Fellowship Programme 2023
The
Opportunity
We are looking for five fellows to join us from May 2023.
This is a mid-career opportunity for people working in the private or public sectors and would like an introduction to the development world. Some years’ experience in industry is necessary to apply.
The base duration of the programme is 12 weeks. This can be extended to reflect fellows’ availability and programme structuring. This is not a compensated position, but all costs will be reimbursed, and a fellowship could result in employment.
Our fellowship can be undertaken at any location, so remote working is possible and preferred.
Programme areas are driven by our current activities and potential new areas of work for Scaled Impact. The exact scope and outputs will be defined together with fellows.
