Join Our Team

Ethics and Dignity Auditing is a new professional field, and this role sits at its entry point. It requires the ability to absorb complex evaluative logic quickly and to work with a framework that has no industry equivalent. You will spend your time learning the Survivor Alignment Index (SAI) in depth, reviewing field‑level material, and understanding how narrative, governance, and dignity interact in real organisational systems. This is not an assistant position; it is an early leadership track for someone who wants to take responsibility for audit flows, understand the architecture behind the SAI, and contribute to its ongoing refinement. The work is demanding, analytical, and often uncomfortable.

This role requires the ability to read organisations at their deepest structural level. You will work with extensive documentation, field evidence, and visual material to determine whether an institution’s public narrative aligns with the lived reality of the communities it serves. The SAI is a rigorous, multi‑pillar framework, and applying it requires discipline, neutrality, and a willingness to confront uncomfortable truths. At times, this includes verification interviews or on‑site visits when clarity cannot be achieved remotely. The work is slow, forensic, and grounded in dignity rather than performance. Those who thrive here are individuals who can hold complexity without losing precision, and who understand that ethical evaluation is not a checklist but a responsibility.

The Risk Intelligence Analyst ensures that every organisation entering the SAI environment does so from a position of structural readiness. This role focuses on understanding whether an institution’s public narrative, governance signals, and baseline communication practices are sufficiently aligned with the SAI to proceed toward a Donor Trust Shield (DTS) or Comprehensive Portfolio Evaluation (CPE). When an organisation’s homepage, reports, or visual materials reveal early misalignments, you will initiate a pre‑emptive Narrative Alignment Scan (NAS) to provide them with a clear, structured risk assessment before any deeper evaluation begins. In many cases, this step protects the client as much as it protects the Forum, ensuring they do not enter a high‑integrity audit before addressing foundational issues. The work requires a calm, analytical mind capable of reading patterns, identifying inconsistencies, and forming independent judgements without pressure. It is a role grounded in discretion, intellectual stamina, and the understanding that integrity is maintained through thoughtful sequencing rather than exclusion. Those who recognise themselves in this responsibility will understand the weight and purpose of the position.

This position focuses on building long‑term institutional relationships in a field that is still emerging. You will navigate complex organisational landscapes, initiate conversations with senior leadership, and help institutions understand what the SAI is and what it is not. The work requires patience, clarity, and the ability to translate a new evaluative standard into terms that resonate across different sectors. Over time, you will maintain these relationships, gather unfiltered insights from the field, and feed them back into the audit and academy teams.

The Academy Lead is responsible for transforming a complex evaluative framework into a coherent training architecture. You will work closely with auditors, analysts, and operations to ensure that every professional entering the SAI environment is trained to the same forensic standard. This involves designing modules, updating them as the framework evolves, and ensuring that the methodology remains internally consistent. The work requires clarity of thought, pedagogical discipline, and a deep respect for the integrity of the SAI. Those who thrive here are individuals who enjoy building intellectual structures and who understand that training is not administrative, it is foundational.

This role builds the operational backbone that allows the SAI to function globally. You will design secure digital systems, oversee the development of the SAI mobile application, and ensure that auditors can work safely and efficiently across different contexts. The work sits at the intersection of process design, digital security, and product development. It requires someone who can think in systems, anticipate risks, and adapt infrastructure as the framework evolves. This is not a support role; it is a central pillar of the institution’s operational integrity.

This role shapes the written voice of the SAI. You will produce analytical commentary, institutional reports, and evidence‑based briefs that articulate the framework’s relevance within global development and philanthropy. The writing must be precise, serious, and free of corporate language. This is not content production; it is the articulation of a standard. Those who thrive here are individuals who think clearly, write with discipline, and understand the responsibility of representing an emerging evaluative field.

This role anchors the operational side of the audit division. You will manage documentation, maintain version control, and prepare structured drafts of audit reports before they enter multi‑stage review. Because the team is distributed, you will also help maintain internal cohesion by coordinating virtual meetings and connection points. The work requires reliability, discretion, and a commitment to administrative precision. It is a central support role for an institution that depends on order and clarity.
