This is a unique opportunity for a candidate who is comfortable with an outward facing role, seeking new opportunities for Jangala to support the connectivity needs of organisations in the UK and across the world and supporting our community of more than 300 existing partners who are using Jangala’s connectivity solutions to connect underserved communities and people without access to the internet.

You will have an eye for detail and can bring a systematic approach to coordinating core Jangala processes and systems.
About Jangala
Jangala is a technology charity dedicated to providing essential internet access globally, with the goal of connecting 4 million people to the internet by 2030. Founded in 2015 as a volunteer initiative providing Wi-Fi to 5,000 people in the Calais Jungle refugee camp, Jangala offers a unique approach through its novel connectivity solutions, and takes great pride in its strong partnerships with international aid actors, grassroots organisations and public bodies. To date, we have directly connected 100,000 individuals in 36 countries.
We are driven by a vision of equalising technology for everyone, and are fully committed to addressing the realities of digital exclusion and the fragilities of internet connectivity, both in the UK and around the world. As a non-political, non-governmental registered charity, we focus on bridging the digital divide and enhancing connectivity resilience.
Since our full-time founding, we’ve made a significant impact through innovative technology and robust partnerships. Big Box, our rugged connectivity champion, generates Wi-Fi in critical and challenging environments from connecting refugee camps in Eastern Africa to community hubs across the UK. Get Box, developed rapidly during the COVID-19 pandemic, ensures that digitally excluded households and individuals are able to stay connected to the internet, whatever their circumstances.

Supporting Jangala’s community of existing partners who are using Big Box and Get Box technology to connect communities will also be an important part of what you do.
