonable and can carry attractive performance linked incentives.

If you believe you fit the bill, send us your CV ( to careers@giveindia.org ) with a covering letter, describing the technologies you are familiar with, the websites, prototypes and other technological solutions you have built till date (with links wherever possible), and your thoughts on how you would change the current GiveIndia site.

Mini CEOs:

Young, exceedingly brilliant candidates (top 1% in class throughout your career), who are keen to lead a division or project entirely on their own for 2 years or more. As heads of a division, candidates will get a chance to create and execute a tight business plan, hire and manage a small team. Candidates could run existing divisions or in some cases, set up new ones. These positions offer phenomenal opportunity to learn and grow while contributing to a cause. Division heads will get access to some of the brightest minds in India as mentors.

On the flip side, performance expectations are high, and candidates will be expected to ‘show results’ soon. We work to stiff targets bordering on the unreasonable and there is no room for the light hearted in these roles. Pay will be decent but won't match corporate salaries. A very aggressive performance linked incentive is possible.

This is a “no-frills” job, and the work is the perk :) A spirit of service, wanting to ‘give back’ and make a difference are essential if you want to last in this for even a year.

Likely candidates will be those for whom top investment banking, consulting or marketing jobs are available but not exciting enough. They will typically be between 22-30 years old (definitely not above 35), with 1-10 years’ work experience. They would typically have a degree from one of the best institutions and would generally be seen as exceptional performers in academics, extra curricular activities and at work.
