We want to give you the opportunity to carve out your own place in the world, learn from sharp, committed colleagues and be part of an energizing culture that’s low on bureaucracy and high on impact (and fun).
Why this position is great for you:
- You’ll get to learn about the most important issues in the world—from eradicating malaria and polio, fighting climate change, to ending poverty, as well as what kinds of skills and professionals are needed to tackle these challenges;
- You’ll get to work with people from literally every corner of the globe, and help strengthen the foundations of a growing and dynamic team across offices in Washington DC, Barcelona, and Manila;
- You’ll get to explore different approaches to improving existing project management systems and administrative processes related to recruitment in the international development industry;
- You will get an insider’s look on how the hiring process works at hundreds of international organizations, global development NGOs, and consulting firms;
- You go home each day knowing you are helping talented professionals find their dream jobs and employers find the perfect candidates to realize their missions;
- We’re a young, dynamic company that’s growing fast and that has an open, collaborative culture.
What we need from you:

- Serving as point person for project management tools and applications, responsible for regularly tracking progress and updating colleagues accordingly;
- Database and file management, ensuring system integrity at all times throughout various digital platforms;
- Assisting with drafting summary reports, gathering and analyzing data and metrics for internal use and client deliverables;
- Managing inquiries from candidates / clients across the TS business lines as needed, with focus on supporting large-scale recruitment projects;
- Monitoring emails and ensuring requests, queries, or concerns are addressed;
- Researching on and testing new platforms for process improvements, occasionally conducting demos, and providing recommendations to inform decision-making;
- Screening and classifying resumes, as needed.
Requirements:
To fit well in this role you must be sharp, organized, know how to see a project through from start to finish, and have the research and analytical skills to learn the nuance of global development operations. And—this really matters—you need the communications skills that attract colleagues to want to work with you.
You also must have…
- A bachelor’s degree in a related field (communications, international development, marketing, etc.);
- 1-2 years of experience in an administrative or coordination position (internships and volunteer work count);
- Native or near native written and spoken English skills;
