  • A commitment to GFI's values: believe change is possible, do the most good we can, share knowledge freely, act on evidence, and invite everyone to the table.
We want the best people and we know that building a diverse, inclusive workplace leads to stronger, happier, more productive, and resilient teams. We strongly encourage people of every ethnicity, orientation, age, gender, origin, socio-economic background, and ability to apply. Since we value a diverse workplace, we prioritise an inclusive culture absent of discrimination and harassment during the application process and after you join the team.
Research indicates that men tend to apply for jobs when they meet just 60% of the criteria, while women and people from other marginalised groups only apply if they are a 100% match. If you are passionate about GFI's mission and think you have what it takes to be successful in this role even if you don't check all the boxes, please apply. We'd appreciate the opportunity to consider your application.
The Fine Print
  • Terms of employment: Full-time (flexible hours), permanent
  • Reports to: Cezarina Niculae, Head of Operations GFI Europe
  • Location: Flexible within the following countries: Belgium, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, or the UK, noting that the role requires work hours that crossover with team members in the United States, Brazil, Europe, Israel, India, Japan and Asia Pacific. This is a remote role, and you will be able to work from home, or anywhere you choose. We are happy to consider supporting costs for co-working to enable you to work from an office if you wish. The whole GFI Europe team aims to get together in person at least once per year for around 3-5 days at a time. Travel costs will be covered by GFI Europe within our policy.
  • Salary and benefits: The salary and benefits package for all of our roles are researched and benchmarked based on similar nonprofit roles in the country/location of hire. Due to capacity, we cannot complete that research for every country in advance, but an indicative gross range for Germany is:
    • €45,000-€60,000 / year. This range is based on a hire in Germany and will be adjusted if hired elsewhere in Europe.
    • GBP 51,600-55,200 / year. This range is based on a hire in the United Kingdom and will be adjusted if hired elsewhere in Europe.
  • Right-to-work requirements: The successful candidate must, by the start of the employment, have permission to work in either Belgium, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, or the UK, and to be able to travel within the EU, UK, and the U.S.
Important Dates
Application deadline: November 13, 2024
Application Instructions
GFI uses an anonymised hiring system that redacts key identifying personal information from all applications. We use this tool as part of an effort to reduce bias in our hiring process. Following these instructions will help to ensure your application is not delayed by a failed redaction.
  • Where possible, limit the creative formatting of your documents. If the name on your resume is an inserted image file or is styled with large spaces between each letter, for example, the redaction is likely to fail. Colours and designs are OK, but wherever possible, the text itself should just be regular text.
  • Please use consistent names. It helps to ensure that the name you use in your resume and other documents provided (where applicable) is the same as the name you type into the application below. For example, if your name is Jennifer, please mention that in your resume as "Jennifer" rather than "Jenny."
  • Submit PDF or .docx files only. Other file formats, like .txt, are likely to fail redaction.
  • Please do not include personal identifying information in your responses to the application questions. Referencing past education, work experience, and mission-alignment is OK.
  • Please do not contact the role's supervisor or any potential member of the hiring team. If you have questions, please email careers@gfi.org.
Thank you for helping us to ensure that the redaction process works smoothly and to review your application as quickly as possible!
