    Description

    Acumen, an international nonprofit working to solve problems of poverty, is looking for an Executive Assistant to serve the CEO.

    About Acumen

    We're investors. A different kind of investor.

    To date, Acumen has positively impacted 501 million lives by investing $154M of patient capital in 167 innovative, early-stage companies in Africa, Latin America, South Asia, and the United States.

    Through Acumen Capital Partners, we are responsible for nearly $243 million in assets under management via our for-profit funds which have impacted 32 million people and offset 18 million tons of carbon.

    But investing clearly isn't just about capital. It's about investing in people. We've been investing in people for years through Acumen Academy.
