About Us
We believe every child deserves the chance to reach their full potential — and that strong foundations in literacy and numeracy are where this begins.
EIDU partners with governments to strengthen public education systems at scale. Our technology-enabled platform integrates proven educational interventions and supports learners, teachers, education officers, and ministry staff within national systems.
Today, we work with 38 governments and reach nearly 800,000 students across Kenya and Nigeria, with ambitions to reach tens of millions more. A randomized controlled trial found a 0.53 standard deviation improvement in learning outcomes — placing EIDU among the top 10% of education interventions in low- and middle-income countries.
We combine analytical rigor, entrepreneurial drive, and a strong bias toward disciplined execution. As we scale, we are building an organization capable of turning strategy into measurable impact at national scale.
EIDU is funded by leading development agencies, foundations, and impact investors.
We are now looking for a Chief of Staff to support our Chief Operating Officer with several strategic initiatives to accelerate EIDU’s learning, planning and ability to scale rapidly.
About the role
The Chief of Staff is a senior, cross-functional role designed to extend the effectiveness of the Chief Operating Officer. The role focuses on translating strategy into disciplined execution, strengthening organizational planning, and ensuring that EIDU scales with clarity, accountability, and impact.
Working closely with the COO, the Chief of Staff will coordinate and strengthen core cross-functional processes that support how EIDU designs, measures, and delivers its programs.
This role requires strong judgment, comfort with ambiguity, and the ability to work credibly with senior stakeholders across Learning, Research, Data, Country teams, Finance, People, Government Relations, and Fundraising.
