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.
