What we're looking for

• Have you wondered what a better world would be like, when it comes to education, health, climate change, food security, natural ecosystems, urban living and other domains?
• When solving these challenges - often referred to as 'wicked problems' (complex, intertwined and systemic ones) - isn't the mandate often set for one person, organisation, industry or country, yet requires a type of systemic collaboration between diverse & unlikely allies? One that requires reimagining better futures & prototyping them through running micro experiments in different contexts?
• Well, if you've ever wondered about being a designer, curator and facilitator of that type of transformational change, we have a role for you 🙂.
• We're looking for a bright & energetic mission-oriented human, looking to leave a mark in a world beset with systemic failures. A remote position, though being in the UAE would help, and reporting directly to the CEO, a great candidate would be one passionate about social impact, experienced in program design & management, a confident communicator & someone with great follow-through - in other words, someone who gets things done. A leader, someone who thrives on collaboration, unlearning what doesn't work and ready to stretch and figure out the unfamiliar and unknown - as demanded in a small team, looking to scale new frontiers.
• And while having experienced projects in the domains mentioned at the start isn’t critical, it will certainly make for a stronger application…

If you're ready for this, then keep reading ... or press delete/find a more comfortable role 🙂.
