  As the third longest working employee here, I created the current finance system, wrote all the policies for the employee handbook, established our office, was fundamental in the redesign of our website, built our IT systems from the ground up, and jumped through the hundreds of bureaucratic hoops necessary for an international NGO.Earthsight’s in-depth investigations produce a wide range of highly specific and technical tasks – including complex trade data queries, deep-dive research, international fieldwork planning, and the processing of mass documents with OCR.On a more day to day basis, I am entrusted to work independently and oversee all of Earthsight’s internal systems. I am also responsible for reporting to our donors and delivering the yearly audit – which for three years now has gone through without fault. Show less
