“I love that there are many different ways to contribute to CIFF's mission, and our colleagues come from so many different backgrounds. I joined CIFF after spending the majority of my career in the private sector, but now I have opportunity to use these same skills in my role leading CIFF's finance team.

What it’s like to work at CIFF
People at CIFF are united by a shared passion for improving the lives of children, and our culture is shaped by colleagues who are collaborative, dynamic and committed to making a difference. The goals we are working towards are ambitious. They require us to think creatively and work collaboratively.
To enable this, our culture is supportive and genuinely values the diverse perspectives needed to meet this challenge. This is underpinned by our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion.
We know our staff work hard, so the organisation works to create a sense of community which celebrates successes and leaves some room for fun. Each CIFF office has its own traditions, whether that’s taking time to have lunch together each day, weekly running clubs, or monthly book clubs.
“Of the many great things about working at CIFF, two stand out for me. The first is being able to play a small part in meaningful work that directly improves the lives of children, today and in the future. The second is the people; I feel lucky to work with and learn from brilliant colleagues across our various offices, as well as external partners, from co-funders to local organisations. We are all committed to finding impactful, long-lasting solutions to some of humanity’s most complex challenges."

“I feel exceptionally fortunate to work at CIFF – at any time, and particularly in this moment for Africa. It is not every day that one’s work enables one to truly feel like an agent of change, surrounded by likeminded, motivated people. It is deeply fulfilling to interact daily with experienced and committed colleagues within CIFF and our external partners to drive longstanding change. At CIFF, I have got to see the systemic challenges that make our work both difficult and necessary, and have been able to act, together with our government, funding, and implementation partners, to design and implement solutions that seek to improve the lives of children not just today, but for generations to come.
