ABOUT KOPERNIK
Kopernik
is an exciting, fast-growing, cutting-edge organisation tackling
technology distribution challenges. We emphasise a hybrid
philanthropy-business model in achieving our mission - different from the traditional charity approach of giving away goods and services for free.
Our
team works tirelessly to put the last mile first. Our culture shapes
the way we work. We value action, we get things done, we are open and
transparent in everything we do, and we always look for ways to
innovate. We come to work with a smile, which is easy when a strict no
jerks policy applies.
THE POSITION
LOCATION: VARIOUS LOCATIONS
The
role will work with our team on the Wonder Women Eastern Indonesia,
making clean energy technologies available in remote communities through
a network of women micro-social entrepreneurs (MSEs). These local women
entrepreneurs sell life-changing technologies, such as water filters,
cookstoves and solar lights, within their communities, earning a margin
from each sale. Kopernik supplies technologies on consignment to these
MSEs and provides a suite of training and support to help them succeed.
Many MSEs are based in remote areas with little or no access to
telecommunications or Internet.
LOCATIONS: Sumba, Flores, West Timor
