Endeavor, a global non-profit with an award-winning model for private-sector development, seeks a dynamic professional to join its Indonesia Team.
The Organization: Endeavor (www.endeavor. org) is leading a global movement to catalyze long-term economic growth by selecting, mentoring and accelerating the best high impact entrepreneurs around the world. In 14 years, Endeavor has screened and provided feedback to 23,000+ candidates and selected 500+ high impact entrepreneurs. Supported and mentored by our growing network of 1,000+ local and global business leaders, these entrepreneurs have created over 130,000 high-value jobs and generate more than $4.5 billion in annual revenues.
Endeavor's support catalyzes a chain reaction in the larger economy – driving investment, creating role models, and fostering the conditions for the next Silicon Valley in Rio or Cape Town, Cairo or Jakarta. It is what led Thomas Friedman to hail our model as the “best anti-poverty program of all.” Headquartered in New York City, Endeavor comprises 11 independently- run country affiliates across Latin America, the Middle East, and South Africa, with plans to expand to 20 countries by 2015. Endeavor is currently establishing and launching operations in Indonesia, and aims to become the leading supporter of high-impact entrepreneurship in Indonesia.
