It does help to keep you on track.

Exactly.

It's just that when you think about low-income parents and carers, there is a whole host of additional ways your life is complicated and overwhelming that just makes it harder to remember to go get those vaccines.

We had a business development role that I think just closed this week.

The one role that's still open until Monday is head of technology.

In the future, we plan to have some monitoring and evaluation roles open up.

I would say broadly, because we are a startup and move fairly quickly, if you're interested in this line of work, please take a look at our website and sign up for our newsletter.

I am quite keen to move as much of our team to India as possible, given there is a surplus of talent in there.

Even within this space of evidence-based, cost-effective decision-making and nonprofit sector,

there are fairly well-developed organizations there and potential staff members.

So I think the business development person, for instance, may be based anywhere.

But for most of our operational team moving forward, the likelihood is they'd be based in India.

I think based on CE's advice and even otherwise, we realized operations was one of our crucial roles.

And I know that's something EA and CEA have been promoting as well.

So I think that's something we have mostly figured out, I'd like to think.

So we have a head of operations now.

At the moment, we do think there are some exponential leaps we could have with a head of tech, which is why we are going for this role.

I can tell you more about that.

Yeah, yeah, go for it.

So the main aims of this role is to identify priority opportunities and bottlenecks, to design solutions both by talking to us team members, but also possibly talking to the end users that we're trying to reach.
