GiveDirectly is hiring a remote Internal Audit Field Officer for approximately 20 to 29 hours per week at $32 per hour.
This is a specialized part-time contractor role, not a general beginner opening. Applicants must be fluent in written and spoken Spanish and/or Arabic, have at least two years of experience working with vulnerable communities, and be comfortable conducting sensitive recipient interviews through call center technology.
The job is remote in the United States and may involve less than 5% travel to connect with the Internal Audit team for resources. The official Greenhouse application was active when checked on August 29, 2026. Greenhouse job ID: 4720042005.
What Is GiveDirectly?
GiveDirectly is a nonprofit organization that sends cash transfers directly to people living in poverty. The organization says it has delivered more than $1 billion to more than two million people across 15 countries.
The Internal Audit Field Officer works on the Recipient Safeguarding and Advocacy team. That team is separated from normal operations so it can investigate whether recipients face fraud, theft, impersonation, family conflict, or other risks connected to cash-transfer programs.
The official description sometimes refers to the worker as a coordinator even though the posted title is Internal Audit Field Officer. Applicants should use the official title on their application and ask GiveDirectly how the internal coordinator level relates to the contractor classification.
Pay and Benefits
GiveDirectly lists a U.S. base rate of $32 per hour and expects approximately 20 to 29 hours per week, although weekly hours may vary. At that range, gross weekly pay would be approximately $640 to $928 before taxes when the full expected hours are available.
The title identifies the opening as a part-time contractor role. Elsewhere, the listing mentions paid training, a robust health-benefits plan that varies by country, flexible paid time off, a bonus, a desk-setup allowance, and a learning-and-development allowance.
Because contractor status and benefit eligibility can differ, applicants should not assume they receive every general benefit listed. Confirm whether the worker will be a W-2 employee or independent contractor, whether hours are guaranteed, which benefits apply to this exact opening, how taxes are handled, and whether paid time off and bonuses apply.
GiveDirectly says Field Officers attend paid training and receive a company-issued smartphone, tablet, or computer for data collection.
Job Highlight: Internal Audit Field Officer
Half of the role focuses on remote recipient surveys. The Field Officer uses call center technology to ask recipients about problems such as difficulty collecting funds, family conflict, theft, scams, impersonation, and other potential harm.
About 40% of the work involves reports and documentation. The worker records complaints, updates case notes, escalates difficult situations, briefs the manager, and produces weekly summaries of cases and outcomes. The remaining work supports planning, risk assessment, recipient protection, community engagement, and research into suspected online imposters or scammers.
This role requires emotional maturity and careful judgment. Interviews may involve private financial information, government benefits, alleged abuse, or fraud. Strong candidates should be able to listen without making assumptions, document sensitive facts accurately, and follow escalation rules.
Key Responsibilities
- Conduct remote recipient surveys through call center technology.
- Ask about fraud, theft, impersonation, family conflict, and other potential harm.
- Record incidents and case notes in AidKit, Zendesk, and other internal systems.
- Track survey responses, key performance indicators, and adverse-event trends.
- Collect complaints and respond within the required time frame.
- Escalate difficult or urgent cases according to established protocols.
- Brief the Internal Audit Manager on findings and next steps.
- Produce weekly reports covering cases, observations, and outcomes.
- Maintain current case notes through resolution and recipient redress.
- Support risk assessment, community engagement, and recipient protection work.
- Research suspected online imposters and scammers through social media and other sources.
- Protect confidentiality and maintain independence from the operations team.
Qualifications
GiveDirectly requires:
- Proficiency in English
- Fluency in written and spoken Spanish and/or Arabic
- At least two years of experience working with vulnerable communities
- Strong active-listening and investigative-interview skills
- Ability to discuss sensitive income, benefits, fraud, and personal-risk information discreetly
- Strong judgment, critical thinking, empathy, and emotional intelligence
- Comfort using a smartphone, tablet, or computer for case records and surveys
- Legal authorization to work in the United States without current or future visa sponsorship
- Commitment to GiveDirectly's safeguarding standards and mission
French or Portuguese fluency is a plus. The posting does not list a college-degree requirement, but the language requirement and community experience requirement significantly narrow the applicant pool.

Location and Schedule
The job page lists Remote USA. The application asks whether candidates are legally authorized to work in the United States and whether sponsorship is required.
GiveDirectly expects approximately 20 to 29 hours per week, but says the hours can vary. The posting does not list fixed workdays, daily hours, time-zone requirements, weekend duty, or minimum guaranteed hours.
The location section says work is remote but staff may be asked to travel less than 5% to connect with the Internal Audit team for resources. A separate field says there is no travel requirement. Applicants should confirm whether any travel is expected and who pays related expenses.
This is not a non-phone job. Recipient surveys are conducted through call center technology and make up approximately half of the work.
Closing Notes
This opening may fit a bilingual community-services, safeguarding, case-management, or nonprofit professional who wants part-time remote work and has experience interviewing people about sensitive situations.
The biggest advantages are the $32 hourly rate, 20-to-29-hour target, remote U.S. designation, paid training, and employer-provided data-collection device. The biggest catches are the required Spanish and/or Arabic fluency, two years of relevant community experience, phone-based interviews, variable hours, sensitive subject matter, and unclear contractor benefit eligibility.
Applicants should ask GiveDirectly to reconcile the listing's contractor title with its general benefits language and the conflicting travel statements before accepting an offer.
