Technical Program Manager, Emergency Cash
Role Overview
GiveDirectly’s Emergency Cash team delivers rapid, technology-enabled cash assistance to people affected by crises.
The Technical Program Manager (TPM), Emergency Cash will build, configure, and manage the technology used for those responses - including systems for data collection, verification, payments, and monitoring - and ensure they are reliable, replicable, and ready for rapid deployment.
In this role, you’ll translate emergency response needs into actionable technical requirements, coordinate cross-functional teams during activations, and strengthen our global readiness by improving tools and surfacing technical gaps to inform the product and technology roadmap.
The Emergency Cash team is a remote-first team built around trust, ownership, and flexibility.
Because this role supports emergency responses, the TPM may need to provide surge capacity and work across multiple timezones during activations, in line with pre-established on-call schedules.
This position is ideal for someone who thrives in fast-moving, ambiguous environments, can bridge the gap between technical teams and field realities, and is motivated to redefine how humanitarian responses leverage technology.
Reports to: Senior Product Manager, Solutioning, Emergency Cash
Level : Manager
Travel Requirement: Up to 20% international travel for emergency deployments, field testing, partner coordination, and team retreats.
This recruitment is for two vacancies.
