Remote, Oregon, United States Digital Green Full time

About Digital Green

Digital Green is a global development organization that is creating a world where farmers use technology and data to build prosperous communities. We join forces with governments, private agencies, and most importantly, rural communities themselves to co-create digital solutions that are of the community and for the community. When farmers have the tools they need to connect with one another, they're far more likely to apply what they've learned on their farms and in their households–improving their own livelihoods and those of others in their community, in a manner that's nutrition-sensitive, climate-resilient, and inclusive.

So far, Digital Green has reached 3 million rural community members across over 8,000 villages across multiple countries, primarily India, Ethiopia and Kenya. Digital Green operates from offices in San Francisco, New Delhi, and Addis Ababa. Digital Green is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in the US. For more information, please visit Digital Green's website:

Digital Green is entering an exciting phase of development as it expands its offerings beyond digital advisories to also include solutions focused on financing & data; and also expand to include Kenya as a priority geography alongside India and Ethiopia. As part of this expansion, Digital Green is building a small team of exceptional individuals with a passion for finding solutions to pressing development problems, a curiosity about complex issues facing the world's poor, and a drive to tell our story. This is an exciting opportunity to join Digital Green's new and growing team, supporting our ongoing programs, country expansion and start-up operations.
