You'll be on top of all the information flowing in and out of our water programs in the field and across our organization.

As Water Programs Associate, you’ll be on top of all the information flowing in and out of our water programs–in the field and across our organization. Reporting to the Water Programs and Operations Senior Manager, you’ll oversee data quality across thousands of water projects and manage partnership details for a set of international implementing organizations, tracking the status of grant implementation and keeping accurate records for all grant outputs. You’ll also share content and information internally across the charity: water teams, helping to equip fundraising teams with information to engage and expand our supporter base. You’ll use your judgment to support a transition to more AI-assisted workflows alongside existing systems and processes that make our partnerships models of efficiency and transparency. You'll work with a small, hardworking, and high-performing team to make sure that charity: water's funds are invested in the most relevant and effective water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) programs out there, positioning our programs to achieve maximum impact today and over time.

You can handle and prioritize several projects at once. You can turn a long thread of email correspondence into actionable items for multiple people. You like to see a standardized process through, from beginning to end.

You have an aptitude for data review, analysis, and management. You enjoy working in spreadsheets, and can connect that data to real-world scenarios.

You see something that needs improvement and you take action. You propose solutions to problems and research subjects that will help you do your job better. You love gathering and serving up information in a way that makes sense to the unique needs of the organization. You’re not afraid to ask for help, but you’ll turn over every stone before doing so.

You’re a proactive, transparent, and concise communicator. You can communicate needs and expectations effectively across languages and cultures. You operate with poise, dignity, and reliability.

You're an avid team player
You're assured in your skills and not afraid to speak your mind, but you know how to put the team first.

The Water Programs team works closely with our local partners, vetting, managing, monitoring the programs we fund, and acquiring the information we need to report back to our donors. They manage tens of millions in donor dollars in over 22 countries (and growing) each year. They are the protectors of our transparency pillar, ensuring our partners continue to meet our sustainability and reporting requirements.
