What you'll do
- Build training materials that make new designs usable in the field, e.g. turning new survey designs, program changes, and Salesforce releases into practical training decks, job aids, quick-reference sheets, and step-by-step guides written for use on a tablet in the field
- Write internal communications pitched to the level of the reader, producing the version each audience needs: the why and risk for a Country Director; timeline, staffing and cost implications for a Program Director; supervision and quality-check changes for a Field Manager or Assistant Field Manager; and exactly what to do differently tomorrow for a Field Officer
- Deliver training live, and record it when live doesn't scale, e.g. running training sessions with country teams before a rollout in person or remotely, recording screen-capture demo videos of new builds and flows, and building a library new staff can be pointed to
- Own release notes and change documentation, writing clear release notes as changes ship to the common Salesforce build and keeping documentation current
- Work across English, Portuguese and French, producing or adapting materials so Mozambique and DRC teams receive them in a usable language on the same timeline, and managing translation support where own languages don't reach
- Be a useful pair of hands to a small, fast-moving product team, e.g. ad-hoc support across the Program Design team such as pulling together a briefing, cleaning up a deck, taking notes and turning them into actions, chasing an open item across countries
- Close the loop from the field back to design, noticing recurring questions in training, designs that cannot be explained simply, or field teams quietly working around a change, and bringing that back to design owners
What we're looking for
- Exceptional alignment with GiveDirectly Values and active demonstration of core competencies: emotional intelligence, problem solving, project management, follow-through, and fostering inclusivity
- English professional written fluency, plus professional working proficiency in Portuguese or French
- Prior experience as a Field Officer, or in a directly equivalent frontline data-collection or enrollment role, at GiveDirectly or a comparable cash transfer, humanitarian, or survey organization
- Excellent written English: clear, short, and organized, with a real instinct for what a reader needs and what they can be spared
- Professional working proficiency in Portuguese or French, including written
- Experience producing training or instructional material, and delivering training live to groups
- Ability to translate technical or system changes into plain, practical instruction without losing the parts that matter
- Organized and self-directed enough to run a queue of requests from several stakeholders, and to say clearly when it is over capacity
- Willingness to travel to field sites, including rural and low-infrastructure locations
Nice to have
- Comfort recording and lightly editing screen-capture demo videos (e.g., Loom or similar)
- Familiarity with GiveDirectly's core systems — Salesforce, CommCare, Call Center Studio
- Experience writing release notes, product documentation, or change communications
- Formal training in instructional design or adult learning
- Experience delivering training across languages, or working with interpreters and translators
- Progression from Field Officer into a supervisory role (AFM/FM), giving sight of what supervisors need as well as what field staff need
- English, Portuguese and French all three
- Additional languages spoken in our countries of operation
