    Who We Are

    IREX is a global development and education organization. We strive for a more just, prosperous, and inclusive world—where individuals reach their full potential, governments serve their people, and communities thrive. With a projected annual portfolio of more than $100 million and more than 600 staff worldwide, we work with partners in more than 100 countries in four areas essential to progress: cultivating leaders, empowering youth, strengthening institutions, and increasing access to quality education and information.

    The Development Associate will assist the New Business Development Unit with administrative, compliance, logistics and research support. The development team works across IREX's Practices (Education; Communities and Governance; Information and Media; Youth; and Leadership) to produce proposals for US, Bilateral, Multilateral and other donors.

    We are doers. Our decades of on-the-ground experience help us create greater impact, practical recommendations, and lasting partnerships.
