Diversity, equity, and inclusion
To have the greatest possible impact, we make diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) a priority, starting with the people we hire and how we work to retain them. As our workforce grows, so does our opportunity to truly reflect the communities we serve.

What we look for
Our employees come to us from many professional backgrounds—from business and tech to academia, medicine, government, and nonprofits. They are drawn to our foundation by the opportunity to fund and shape pathbreaking approaches to alleviating poverty, disease, and inequity around the world. Many have never worked for a philanthropy before.
We value people who understand the nuances of working with governments, multilateral organizations, corporations, public health agencies, universities, and other donors.
