Human Resource and Operations (HRO) Officer At Triangle

About Us

Triangle aims to bridge the divide between policy making, empirical research, and the media to produce lasting results for clients, a rewarding environment for its team, and positively impact the communities where we operate. To integrate policy, research, and media, Triangle incorporates empirical enquiry with effective communications, developing clear, concise, and effective evidence-based solutions for the organizations we work with. Through this integrated approach, Triangle endeavours to transfer ownership of how decisions are made so that people have a greater say in how policy and development shape their lives.

As a growing organization, we are looking for highly motivated individuals who bring their expertise, ambitions, and innovative project ideas to complement our mission. We work in a multilingual, highly collaborative environment, with staff and consultants distributed over multiple time zones. As such, we seek colleagues who can manage projects independently and deliver exceptional results. In return, we offer unusual autonomy and opportunities for growth. If this sounds like the team you’ve been looking for, we would love to hear from you.
