** The Foundation
** We are the largest nonprofit fighting poverty, disease, and inequity around the world. Founded on a simple premise: people everywhere, regardless of identity or circumstances, should have the chance to live healthy, productive lives. We believe our employees should reflect the rich diversity of the global populations we aim to serve. We provide an exceptional benefits package to employees and their families which include comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage with no premiums, generous paid time off, paid family leave, foundation-paid retirement contribution, regional holidays, and opportunities to engage in several employee communities.
As a workplace, we’re committed to creating an environment for you to thrive both personally and professionally.
** The Team
** The Enterprise Business Management Team sits at the center of foundation-wide business processes, serving the org in several key functions:
• We enable the business processes that fuel enterprise planning and central reporting. Our team provides business ownership to strategic projects that improve core resource allocation business processes, data, and reporting infrastructure.
