Teams
Executive
Our Executive team brings a laser-sharp focus to the operational and infrastructure needs of our organisations. We guide EV Operations to deliver on the details and support our organisations in achieving the most impact possible. We manage capacity, set the direction of our staff, take care of the legal and governance issues, and support the EV board.
Fiscal Sponsorship
Our Fiscal Sponsorship team provides additional oversight, governance and support to our organisations. We’re the main point of contact with organisations to ensure they have everything they need to grow and build their impact. We also support the EV board to manage the pipeline of incoming organisations.
Finance
Our Finance team tracks all the financial activity across the organisations we support, ensuring they have a clear and accurate picture of their budgets and runway. We love data analysis and providing useful business insights to organisational decision makers. The Finance team also maintains our expense and payments infrastructure.
Staff Support
Our Staff Support team supercharges staff across all organisations — by giving them access to the benefits and resources they need to do impactful work. We craft seamless onboarding experiences (including visas, contracts, and payroll) and benefits packages (including healthcare, pensions, and equipment) so that staff feel supported and empowered to do world-changing work.
Systems
Our Systems team manages grantmaking and develops CRM systems for our organisations. We aim to automate tasks and unlock valuable data that will allow organisations to track key metrics and increase the effectiveness of their programmes. The Systems team also mitigates cybersecurity risk and provides support on donor relations.
Property
Our Property team manages all of the offices, EA hubs and properties to ensure that all staff and work guests have an outstanding place to work. We ensure that our workspaces boost productivity, enable new ideas and collaborations to arise, support people’s long-term wellbeing, and are welcoming and safe environments for all.
