Summary from the posting
GiveDirectly is building a faster model for humanitarian response - using data, technology, and partnerships to identify people affected by crises and deliver cash within days. Making that possible requires legal pathways that can be established before a crisis and activated quickly when one occurs.
We are seeking a Counsel to build and lead that legal model. Approximately 70% of the role will focus on Emergency Cash, from preparing for future responses to leading the legal and regulatory work required during an active emergency. When a response is underway, EC work will take priority.
This is a short summary. The full description, requirements and the application form are on GiveDirectly's own career page.
