For anyone interested in working with BOP issues, I came across this job posting this morning:


Unitus, a social enterprise based in Seattle, WA and Bangalore, India, is a worldwide leader at scaling proven solutions to global poverty. Unitus accelerates access to life-changing financial services for those living at the bottom of the economic pyramid – the three billion people who are living on less than $2 a day.

We seek a dynamic, passionate team player to develop and execute on a number of innovations that are critical to Unitus's long term goals and sustainability in an increasingly dynamic market around the world.

The successful candidate will be an out-of-the-box thinker, but also one that can manage multiple work streams in an organized fashion. He/ she must be comfortable with ambiguity and enjoy the process of cutting through complexity to find practical, highly leveraged and scalable solutions in the microfinance industry and to poverty related issues. He / she will catalyze the process of developing new business initiatives from the research phase through the analytical phase and be comfortable 'letting go' after the initial steps of implementation.
