ABOUT KOPERNIK
Kopernik
is an exciting, fast-growing, cutting-edge organisation tackling
technology distribution challenges. We emphasise a hybrid
philanthropy-business model in achieving our mission - different from the traditional charity approach of giving away goods and services for free.
Our
team works tirelessly to put the last mile first. Our culture shapes
the way we work. We value action, we get things done, we are open and
transparent in everything we do, and we always look for ways to
innovate. We come to work with a smile, which is easy when a strict no
jerks policy applies.
THE POSITION
The
role will work with our team on the Wonder Women Indonesia program,
making clean energy technologies available in remote communities through
a network of Tech Agents. Tech Agents are local women entrepreneurs who
sell life-changing technologies, such as water filters, cookstoves and
solar lights, within their communities, earning a margin from each sale.
The
Program Officer (Business Development) will provide a range of services
to support and guide Tech Agents through various stages of development,
so that they become more effective in managing their businesses and
expanding the distribution of clean energy technologies.

- A can-do and collaborative mind set – comfortable with the ambiguities and demands of a rapidly evolving work environment.
- Excellent management and organisational skills.
- High energy levels.
- A commitment to Kopernik’s values and reaching underserved communities.
- Willingness to travel, a lot.
