Editorial Director
Our Mission: To connect all people in need and the programs that serve them (with dignity and ease).
Findhelp picks up where Uncle Sam leaves off by making it easy to find and apply for government and charitable social service programs. By organizing the world's human service program information, we make it easy for people in need and the people who help them to find help in seconds on https://findhelp.org.
We are looking for people who are driven to make the world a drastically better place and want to join our small group of thoughtful, committed citizens because they believe, as Margaret Mead said, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."
Please note: If our mission doesn't strike a chord with you that is OK. But please consider not applying. We are seeking people who come on fire after learning about what we do.
For positions based in Austin, TX, we are an in-office culture and believe face-to-face collaboration serves our mission best. Our Austin, TX based employees are expected to work in our office. For positions outside of the Austin, TX area, remote work is acceptable if we do not have an office in your area.
