The Luminos Fund

The Luminos Fund accelerates learning for children denied education due to crisis or poverty. We develop and implement Second Chance, an intensive 10-month program that helps children catch up to grade level and return to formal schooling. Our impact is substantial; we've already reached over 277,000 children across Ethiopia, Ghana, Lebanon, Liberia, and The Gambia, partnering with local organizations to maximize reach and effectiveness. We are a rapidly growing non-profit with a global presence, offering remote work flexibility for many roles. Our work is recognized internationally through prestigious awards like the Klaus J. Jacobs Best Practice Prize and the Library of Congress International Literacy Award, reflecting our commitment to innovative and impactful education. We value collaboration, data-driven decision making, and a culture that prioritizes the well-being of both our staff and the children we serve. Our funding is robust, thanks to partnerships with organizations like Cartier Philanthropy, Dubai Cares, Legatum, and UBS Optimus Foundation. While our technology use isn't explicitly detailed, our operational needs indicate proficiency in standard productivity software such as Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), and project management tools. We also utilize digital asset management systems such as Canto for efficient content organization. The 'Grants and People Associate' role highlights the use of Rippling HRIS, Lattice Performance Management, and BreezyHR Applicant Tracking System. Our commitment to improving our processes and leveraging technology to maximize our impact continues to evolve. The Luminos Fund fosters a dynamic and supportive work environment. We offer a compelling mission, global reach, and opportunities for professional growth to those passionate about making a significant difference in the lives of children. We value diversity and inclusion and encourage applications from individuals with diverse backgrounds and experiences. We are a team that works collaboratively to achieve our ambitious goals. Our current team size is between 11 and 50 employees, and we're experiencing considerable growth fueled by our successful program and continued funding support. We offer remote work options for many roles, allowing us to attract and retain top talent from around the world.
