Position description

Kiva is a nonprofit that’s been expanding access to capital through crowdfunded loans for nearly 20 years. Our brand is trusted and loved by a global community of people who’ve helped millions of borrowers start businesses, go to school, and improve their lives.

At the same time, we’re reimagining the consumer experience so that many more people can discover the joy and impact of funding a loan on Kiva.

This is a rare opportunity to help reimagine a beloved, global brand and bring it to even greater scale, grounded in a mission that truly matters. At Kiva, growth isn’t just a goal—it’s a moral imperative. The scale of the problems we choose to solve demands it.
