Virtual Survey Draftsman Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Organization Description
Vital Voices Global Partnership is a leading international non-profit organization. We invest in women leaders who are tackling the world's greatest challenges - from gender-based violence to the climate crisis, economic inequities, and more. We are "venture catalysts," identifying leaders with a daring vision for change and partnering with them to make that vision a reality. What sets Vital Voices apart is that we make long-term, holistic investments in leaders with bold ideas for change - providing them with connections, capacity, a network of their peers, financial support, and visibility for their work. We have provided early support for leaders who went on to become Nobel Peace Laureates, US Youth Poet Laureates, Prime Ministers, award winning innovators and breakthrough social entrepreneurs. Over the past 27 years, we have directly invested in more than 49,000 change-makers across 195 countries, who in turn have improved the lives of millions of people in their communities and countries.
Vital Voices' staff is headquartered in Washington, DC. In the coming years we have a bold vision to dramatically scale our impact. In early 2022, we opened the first ever Global Headquarters for Women's Leadership, a 30,000+ sq. ft. historic building just blocks from the White House on 16th Street. It is a hub of activity, events, and collaborations - bringing together women leaders and their allies to tackle the world's greatest challenges.
