Associate - Finance | Project Tech4Dev | ₹10-12 LPA

Project Tech4Dev

Project Tech4Dev helps nonprofits use technology to do more good. It builds and shares open source platforms that NGOs (non-governmental organisations) can use for free, including Glific, Dalgo, Avni and Kaapi. It also helps nonprofits build their own technology and data skills by placing experienced technology professionals with them through its Fractional CxO (part-time chief technology, data or other senior officer) Program. The goal is simple: give nonprofits the tools and know-how they need to reach more people. This role sits within Project Tech4Dev's Operations team, which keeps the organisation running smoothly behind the scenes.
